Scope and content
Refers to a paper 'in which John Grote criticised his brother's view of the Republic of Plato in a sort of imaginary conversation', and the second part thereof, which 'alludes to some intermediate paper written in the name of Glaucon'. Guesses that it was Sidgwick who had been the author of the latter, and asks him to allow him to have the paper and print it in the Classical Review with Grote's two papers. Claims that he would have printed them before, but was afraid that Mrs George Grote would probably not have approved. Refers to the rumour that Sidgwick might be invited to 'fix' himself there, and expresses his happiness about the matter.
