Scope and content
WW's reply was sufficiently to the point. WT's object was to obtain WW's influential name before they started. 'I have put my threat into execution and have seceded (as an honorary member) from the Cambridge Camden Society. I felt it anything but an honor to be even a nominal member of a Society whose flippancy and ignorance are unmatched: - the first being the consequence of the last'. WW has not, WT believes, paid much attention to Italian Gothic: 'I am at present rather interested as to the degree of knowledge the Italians had of Gothic architecture in the 13th century'.
