Informed that it was someone at Oxford, and not [James Henry] Monk [(1784-1856), Cambridge regius professor of Greek], who wrote the critical article on Smith in the "Quarterly Review", but fears Monk's party against Smith is increasing [in his campaign for botany professorship]. [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert indignant that the Linnean Dining Club continues to be held at the inferior British Coffee House.
