I propose this morning:

(1) to enquire into the reasons for this, so far as I can guess

and interpret them;

(2) to deal with such reasons as we can discover or surmise;

(3) to suggest to-day, some simple first aid: and in another

lecture, taking for experiment a single book from the Authorised

Version, some practical ways of including it in the ambit of our

new English Tripos. This will compel me to be definite: and as

definite proposals invite definite objections, by this method we

are likeliest to know where we are, and if the reform we seek be

realisable or illusory.
