Scope and content

Praises Sidgwick as a correspondent. Thanks him for the [Tripos Verses in a letter of Jan. 1859], which are, in Bowen's opinion, 'quite up to the mark and as classical as Trevelyan's'. Asks for 'certain stanzas in [ ] metre, and asks for news of 'what will be going on in whose rooms Saturday week.' Announces intention of coming up 'some Sunday'. Mentions 'an essay of [Lowell's], and asks when the dinner is. Espresses desire that 'all three' of them are going from Harrow this time. Mentions having enjoyed young [ ]'s visit, and that he saw a couple more Cambridge [fellows] on Saturday - Northing and Barclay. Expresses wish to invite Synge sometime. The latter is to be married two weeks hence. Mentions having received 'an amusing letter' from Willmot. Swears that he did not say a word to Vaughan, or to anybody who could have mentioned it to him, about HS having 'shut him up so by [his] overpowering aspect of intellectual exaltation the day [they] met him'. Mentions the 'Bertrams', and the fact that he is 'doing the Philosophy of Induction', about which he is somewhat disappointed. Exhorts HS to buy and read Fremde's essay on The book of Job in 'Chapman's Library for the people'.
