WW sends RJ a package from John Herschel: 'You will be pleased to see his unfailing affection for the Inductive Philosophy, and I hope it will put you in mind that you, as well as he and I, are bound by our early principles to go on working in our respected ways at our departments of sound speculative science'. RJ should not waste all his time on legislation and politics - 'So get your little Pamphlet finished as fast as you can and then take to general views again' ['Remarks on the Government Bill for the Commutation of Tithe', 1836]. |
