内容説明

William Whewell was born in Lancaster in 1794,and educated at Lancaster Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1816. He became a fellow of Trinity in 1817, and a tutor in 1823, earning his living as a private tutor and developing a reputation as a formidable polymath. This is a collection of William Whewell's correspondence. The letters themselves fall into two categories. There are letters to family and friends, which paint a rather more attractive portrait of Whewell than that of the stiff and domineering Master of Trinity and there are letters dealing with college and university business, including such topics as the autonomy of Catholics and dissenters. On such controversial issues, Whewell generally held conservative views, but showed his open-mindedness by protesting forcefully at attempts to expel his colleague Thirlwall for advocating reforms.
