Unidad documental simple 25 - Letter from J. W. Hales to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

Expresses his wish to see the Cambridge Education article, which Sidgwick had offered to show him. Hopes to write a short account of the Education movement in the sixteenth century. Asks whether it would be a good thing 'if one knew something more of the older life at the [University]', and remarks on how little interest is shown in it. Observes that [Christopher] Wordsworth's books might be useful in this project. States that '[t]here seemed a fair number' the previous day, and that he told their 'young friend of [Sidgwick's] coming document'. Mentions the possibility of Sidgwick giving a lecture on it one day, and asks him whether he is going to annotate it and add an introduction to it. Includes a suggested title for a guide to Sidgwick's Lent term lectures.
