Item 76 - Letter from John Conington to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

Refers briefly to the subject of whether Sidgwick's friend 'wanted the nomination', and goes on to discuss Sidgwick's 'Review of Carthope's Ludibrae Lunae [Spectator 7 Aug 1869?], and the poem itself. Found the review to be 'very good', and the tone of it to be 'excellent'. Refers to Sidgwick's Fellowship. In relation to Horace, claims that the work 'prints at a snail's pace' and informs Sidgwick that a third edition of the Aeneid is printing.
