Scope and content

Refers to a pamphlet written by him, which he sends to Sidgwick [128/2]. Claims that in it he has attempted to 'put before the world some ideas I got from [Sidgwick] forty years ago.' Expresses deep regret at the news of Sidgwick's breakdown. Hopes that he feels better and that he might 'let the foolish title go'. Suggests 'Knightbridge' as a 'sort of translation of Pontifex'. Refers to a letter Sidgwick is to receive [or has already received] from a Mr James Barnard, who, according to Everett, comes from a respectable family, is very much interested in the study of law, economics and [ ], but 'has perhaps not the most perfect control over all his mental operations.' The subject of the letter is a law and philosophical library, and Everett asks Sidgwick to assist him in any way he can. Discusses impending elections in America, the candidates in which are McKinley and Bryan, and maintains that the Republican party are now attempting to 'make war popular'. Refers to enclosure - a letter written by Everett to the New York Evening Post.
