WW finds RJ's word admirable [another word - I think - for Richard Whatley's term 'catallactics', see WW to RJ, 20 January 1833]: 'Except you could make more of the ridicule of Whatley turn upon the ugliness of the word Calallactics' ['Review of Whatley'?]. RJ should reduce his 3 glasses of wine to 2. WW has enclosed an unpublished sonnet by 'Hamilton [William Rowan Hamilton] the Dublin astronomer about which I want your advice. It takes my fancy extremely...I should like to print it at the beginning of my Bridgwater book ['Astronomy and General Physics Considered with Reference to Natural Theology', 1833]...In doing so I should say in the preface that the statements in one of my chapters concerning the tendency of mathematics to lead men's minds from religious views must be held to apply to some cause only, as was clear by such an example as the author of these lines, one of the first analysts of the age. This would be no more than justice, for he is a superb analyst and a noble fellow'. What does RJ think?
