Item 77 - Letter from F. Pollock to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Explains that a 'warning note from Maitland had in some measure prepared [them] for the sad news' of Henry Sidgwick's death. He and those who knew Henry 'lose not only a teacher and thinker but a man who did something better and rarer than founding a school or propagating his own opinions.' Never knew anyone who had the same power of leading others to bring out and develop whatever was best of their own; their gain 'is not measured by published words, nor [their] loss by the definable sum of what remains unfinished.'
