Portée et contenu

Writes from Japan on behalf of Professor [R.] Nakashima who was in charge of the production of a Japanese translation of Sidgwick's Methods of Ethics. Nakashima would like Sidgwick to write 'a few lines of friendly Introduction', as well as to include a photograph of the author. Reports that the Japanese professor recalls meeting Sidgwick at Cambridge in 1890. Foxwell discusses the difficulties that he would have expected to have arisen in the translation of the work into Japanese. Expresses the wish that 'some Cabinet Minister' would visit Japan to 'see how the contrast of the Russian decision with English indecision does not improve the prestige of the latter nation.' Hopes that Sidgwick and Mrs Sidgwick are in good health. Makes reference to a Japanese girl at Newnham 'who must at times feel horribly lonely.'
