The Economic Situation of Austria: report presented to the Council of the League of Nations by Walter Layton and Charles Rist.

Trin. Coll., Dublin - Thanks WW for his favourable letter concerning his Lectures on the Logical Method of Political Economy. The method of political economy is both inductive and deductive. The basis of deduction is both knowledge of principal motives actuating mankind in pursuit of wealth, and the principal conditions on which the results of industry depend. These represent general tendencies which indicate the direction inductive investigations should take: begin with a collection of actual cases and compare generalised results with a priori deductions. This way - as in the physical sciences - one should arrive at residual phenomena and be led to new principles. Hopes WW approves. He has not seen the work by Richard Jones which he refers to.

(The note relates to the phrase ‘Let the galled jade wince’ (Hamlet, III. ii. 231-2). It was probably sent to Aldis Wright when he was working on the Clarendon Press edition of the play, published in 1872. The edition of Wyclif cited is that of 1871, and the note is written on part of a draft of Skeat’s edition of Joseph of Arimathie, published the same year (cf. p. 70).)

From E.M. April 5th, 1975.

Thanks for yours of the 3rd, and for clearing up the Housman family mystery; I had no idea there was another daughter, {1} as RR {2} never mentioned her, but only Clemence, who lived with LH {3} at Street.

I don’t know whether Gilbert Turner is back from France yet, but am writing him this weekend to send the letters to you, and I am sure he will. You will then have to cope with his awful address to thank him!

Yours sincerely,
Ethel Mannin

Postmarked ‘NEWTON ABBOT | 6 APR | 1975’. Typed, except the signature and a few corrections.

{1} The reference is to Katharine Symons, née Housman.

{2} Reginald Reynolds, Ethel Mannin’s second husband.

{3} Laurence Housman.

(With a blank sheet. The list in fact includes only one entry.)

Letters date from 21 Jul. 1817 to 17 Feb 1818; each is assigned a number, from 2nd to 19th. Written to his mother, brother Edward, father, and sisters Charlotte and Mary. They cover his journey from 'the Dutch barge from Bruges to Ghent' to Naples, via Germany and Switzerland.

Unclear when transcripts were made, but volume appears to date from 19th cent. Pencil notes on the back of the flyleaf and first (unnumbered) page by May Elliott, wife of Frank Dumbell Elliott (grandson of Henry Venn Elliott), record context, point to some letters of interests, and note that 'His letters from the Holy Land etc have been given to salvage in the big salvage drive for the country in Nov. 1941. These others are more interesting & maybe of some further interest still, in a world where so much has been destroyed. Nov. 16 1941'.

A thread around the spine shows where, at p. 171 a letter from Hon. C[harles] Shore, Naples, Jan. 2 1818, once was; this is no longer present. It is mentioned in a contemporary note on the back of the front flyleaf; there are also a couple more original index items on the first, unnumbered, page.

5–X–1911.

Dear Mr McKerrow,

Messrs Sidgwick and Jackson sent me last night copies of your Greenes Newes and Weever’s Epigrams, and I thank you for them. I’ve been hunting about to find a repetition, with additions, of that story re Margery and her mother, told in Greenes Newes, p. 35, ll. 8–19, but have lost the trail for the moment, although it is not long since I read it. But it will come to me some time, and may prove to be of some use. I have an idea now it is to be found in “Apophthegms deliv-ered at severall times and upon severall occasions by K. James, King Charles, the Marquess of Worcester, Francis Lord Bacon, and Sir Thomas More,” a work published in 1658. I had to examine the work a little while ago for Mr Bullen, and found it to be a fraudulent and wretched piece of hack-work, with very little in it that was new. If you are going to publish any more of those old pamphlets, I hope you will let me have proofs, not because I wish to be mentioned in your reprints, but because I like to keep my hand in and my memory from getting rusty. I’d much rather you did not mention my name in your notes, for they are not worth such recognition; and it is a real pleasure for me to find that sometimes what I notice is of some little use.

Yours very truly
Charles Crawford
