Item 106 - William Whewell to Richard Jones

1 doc

Trinity College - WW has not applied [to the Cambridge Press syndicate] about RJ's book [Wages]: 'I have not been able to see or talk to anybody, your MS is scanty'. WW thinks they should leave it till the autumn. The British Critic has written to WW 'and is really surprised at the idea of having a fling at the Ricardos and McCullochs - I will, I think, send you my proof sheets when they come' ['Review of An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth and Sources of Taxation by the Revd Richard Jones', The British Critic, Quarterly Theological Review and Ecclesiastical Record, 10, 1831]. WW has started thinking about his theology and will begin writing very shortly ['Astronomy and General Physics Considered with Reference to Natural Theology', 1833].
