Scope and content

Refers to the note on Sidgwick's article A Lecture against Lecturing in the June 1890 number of the New Review, as misinterpreting the drift of the article. Explains that his arguments applied to any expository lectures in which the lecturer's function 'is merely to impart instruction by reading or saying a series of words that might be written or printed.' States that they apply to ordinary professional lectures 'in such subjects as classics mathematics and history, no less than to lectures on philosophy'; 'to the great majority of professional lectures delivered in Oxford and Cambridge or in the universities of Germany.' With emendations and amendments. Incomplete.
