2 Brook Street - Thanks WW for a copy of his work on English University education: 'The whole argument is strong, or I would say convincing - greatly needed, moreover, at this particular time, where we are surrounded by such novelties in speculation'. For instance HH's 'old acquaintance Hamilton [William Hamilton] (the Ed. Review) who even as a boy of 18 was besotted by the same spirit of vague and verbose speculations, which still governs his understanding'. HH's and WW's mutual friend Hallam [Henry Hallam] has lost his eldest daughter.

Crowfield, Dymock, Glos. - Will be at Dymock for a month or two, hoping to do some work. He approves the "Annual" [a follow-up to Trevelyan's publication of 1917?] though Marsh is bringing out a "G.P." ["Georgian Poetry"] at Christmas and they might clash. He himself wants to publish in book form in the autumn; "Empedocles" would do well for the "Annual", though it is not yet finished. Delighted to hear Trevelyan is in England; he should stay if he can. Saw Trevelyan's brother George the other day. A postscript says that the two books ought not to clash if Trevelyan takes care.

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Agrees with Robert's view of Euripides, although he reads so much of him; discusses Macaulay's view of the "Iphigenia in Tauris". Has just finished [Aristophanes's] "Batrachoi" ["The Frogs"] with 'intense delight'. Has finished the 'American part' of his book [a volume of "The American Revolution"] and has one concluding chapter left to write. Will send Bessy a hare if he can get one. Would like to make [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson a 'Special Commissioner of Road Traffic'].

The Well Farm, Warlingham, Surrey - Congratulates Frazer.

Brandon Street, Edinburgh - Is concerned to hear about Sir James' eyes; they will subscribe to five copies of the bibliography; they made an error sending revised proofs of 'Fear of the Dead' accompanied by the corrected slips, communicated this to Macmillan to put it right; Macmillan was not to blame.

Revue de l'histoire des religions, Direction, 28 rue Bonaparte, Paris - Is pleased they can come to the Société Ernest Renan meeting, and will be happy to publish his remarks in the Revue and the Bulletin.

Downside Abbey, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, near Bath.—Asks him to borrow two articles by [Morris W.] Croll from the [Cambridge] University Library. Encloses particulars of a vacancy. Has just met Passarin d’Entrèves, the new Professor of Italian Studies at Oxford. There seem to be a number of Catholic dons there concerned with that subject now. Asks who got the chair at Cambridge.

Dunford House. - He and his wife send a 'thousand thanks' for the 'delightful Christmas card' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]: Trevelyan and Gilbert Murray are 'transubstantiating Menander', whom he only knew before through 'his dimidiated Terence'.
