Scope and content
Translation of Montaigne II.10 and "Oedipus at Colonus" 184ff. Notebook also used from other end: translation of Montaigne II.8 and III.7. Also list of names on three pages - 'E[lizabeth] T[revelyan], Miss [Rosalind] Simpkins, K[enneth?] Clark...' - crossed through in red with blue crosses and line [probably a distribution list, perhaps for "From the Shiffolds", since the third page has a note ''38 copies left. 39 envelopes']. Draft verse - 'It is true that lovers care little...' - and prose piece about 'ecstasies'. Draft letter from Trevelyan to [Kenneth] Sisam asking whether he is interested in publishing Trevelyan's translations of Montaigne's "Essays"; letter to be sent with a draft introduction explaining the principles by which Trevelyan has chosen the essays translated, a list of translated essays, and some examples [22/15 may be Sisam's reply to this letter, dated 24 Jan 1947]. Translation of Montaigne II.1, II.6, "Essay on Education" [from Book I], II.11 "on Cruelty", II.1, II.6, I.40
