Scope and content
Pembroke College, Cambridge. Dated May 23, 1901 - Weil [recte R. A. Neil] sent on Frazer's question; while he does not do comparative grammar, he thinks the derivation of Naman from Ameretat is wrong; went to see [Anthony Ashley] Bevan and he referred him to the 'Encyclopaedia Biblica' that says Naman is Numman; distrusts [H.] Winckler, and thinks [F. C.] Andreas 'is capable of turning out a bad book in the realm of later Persian history'; suggests he try Prof. Cowell.
