Item 141 - Letter from Sir George Young to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Thanks Nora for sending the letters [his own to Henry Sidgwick]; remarks that there is hardly one of them about 'College Reform in the sixties or University of London Reform in the nineties of which [he has] any recollection'. What Nora says about his last letter to Henry is 'very grateful' to him. Explains that 'The Collect', which with slight changes he has given lately to a young man in trouble, 'is one of those written by William Bright and appended to his edition of Ancient Collects'; says that it, with one which immediately precedes it, 'is very much better than the rest'. Likes Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir, in spite of the fact that he does not like biographies as a rule.
