Scope and content
Refers to the omission of the importance of Henry Sidgwick's work in relation to psychical research in the 'otherwise admirable memoir' of him. Refers to his own association with Sidgwick, and to the latter's activities in the Society for Psychical Research, of which he was president for the first few years of its existence, 'except for an interval, during which he stepped aside in favour of the late Professor Balfour Stewart'. Concludes that it is due to the character more even thatn to the distinguished intellectual gifts of HS that the society stands now so firmly 'that it can even survive his loss.'
