Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Whewell, D.D, Vol. 1: Master of Trinity College, Cambridge; An Account of His Writings With Selections From His Literary and Scientific Correspondence The late Dr Whewell died on March 6th, 1866. He had appointed as executors of his will two Fellows of Trinity College, Mr Mathison, then Senior Tutor, and Mr J. L. Hammond, then Senior Bursar of the College; but no person was specially charged with the duty of attending to the literary and scientific correspondence and manuscripts. It was at one time supposed that Mr Mathison would have examined these papers with a view to the publication of some of them; but he left college for the living of Dickleburgh in Norfolk, in 1868, and died on October 11th, 1870. Some attempts were made to obtain an editor, who would arrange the materials and write a biography of Dr Whewell, but without success. In the course of these attempts application was made to two distinguished members of Trinity College; but want of sufficient leisure in one case, and failing health in the other, constituted insuperable obstacles. In October, 1872, I was requested to undertake the work by Dr Whewell´s nearest surviving relative, through the Bishop of Carlisle, and I accepted the honourable though difficult task. The correspondence and literary remains were to be placed at my disposal, and a short memoir of Dr Whewell´s life was to be drawn up by a member of his family. It was afterwards suggested that a part of the work should be devoted to the College and University career of Dr Whewell.
