Scope and content

Trinity College - WW is frustrated that the manuscripts to RJ's book has not yet come: 'I do expect that I shall be in possession of your material by that time [a meeting of the syndics in a fortnight]'. The members of the syndicate need the manuscript for two weeks 'to give their opinion of it'. The friends of Pryme [George Pryme] 'are going to propose that the university should make him Professor of the science [Political Economy]. I do not think it will do the science any good for he is, as a lecturer, dull and unpopular and will never be otherwise'. It has been settled that the Professorship ends with the holder.
