    Notes that 'our friend Jenkins' [the stock figure of the newspaper lackey] of the Morning Post has reprimanded William Whewell 'for having written (according to Jenkins) that a promise of marriage may be fulfilled in an immoral manner'—'when the feelings that induced the formation of the engagement have ceased'. Notes that Whewell's remarks were 'evidently calculated to outrage Servants' Hall'.
