Scope and content

Trinity College - WW has been longer in writing up his year's work than he expected: however I have at last finished my astronomy, brought up its history to last Saturday'. WW wants to see RJ and find out how his book is going: 'I will bring you some portion of my opus ['The History of the Inductive Sciences, from the Earliest to the Present Time', 3 vols., 1837], but it is grown so big that I can only convey a small specimen of it - a brick of the building'.
