Lecture given in Tokyo and Kyoto Universities in early 1983.

On books recommended for reading in relation to medieval ethics, including Gass' Geschichte der Christlichen Ethik, a volume of lectures by Neander, and Bettmann's Geschichte der Christichen Seite. Gives opinion as to the merits of each. Recommends especially Histoire des auteurs ecclesiastiques in 22 vols. by Ceillier, and 'the new edition' of Havreau. Mentions also Winter's book on the Ethics of the School of Alexandria and Jourdain's book on St Thomas. In relation to Hartmann's Phenomenology, claims it to be 'rude and spare' in the treatment of medieval theory, and comments that Sidgwick's 'enemy' Guyau 'knows nothing about it.' Mentions that his inability to verify the titles of his suggestions is due to the fact that he is ill in bed at the time of writing

Typescript termly lists of Butler's tutees on Side D carrying brief notes in Butler's hand recording exeats and absences as well as occasional other notes as to permission granted, and addresses while travelling. There are lists for Michaelmas, Lent, and Easter terms for each academic year from 1929 to 1938, accompanied by lists of men admitted on Side D for Michaelmas 1934. The list for Michaelmas term 1936 was torn up by Butler apparently in error, as the pieces were found in one of his envelopes. A final list for Michaelmas 1938 is present, and a list of men admitted to Side D for 1939, as are lists of freshmen for 1938 and 1939, and a list of examination results at Trinity published in August 1938. The final lists do not carry notes by Butler.

Thanks her for her letter. Is unable to express her own happiness, and how much she wishes to be a good wife to Henry and a good daughter to her; looks forward to getting to know her.

37 Curzon Street. - Delighted to find that Milnes was elected last night as a member of 'dear old Grillions', and as Secretary is very sorry that he had to dine at the Mansion House which 'prevented me from adding my ball to the unsullied whites which greeted your name'. Encloses a card of the dinners for the session [no longer present], and hopes Milnes will come at hte earlies possibly opportunity.

Clarks Hotel, 14 Clifford St, Bond St. - Houghton's 'kind note' has been forwarded to his hotel from home. Mr Gladstone has 'so kindly asked Mr Glyn' to propose him at the Reform Club; since a personal introduction to Glyn was necessary, Bell was 'naturally anxious to have the highest voucher for my respectability'. Houghton was in town, so Bell was emboldened to ask the favour of an introduction to Glyn', as 'for considerably more than a century my family has been professionally attached to yours' and he believes 'the same stern, honest independence which marked my great grandsire (a friend of the Priestleys) still dwells in my two brothers and myself'. Hopes, then, that when Houghton sees Glyn he will do Bell 'the favour to say that I come "of reputable stock" and am not likely to belie the honour he has done me'. Mr Baines will second Bell.

Temple Club, Arundel Street, Strand (headed notepaper). - Glad that Houghton accepts a Honorary Life Membership in the Club. Since they 'desire every class of Literature to be represented', they will be glad if he would 'allow us to add your name to the Committee' whose names are on the enclosed list; he will 'incur no liability or responsibility whatever, nor any inconvenience or trouble in serving therein'. Colborne is the Hon. Secretary of the Club. With printed enclosure giving the names of the Committee of the Temple Club.

West Lodge, Putney Common. - On Wednesday he is 'one of a mob of vulgarities bound for Epsom [Derby day horse races]', or he would have been 'glad to be at your board'.

Quite agrees with Milnes' view that 'Whittington matters are at present doubtful', but thinks that 'with adequate funds', which he hears are 'becoming more certain every day' the Club may 'promise larger designs'.

Photographs in sepia and in black and white. Views of Trinity include Great Court, the fountain, the Master's Lodge, King Edward's Gate, a view through gateways in Whewell's Court, and Nevile's Gate with Trinity Lane beyond. There is also a photograph of Trinity Lane running south towards the Old Schools with King's College Chapel behind, probably taken from V. H. Mottram's room in Staircase P, Great Court; it is this room which is likely shown in the single interior shot of the album. A photograph of the alcoves in the tribunal at the west wall of the Hall, each occupied by a figure in cap and gown, and a view of the river and the tower of St John's College chapel from North Paddock complete the images from Trinity; there is also a view labelled 'Coe Fen' which is mounted on two layers of card.
