Scope and content
Hastings - WW wants to know what RJ thought of his notes on his lectures [see WW to RJ, 18 July 1845: RJ, 'Lectures on the Political Economy of Nations', 1845?]. WW's Morality ['The Elements of Morality, Including Polity', 2 vols., 1845] has been adversely reviewed in the Athenaeum and the Spectator: 'I was not quite prepared for the amount of unfairness, and the evidence that neither critic had read the book so as to justify of it in any connected manner'. WW and Cordelia Whewell hoped to see the Herschels [John Herschel and family] but they have scarlet fever in the house.
