TO LEWIS CAMPBELL, Esq.

                                                                      Trin. Coll., 3d Dec. 1853.

 . . . We have the usual amount of discussion here on labour parliaments, multiplicity of votes, Eternity and Maurice   and Jelf, or the contest between those who think that there is a real depth to which thought must go, though words   cannot well follow it, and those who maintain that that which is not obvious to a man of sense, cannot be really   connected with a religion which is not confined to deep thinkers, but professes to afford the highest principles to  the simple. That is what most men discuss. Maurice has settled it for himself, believing that the things of which he

treats do actually form the necessary thoughts of all men whether learned or no.
