had been the subject of our discourse; we exemplified some a
few positions by some knick-knacks yt I happened to have by
me: and project after project was engender'd - in the fermentation
of promiscuous enquiry.

With all that calmness of his temper, which you have sometimes
seemed to look upon as exclusive of active propensities he has an
ambition which is not the less real, for not manifesting itself
in ye impetuosities of a hostile selfishness — he looks forward
with an eye of desire to the future improvement of the
scientific part of his profession, as a road to fame as
well as fortune uninfested by competition; and leading by a
necessity which he thinks happy through the avenue of
public utility. he now looks back with a disdain which
it would answer no end to discourage now the object of it
is fairly abandon'd upon the course which he considers himself
as having escaped - All this and more I learnt by
neither appearing to him to act a part nor doing so.

As you appeared to entertain some doubt at first about
the expediency of his immediate attendance on Mr
Cowley; he looks upon your permission as a sort of
conquest: & if I might take the liberty to advise
it may be as well not to undeceive him at first by any
