Item 29 - Copy letter from Henry Sidgwick to Oscar Browning

After writing his letter the previous night [105/28] he began to think that he had better work out his own syllabus for Browning: encloses a rough sketch of it [included]. Adds that he still adheres to the view expressed in his letter that if Browning does not agree with Sidgwick he had better not try to make compromise with him, as he will have enough to do in compromising with Hammond 'and other historical lecturers.'

Typewritten copy of Sidgwick's 'syllabus' in relation to Browning's lectures in Political Science. Lays out in point form his suggested subject matter, beginning with 'Object and method of Political Science. Definition of State, Political Society, Government' and so on Other subjects include 'Development of the city-state in Greece.', 'The gradual formation of West-European nations.', 'Mediaeval representative institutions.', modern democracy and institutions. Concludes with 'Final comparison and classification of different forms of polity.'
