Scope and content

Refers to Sidgwick's intention to writing a piece for Mind 'on a subject inclining to the sociological'. Asks if he would be willing to write a short notice of Gizycki's Moralphilosophie for the April issue. Also asks him for his impressions on his [Robertson's] notice of E. Gurney. Reports that he has promised L. Stephen to write Gurney's biographical notice for the National Dictionary [Dictionary of National Biography], and that the latter's friend, N[orman?] Grosvenor, is to come to him to give further information on his musical development. Reports that Gurney's elder brother [Rev. Frederick Gurney?] has taken exception to his having connected Gurney's physical breakdown 'with the ardour of his psychical research.' States his intention of writing to the brother 'to learn from him directly what is on his mind.'
