Apologises for not writing to Sidgwick sooner, and explains that the delay was due to absence from home and illness. Reports that he has gone over the article in Encyclopaedia Britannica, and gives a brief summary of suggested alterations, including development of the introductory chapter; division of the treatise into chapters and sections, with headings, brief summaries and tales, and with regard to Professor Bain's summaries in his Mental and Moral Science; names of subjects, 'even a brief analysis of the outstanding works - such as Plato's Ethical Dialogues, Aristotle's Ethics...'; a fuller treatment of Reid and Stewart, and 'Scotch philosophers generally', as well as more space dedicated to the French influence, and mention of more modern tendencies, such as Pessimism. Reports that Sidgwick's book [as a text-book] has been announced in the April issue of the Mission Record. Expresses an interest in seeing the proof sheets.

Transcript

31st. October, 1916.

Dear Mr. Malleson,

Yes alas—when I sent round next morning after writing my letter to you to purchase copies of your Plays to send away to my friends, my messenger was told that it was too late, {1} that the Authorities had descended upon the publisher and seized every copy. I agree with you that there is something very menacing indeed in the fact that even {2} the work of an artist is subject to suppression. I think it is one of the most serious dangers with which any Community could be confronted. I see that a question is to be asked in Parliament to-day. I am of course extremely sorry that I did not read the Play at once and secure additional copies. I congratulate you again on having written them. The very fact that they have been suppressed is in itself an evidence of the power that is in them to kindle the imagination.

You won’t forget your promise to write to me in a day or two to fix an afternoon when you could look in and see me, or ring me up over the telephone.

Yours with all good wishes,
[blank]

Miles Malleson Esq.,
“The Attic”,
43, Bernard Street,
Russell Sqre. W.C.
