Scope and content
States that he would be grateful if Sidgwick would 'modify the note on p. 141' of his book when it comes to a second edition. The note concerns Spencer's views on land tenure. Refers to a controversy in the Times dating back to November 1889, in which he had advocated that expropriation of the existing landowners be accompanied by adequate compensation, and concluded that the existing system should continue. States that his present view is more fully expressed 'in Chapters xi and xii and Appendix B' of his recently published book Justice. Remarks that he would have sent Sidgwick a copy of the latter, if it had not come so soon after the offer of his concerning Mind.
