Scope and content

Trinity College - WW never actually got to London: 'I set off for the coast on Friday intending to see how the coast guard took up the orders of the Admiralty which were issued at my suggestion and finding that everything furnished well along the shore of Suffolk I thought I could not do better than come back and write philosophy'. WW expects he will 'have a postscript to my pamphlet ['Remarks on some parts of Mr. Thirlwall's letter on the Admission of Dissenters to Academical Degrees', 1834. See WW to RJ, 28 May 1834] to write for I find that Thirlwall is charging another pistol which he will let off in a day or two ['A Letter to the Rev. Thomas Turton, on the Admission of Dissenters to Academical Degrees', 2nd edn., to which is added a 2nd letter containing a vindication of some passages in the first letter', 1834]. I expect that I shall find it necessary to let off something in return. I was very glad that you liked the tone of my last and I shall probably keep the same ground in my reply' ['Additional Remarks on Mr Thirlwall's Letter...of Academical Degrees', 1834].
