Cliff Cottage, Lowestoft - WW and Cordelia Whewell are settled in their new house [Cliff Cottage]. WW is now printing a second edition of his History ['The History of the Inductive Sciences, from the Earliest to the Present Time', 3 vls., 1837]. He has 'come to the conviction that to alter a book very much in the second edition, spoils it. You may avoid some error, but you lose the vitality and meaning of the work'. Who is going to put out the fire Robert Peel started in the House of Commons?
