Re Edward Lear's painting of the Plain of Argos [presented by subscribers to Trinity, 1887].

Concerning his brother Edmund Law Lushington's library of Egyptology, now offered to the Library. Does not have any letters from Spedding, and does not think there are any in his brother's library either.

Having returned from a Wellington College meeting, he finds that he has so much to do that he is unable to attend Mr Freshfield's lecture, but it was kind of Nora to have given him the opportunity. Remarks that since Henry won the Craven Scholarship in 1857 'no Rugby man has gained that particular distinction till [his] nephew Ralph' a few days previously. Declares that he believes that no Rugbeian since 1857 or earlier has won 'the Battie, the Browne, the Pitt, or the Waddington', and that in 1858 C.H. Tawney won the Davies scholarship, 'as Franklin Lushington had done in 1845'. Adds that Arthur Sidgwick won the Porson Scholarship/Prize in 1861. States that in 1856 the Bell Scholarship for sons of clergymen went to A. Holmes, Henry Sidgwick, J.M. Wilson, and in 1860 to Arthur Sidgwick, and that in 1858 Henry won the Browne Medal for a Greek epigram. Adds that the Browne Medal for the Greek ode was won by Arthur Sidgwick in 1861 and 1862.
