Scope and content
Critique of Sidgwick's treatise on medieval Ethics, for which Acton had recommended certain authors. Discusses a possible title. Points out certain shortcomings in the work, such as HS's failure to acknowledge that Christianity did triumph over Eastern paganism, and his [HS's] insularity as reflected in the work.
