alls. God bless you.

_Wednesday._--_Vivat Mueller!_ I am just writing my congratulations to
Bernays. _Vivat Dean!_

Pauli's book appears in English without his doing anything to it.

You may recommend in Oxford, even to the most refined ladies and most
Christian evangelicals, "Spiritual Words" from Goethe, by Lancizolle, 120
pages, 12mo (3_s_. beautifully bound). That is a German Bible.

You know Wackernagel's "Anthology"? It is useful, but gives too much of
second rate. I will make my daughters copy out Arndt's German song for his
eighty-third birthday for you. Adieu.

_Saturday, March 13, 1852._

What in all the world is this undertaking to which Vaux asks my aid, the
new edition of Herbelot's "Bibliotheque Orientale"? It might be made a
good work, although I hate the form, but _everything depends on the
management_. It is otherwise a mere bookseller's speculation or Jesuit's
trick. I have answered provisionally that in case biblical literature is
to be taken up (which is highly necessary), Ewald, Freytag, Bernays,
Roediger, Hengstenberg, and Bernstein should be summoned to help. I don't
quite trust the thing; but if it is possible to introduce the people to
good ideas, I am ready to aid.

When are you coming? I have sent the last MS. to-day to the press, or
rather to the translator. I have only now reached the point on which I can
really speak in a practical tone. Volume III. will contain 600 pages.

LONDON, _November 13, 1852._

Though late, I send you my hearty greetings on your return to England. I
heard from Wilson that you were well, and that you had left your mother
well for the winter.

Hippolytus lies here _ready_ for you, on purpose that you may fetch it. I
hope you will do so on the 18th, for which you have already received the
invitation. You will find Morier also here. Is not that furious and
ridiculous article in the "Morning Chronicle" on the second volume (the
first article, as yet without a continuation) by the same man (of Jesus
College?) on whose article in the "Ecclesiastic" on Hippolytus' book I
have thrown some degree of light? The leading thought is exactly the same
in both; the account of Calixtus' knavery is interpolated (by Novatianus),
says the writer in the "Chronicle." This is a proof that nothing can be
said against my argument requiring a serious answer. Gladstone felt
ashamed of the review. It has helped the book; but it would be read even
witho
