Item 6 - Letter from Oscar Browning to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Writes to express his admiration for the book Henry Sidgwick: a Memoir, which he found very interesting. States that he 'knew most of it before, but...did not expect to find it stated so vividly in a manner to attract those who did not know him.' Remarks that in the book, however, there is nothing about 'the teaching of political as distinguished from antiquarian history, and the training of teachers' - two questions that Henry and he often used to discuss; says since Henry's death he has had no one to help him [in the latter question] 'except the Master of Peterhouse [Adolphus Ward], who is very busy.' Says he has many of Henry's letters, and asks if he should send them to Nora. Asks her to let Arthur Sidgwick know what he thinks of the book.
