Refers to Patterson's letter of 20 June 1885, which he has 'grossly neglected'. Admits to not knowing of any good essays or books of at all a scientific kind, in English, on methods of history and different schools of [historiography].' Suggest a series of essays written by Seeley a year or two previously in Macmillan's Magazine on the method of writing history. States also that there were four articles in some of the months of 1879, and 'a sort of a[ ] in the Contemporary [Review] for June'.
