Item 58 - Letter from F.W. Maitland to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Declares that 22 October will suit him to give a lecture, whose subject is 'Moral Personality and Legal Personality'. Adds that the title 'Corporation Theory' might be more suitable in relation to its subject matter. Is very grateful to her 'for a sight of Leslie Stephen's letters' to Henry Sidgwick, and hopes that she will allow him to keep them for a week or two. Refers to the letter in which a reply is made to the review of The Science of Ethics. Reports that Stephen often regretted not being better acquainted with Henry, due to his shyness, and that in 1900 'he entered in a sort of chronicle of events "Henry Sidgwick, one of my best and oldest friends, taken ill"'.
