NEW2 April 1868 to 31 December 1876There is a nine week gap between the end of the ninth journal, ending in January 1868, and the beginning of this the tenth. Dodgson did not record what happened in February and March 1868. Presumably he was busy with lecturing matters and nothing of significance occurred to him that he felt necessary to record. However, one publication appeared during this time, The Offer of the Clarendon Trustees, which was dated 6 February 1868. This parodied a published letter written by Professor Robert B. Clifton (1836-1921) seeking the building of a new science laboratory at Oxford. Dodgson suggested that a new university building could similarly be built for the study of mathematics but the tone of his letter was humorous and satirical (see Oxford Pamphlets, pp. 54-56). Eventually, Clifton designed and organised the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford.The tenth journal. Seller Inventory # 272/LCS/885H 10 158
