Item 90 - William Whewell to Richard Jones

3 pp.

Trinity College - WW thinks RJ's preface is excellent and has given it to the printers ['An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth, and on the Sources of Taxation: Part 1. - Rent', 1831]. As to the latter pages WW advises RJ to 'remodel the last two pages (no more) or omit them'. He thinks 'the account of your part of the country is as bad as it can be among people pretending to an established order of society...However never despair - we will live through the storm and teach the world wise things when the winds have lulled again'.
