‘_January 27, 1892._
‘ ... The Bishop of Gloucester was here to-day, and began
talking about your Goethe, which he praised; he is a good
judge. I thought you would like to know. Would you send him the
book, and say I have asked you; he will tell people about it.
He reads philosophy too, and specially advises _Lotze_.’
To the same:—
‘Written from SUDELEY CASTLE, (probably) _December 1893_.
‘I fetched your Magazine from the Post Office about five
o’clock, and I have just read it through. I must express to you
how delighted I am with it. It is so clear, so well written, it
gets to the centre of things. I have seen nothing you have done
at all to compare with it. I must get the number. I think I
shall take in the Magazine, it looks good throughout. A friend
takes the philosophical review and lends it to me. I might
take this and lend it to her. I have a paper in hand against
an article in that, but I fear I shall not be able to polish
it off. You must have had days, _weeks_, of quiet thought to
write this. This makes me want you still more to go to Oxford,
and get to know Caird. Did I tell you I lunched with Jowett
_tête-à-tête_ not long before his death?
‘You must come and see me if I can’t come to you....’
‘PS.—If you lend it to other friends, ascertain about the
postage.’
To the same:—
‘_November 1895._
‘ ... I am sending you a little book on _Psychology_ by a young
teacher and writer. I wish she had shown me the MS. or the
proof. If you feel inclined to look at it, and give her a few
written criticisms I should be glad. We want so much common
language in all these subjects, words are used so differently;
_e.g._ “conception” is not generally used as she does.
Intuition is another which we must fix the meaning of, for
each book one reads. _Real_, _reason_, etc., want defining. A
dictionary of philosophical terms should be made by some people
authorised to establish an Eirenicon.’
To the same:—
‘_? 1896._
‘No; I am sure you _ought not_ to give anything. I am sorry
even that the notice was sent you. Perhaps, however, you may
know some one or ones who may have money that they want to put
out in some way for the Master’s service, and might think this
a right way. We shall not get on if the Guild has to produce
funds unasked. I don’t want _any one_ to be asked, but they
might be shown a paper.’
To the same:—
‘_January 1897._
