Letter of acceptance for the 1905 Apostles' dinner.

25 Brook Street - Thanks WW for his commentary on Hegel's criticism [On Hegel's Criticism of Newton's Principia, 1849]: 'The temporary fame of Hegel's teaching required perhaps this castigation at the time; especially on a point of this nature; otherwise I doubt not that a short time would obliviate all his accounts upon the Principia'.

Notebook used by Wittgenstein while in Vienna for Christmas 1929 and later as a continuation of MS - 107 [ONB, Vienna]

29 Convent Ave, New York, N.Y., U.S.A. Dated Feb. 25, 1916 - Forwards a review [of 'The Golden Bough'], written for the 'Psychoanalytic Review' [not transcribed] and thanks him for the part his book played in freeing her from a struggle with a neurosis.

WW sends his review article of RJ's book on rent ['Review of An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth and Sources of Taxation by the Revd Richard Jones', The British Critic, Quarterly Theological Review and Ecclesiastical Record, 10, 1831]: 'I do not like it as I told you but I hope you will not think much tinkering needful for it will be very troublesome and I do not feel half myself while that thief Lockhart has got my other altruism in his power'.

Reports that he is still in Cambridge, 'tolerably well and taking great care of [his] health...' Expects the following term to be difficult. Refers to how he spends his days. Announces that he intends to stay there until the beginning of term, 'to see the last of [his] fellowship'. States that his position in the College 'in respect of rooms etc is still quite undetermined.' Refers to the candidates for fellowship. Announces that he expects 'a mild Hindoo', who is a pupil of Tawney's and a disappointed candidate for the Indian Civil Service, to come and see him on the following Friday. Reports that when he returned to Cambridge he discovered that one of the senior fellows at Trinity was in a lunatic asylum, and asks her to report this news to Arthur. Is pleased by the appointment of Seeley as the new professor of history, as the subject is 'at a very low ebb in Cambridge, and he is just the man to inspire an enthusiasm for it'; also always thought it a 'great loss to us' when Seeley went down. Asks after William.

Argues that the grounds on which opposition to the appointment of a Syndicate to consider Degrees in Science are based 'are in each case untenable.' States that the Master of Downing [Alexander Hill] and three other resident members of the Senate base their opposition 'on a narrow interpretation of the term "Science", which they understand to mean "Natural Science" only to the exclusion of Mathematics.' Claims that this is an 'unwarranted interpretation'.

Refers also to the assertion by the Master of Clare [Edward Atkinson] and eleven other resident members of the Senate that the matter in hand raises again the issue decided in the previous October. Refers to five of these eleven men - Swete, Mayor, Mollison, Neil and Bateson - who also signed the circular issued at that time by the Committee formed to oppose the proposal to remove the obligation to study both classical languages as a prerequisite for sitting the Previous Examination. Argues that the matter decided at that time was relevant to Degrees in Arts only. Adds that Professor Browne, who signed the above-mentioned circular, authorises Sidgwick to state that he always understood that the question of Degrees in Science was left open. Concludes that it is 'unreasonable to contend that the issue now raised is one on which the opinion of the Senate has been already given.'

Includes letters from Maria (Felix's wife)

General correspondence, on articles and reviews by Frisch submitted for publication in the journal, his comments on papers by others, suggestions for articles or authors to be approached, etc.

Gladly accepts Sidgwick's invitation for Wednesday the 13th. Informs him that his dealings with [John?] Austin are 'very delightful' to him, because Sidgwick 'will deprive him of his terror.' Refers to an accompanying extract, which poses questions on the definition of legal rights [included, 108/2]. Discusses a scenario where a father (having means) omits to supply a young child with food to the damage of the child's health, and asks whether the child has a right. Also refers to the Statute of Limitations in relation to creditors and debtors. Concludes by saying that he is 'trying to avoid 'right' as much as possible and to speak always of duty.'

Typewritten extract [108/1]. Begins with a quote from Lord Chief Justice Holt, and asks if the statement is either true or a truism. Three statements are given that involve rights and remedies: the first involves a wealthy father who omits to supply a young child with sufficient food, and as a consequence the child falls ill; the question is asked whether any right has been infringed; the second states that the Statute of Limitations is sometimes said not to take away the creditor's right, but merely bars his remedy; the third quotes the maxim 'There is no right without a remedy', and asks whether it has been applied in English courts.
