39 Plumpton Street, Liverpool.

General correspondence on research and publications, including collaborative paper (Bibliog. 72).

Inveran [?] Hotel, Invershin, Sutherlandshire, N[orth] B[ritain] [Scotland].

4 notebooks, including one titled "Notes on words"; lecture notes on ancient languages, and miscellaneous notes, all in Wright's hand. Accompanied by three letters from W. W. Skeat, one dated 11 Nov. 1872, with philological notes.

Appeals to those proposing to vote the following day 'against all consideration of the question of relaxing the requirement of two classical languages as a condition of the Cambridge Degree in Arts'. Maintains that their arguments render their 'summary refusal of inquiry peculiarly unjustifiable.'

Says that a certain section of his opponents who campaign for a refusal of inquiry into the matter base their arguments on the belief 'that it is impossible to impart literary culture without two ancient languages...and that the amount of knowledge of Latin and Greek now imposed by the Previous Examination secures on the average an adequate amount of literary culture. States that 'if the opposition to the Graces had been based on grounds such as these', he would have thought it 'narrow-minded and ill-judged', but 'should not have complained of the stage at which it was offered.'

Strongly objects however to the argument that if the suggested change were to be adopted, it would result in the extinction or abandonment of Greek. As a counter-argument he points out that 'the experienced headmasters - mostly classical scholars - who are foremost in advocating the change, consider such predictions groundless.' Suggests that there is a strong case for further inquiry into the matter, and that the opinions of schoolmasters on the subject 'might be obtained and laid before the University.'

States that 'the list of residents who have declared themselves in favour of the appointment of a Syndicate includes 18 of the University professors', and that to these may be added the name of Lord Rayleigh, formerly Professor of Experimental Physics. Adds that he has been authorised to state 'that Mr. Arthur Balfour has telegraphed from Dublin to a friend in Cambridge expressing his regret that he cannot be present to vote, as he is strongly in favour of the Grace.'

Offprint from "Notes and Queries", 10 Aug 1940: "A Translation of Aeneid V!., 724-751", George. G. Loane.
Another version of Loane's translation, in Loane's own hand, which differs in several places from the printed text; this is followed, with the heading '(Gilding for the pill?)'. by Loane's translation of "Anth[ologia] Pal[atina]" V.51

The White Gates. - Has been reading through the '1947 Xmas book' ["From the Shiffolds"]: thinks it a 'very fine collection'; names the poems he particularly likes. Adeline wants him to tell Bob 'how much she likes "Dandelions"'. Bob may have heard that their friend Raynor has been given a hundred pounds by the Musician's Benevolent Fund. They send love to Bessie.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Relieved all well about the measles; does not think it will spread and is glad the little girl [May Enticknap: see 46/174] is getting better. Would very much like to see Julian; expects he will soon be crawling. Mary goes home tomorrow; she has been very good, and much amused her grandfather, with whom she has long conversations. Sidney Lee stayed last night; the Ernest Trevelyans are coming from Oxford on Sunday. C[harles] and M[ary] cannot come till Sunday morning as it is 'the Ministerial ?Amusement'. She and Sir George will go up to town about the 22nd; she has a ticket for Elizabeth for the concert then. Sends her regards if Mrs Hubrecht [wife of Ambrosius Hubrecht?] is still there; had thought it was 'Mrs Jan' staying with Elizabeth. Glad her son's [Jan or Paul?] expedition is interesting. Hopes Mr Carter recovers soon. Sends love to Robert; hopes 'the musician with the striking name [Benvingut Socias i Mercadé, see 46/174] ' is pleasant. 'What praise of Strauss's new opera ["Elektra"]!'. A postscript saying she is glad 'Patterson succeeded'.

Field Ambulance, 4th London Mted Brigade - Draws Frazer's attention, as a member of the General Committee, to changes in the administration of the French Relief Fund.

19 Avenue du Progrès, Vanves (Seine) - Thanks him for 'The Worship of Nature' and admires it; accepts Frazer's proposal to translate the book into French.

Weybridge. - Has not yet gone to W[est] H[ackhurst] because of his mother's lumbago; would like Trevelyan to visit when he does go as he wants to hear about 'Gilgamesh et cie'. Thanks Trevelyan for invitations. Has 'laid in a stock of these p[ost] c[ards]'.

2 Brook Street - Thanks WW for sending him the preface to the 2nd edition of his Indications [Indications of the Creator, 2nd edn., 1846]. It effectively answers the argument of the Vestiges of Creation [Robert Chambers, Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, 1844] than do most long articles bestowed on this work: 'with all fitting veneration for Cambridge, I must say that we needed something from there to compensate for the lengthy inefficiency of one article, which bore an University name almost openly on its back'. It surprises HH 'that the argument from immiscibility of species; - and from the adaptation of separate several parts to each other, should have been so little dwelt upon in the various answers to this book'.
