Scope and content

Thanks Sidgwick for his letter with critique, which gave him 'great pleasure and satisfaction'. Expresses regret that Sidgwick will not be reviewing his work this time. Refers again to his criticisms of his work, and to the works of Aristophanes. Claims to be 'horrified to find to what opinions [he] stand[s] committed on the subject of marriage' and mentions that he himself got married recently.
