Item 58 - Letter from W. S. Jevons to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

Thanks Sidgwick for the copy of the additions to the new edition of Methods of Ethics. Remarks on Sidgwick's publishing of the additions separately as being 'a very liberal thing', and asserts that the book 'has done great service to the cause of accurate thinking'. Claims that 'all good candidates for London degrees make a point of reading it', and that, as a result, there is 'a sensible improvement in the mode of thinking on the subject.' Suggests that sometime in the future, when several of his proposed articles on [ ] have appeared, Sidgwick might give his opinion on 'the success or otherwise of [Jevons'] attack on Mill's [Logicalness].
