Pièce 125 - Letter from William Everett to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

Replies in the affirmative to Sidgwick's question as to whether he wishes to get regular literary work in England. Expresses his willingness to review any popular work on history, poetry or travels; to 'take up the broad question of general interest in politics or society'; to 'discuss the life and work of any great man whose course had been recently before the world.' Claims to 'think and feel as an intelligent man on all the great questions that stir the public mind', e.g., 'the ballot in New England' and the 'convenience discomforts of railway travellers in civilized Europe and America'.
