WW is contemplating a visit to see RJ: 'your reappointment cannot be looked upon in any other way than as a very bad symptom of the prospect of your college'. In particular the 'refusal to reappoint for a year'. WW has been working hard at his book ['The History of the Inductive Sciences, from the Earliest to the Present Time', 3 vols., 1837]: 'I draw to an end and still think that the plan is solid and consistent and the execution of every part respectable. I cannot but think the scheme both of the whole and of the separate divisions is novel and striking'.
