Scope and content

Expresses his sympathy with Nora on the death of Henry Sidgwick. Declares that his great admiration for Henry's scientific work and his human qualities have linked him with Henry. Refers to the latter's 'kind criticism' from which he benefitted on their morning walks after Henry's lectures in 1896, as well as the help he gave Mandello through their correspondence. Is certain that 'all intellectual people of the English speaking world must grieve' Henry's death; describes him as 'one of the finest thinkers the XIX century produced....' Refers to Henry's 1896 lectures on sociology, which Mandello attended, and suggests that these should be published; believes that the Institut internationale de sociologie in Paris, whose vice-president Henry was, would be prepared to publish them. Had intended to visit Cambridge the following year, and to submit to Henry a theoretical treatise of sociology.
