Scope and content
Trinity College - WW has been waiting for RJ's catalogue of required books. He has made a few purchases including 'the book which I recollect right you were most impatient for. Its title is England's measure by foreign trade etc..written by Thomas Mun of Lond. merchant. 1669-' Although the book might not be what RJ wants since WW recognises 'some of the sentences as what I have already seen in some of your pamphlets - particularly an enumeration of the qualities of a good merchant, and a hypothetical statement of exports...What I have made of it appears in a great measure very clever and sensible excepting the conclusions which he draws from his reasonings'. He has also another book entitled 'The unhappiness of England as to its trade by sea and land truly stated... ' by Charles Povey, 1701. WW also has 'the prize essay in 1755, fellow to the one which you have got, is A view of the manner in which trade and civil liberty support each other by Wm. Hazeland.' WW will send them to RJ. John Herschel has sent RJ the French periodical work which came from Edinburgh. The Cambridge fever has killed five Johnians.
