Item 226 - Postcard from Henry Sidgwick to F. W. H. Myers

1 doc

Discusses the candidates for the [Knightbridge] Professorship of Moral Philosophy: himself, Venn and Stirling, stating that the latter is his choice over Venn. Considers the advantages of his not standing, in order to improve Stirling's chances of obtaining the post. Asks if Myers told him 'to address Windsor Castle', and asks him to pardon his negligence. [Note in Myers' hand explains that the reference to Windsor Castle relates to the fact that Myers had written to Sidgwick from there 'on the paper belonging to the place'].
