I
go to Gregory to Chemistry at 10, Morale
Phil. at 12, and
Pract. Chem. at 13, finishing at 14, unless perhaps
I take
an hour at Practical Mechanics at the School of Arts. I do not go to
Sir
W. H. logic, seeing I was there before.
Langhorne has
got your Buchananic notes. Why do you think that I can endure nothing
but
Mathematics and Logic, the only things I have plenty of? and why do you
presuppose my acquaintance with your
preceptors,
professors,
tutor, etc. ? . . .
I don't
wonder at your failing
to take interest
in the exponential
theorems, seeing I dislike it, although I know the
use and
meaning of it. But I never would have, unless Kelland had explained it.
. . .
In your next letter you may give an
abstract of
Aristotle's Rhet., for
I do not attend Aytoun, and so I know not what
Rhet. is. I
know Logic only by Reid's account of it. I will tell you about Wilson's
Moral Philosophy, provided always you want to know, and
signify
your
desire.
