| Title | Letter from W [William] Whewell, T L [Trinity Lodge, Cambridge], to [Sir John Frederick William] Herschel |
| Creator | Whewell; William (1794-1866); British mathematician |
| Date | 17 March 1864 |
| Description | Whewell likes Herschel's 'Diomedeira' very much. He has marked a few lines on the succeeding page with corrections, but the faults are nothing, since the versification and phraseology are excellent thoughout. It has been a delight for Whewell to have Herschel's children with him. With line by line suggestions on Book 5 of Herschel's translation of 'The Iliad'. |
