Item 136 - Letter from Rt. Hon. John Morley to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

Thanks Sidgwick for his book [The Methods of Ethics] which, he remarks, 'looks very attractive in print'. Reports that he has begun to read it 'in the careful manner it deserves.' Hopes that Helen Taylor will write on it for the Fortnightly [Review]; he has sent a copy of it to her at Avignon. Is unsure how she will react to his 'strong dissents from [John Stuart] Mill's theism [ ].' Expresses a desire to speak to Sidgwick about Mill's book.
