Scope and content

Postcard. Expresses his gratitude to Sidgwick. Refers to a passage in King Lear, containing the word 'enormous', and states that the word does not appear in some editions, and is omitted in Mrs Clarke's Concordance. Maintains that The Two Noble Kinsmen has been, by some, attributed partly to Shakespeare, and quotes from the latter work: '"O great corrector of enormous times" - Where Arcite is praying to Mars: Act V. scene 1. line 62.'
