Comments and gives criticisms on Sidgwick's Outlines [of the History of Ethics]. Points out some misprints. In relation to form, refers to one sentence, which he cannot understand, and wishes to have clarified. Takes Sidgwick to task in relation to 'statements of fact and opinion, with reference to the persecution of Christian, heathens, heretics and Arians; St Bonaventure's teachings; the Reformation and Luther and Calvin, and the latter's teachings on sexual matters. Refers to Luther's decision as to Philippe of Hesse's polygamy and his Sermon on [the Estate of Marriage. States that he is 'glad to find how largely so careful and first hand a student of that period as James G[ ] has emancipated himself from the Reformation legend.' Looks forward to a careful study of Sidgwick's Methods of Ethics. Praises Sidgwick, and discusses the value of criticism.
