To Joseph Benson Date: WYCOMBE, November 7, 1768. DEAR JOSEPH, You have now twenty more volumes of the Philosophical Transactions. Dr. Burton's Latin and Greek Poems you have in the study.At Kingswood School. Malebranche Included in the list of studies for fourth year. See History of Kingswood School, p. 66. and some other books are coming. Logic you cannot crack without a tutor: I must read it to Peter and you, if we live to meet. It would not be amiss if I had a catalogue of the books at Kingswood; then I should know the better what to buy. As fast as I can meet with them at sales, I shall procure what are yet wanting. But beware you be not swallowed up in books: an ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge. I am, dear Joseph, Your affectionate brother.
