Item 248 - William Whewell to Richard Jones

2 pp.

Trinity Lodge - What does RJ think of the 'sudden move of Peel's [Robert Peel]. It seems to me like the sinking of the Royal George[:] it was not in the battle'. WW would like RJ to help him find some account of the ecclesiastical constitution (the relation of Church and State) in all the kingdoms of Europe. I must modify that part of my Morality ['The Elements of Morality, Including Polity', 2 vols., 1845]'. WW thinks it likely that some of his suggestions from his book will be carried into effect soon ['Of a Liberal Education in General, and with Particular Reference to the Leading Studies of the University of Cambridge', 1845].
