Scope and content

Writes that John [Symonds?] has sent him Sidgwick's name for two copies of his new book [Journal of a Landscape Painter in Corsica]. Asks him to let him know if he should send them to him at Trinity College. Also asks him to do what he can 'to cause other victims to sacrifice themselves at the Altar of Corsican topography'. Would be grateful for any additions to his list, 'which will be kept open till the book is out, about 1st of December.'
