Item 267 - William Whewell to Richard Jones

4 pp.

Trinity Lodge - WW has sent RJ 'a little book about the things which are great to us little men here at Cambridge ['Of a Liberal Education in General...3. The Revised Statutes 1851-1852']. The 'revision of the fundamental statutes of a historical body like the University is at all times a grave matter. But this is made more so by the radical party trying to use the occasion so as to subvert the whole constitution of the University'. A reward for RJ's work on the Tithe Commission must be a question for parliament. WW will send RJ a copy of his examination papers.
