"13. Yesterday Mr. Clark of Cambridge came to see us, and told of his intention to give up his oratorship and renounce his connexion with the Church. I have read rapidly through Max Muller's History of Sanskrit Literature and am now reading Lecky's History of Morals. I have also finished H. Spencer's last number of his Psychology. My head has been sadly feeble and my whole body ailing of late. I have written about 100 verses of my poem. Poor Thornie seems to us in a state of growing weakness." Diary 1861-1877 138-139
