Scope and content
WW thanks JCH for the thought he has given WW's question and feels better able to discuss the matter with Aubrey Spring Rice. WW and forty Masters of Arts are taking singing lessons at the Lodge. Many of them want to be able to direct the teaching of singing in their parishes which they have or hope to have. WW finds that Taylor's Synonyms is going to be reprinted: 'There is much to disapprove of in the man...but he did something for the knowledge of German in England and might have done something for literature, if he had not been all extended on periodical review writing'. Has JCH got copies of the translations of Goethe's Hexameter Epistles which he inserted in the Athenaeum many years ago? WW would like to see them again.
