have said, the controversy was without much significance. The
"views" of Dr. Harris and the rest of the council were already
condemned. Here are some letters, not before printed, from Maurice
and Kingsley on the case. The closing paragraph of Maurice's letter
is remarkable because in about a twelvemonth he himself was expelled
from King's College.


"MY DEAR SIR,

"I beg to thank you for your very able and interesting pamphlet. I
know one of the expelled students, and have every reason to think
highly of his earnestness and truthfulness.

"I feel a delicacy in pronouncing any judgement upon the conduct of
the Heads of the College, as I belong to another, and I might seem
to be biased by feelings of Sectarianism and of rivalship. But
there are many of your thoughts by which we may all equally profit,
and which I hope to lay to heart in case I should be brought into
circumstances like those of the judges or of the criminals.

"Faithfully yrs,
F. D. MAURICE.
July 27, 1852.
