GHL Journal, London, 8 May 1862
MS: Yale. Hitherto unpublished.
Thursday 8th.
Read Pliny. Continued my Aristotle. In the afternoon George Smith called with a final proposal about the "Cornhill" which I accepted, namely, that I am to act as his chief Literary Adviser in the selection of articles, and suggestion of subjects, he bringing them to me and I only taking such responsibility as is implied in my judgement. Salary £600 per annum. This is very handsome, as the work promises to be light, and not disagreeable. In the evening read some proofs he sent up, and one m.s. Then read "Orley Farm" and Scaliger "contra Cardanum." 57
