Portée et contenu

110 Banbury Road, Oxford.—Thanks him for the return of his scripts. Acknowledges the force of his criticisms regarding Thomas [Aquinas], but is puzzled why Aquinas had so little influence on Petrarch and humanism. Will continue his lectures on humanism next term. This term’s lectures, now completed, have brought the subject down to Valla, whom he has enjoyed reading. Credits Smith with improving his conception of civilisation while they were at Sheffield, and commends his style. He admired Smith’s handling of Baudelaire [in Scrutiny], despite a personal detachment from the subject, but felt that the parts relating to Butler were more interesting.
