Trinity Lodge - WW is pleased RJ liked his analysis of his book [see WW to RJ, 5 August 1845: RJ, 'Lectures on the Political Economy of Nations', 1845?]. WW is writing a reply to Lyell's Travels [Charles Lyell, 'Travels in North America', 2 vols., 1845] in which he attacks 'me for my defence of our college system: the fact being, that his head is turned by his success in lecturing in America. One might have supposed that his recollections of his experience in King's College would have shown him that lecturing may go with very little teaching, even in the best hands; but this he appears to have quite forgotten'. Could RJ look at WW's reply and say whether he thinks it too fierce ['Of a Liberal Education in General, and with Particular Reference to the Leading Studies of the University of Cambirdge', 1845].
