HENRY SID GWICK.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]
Snt,—There is one sentence in your admirable article in the Spectator of September 8th on Henry Sidgwick to which, so I think, exception should be taken,—namely, "He carefully and conscientiously instructed, but he did not inspire." Some of those who heard him lecture, not once or twice, but day after day and term after term, will not admit that this is true. One of them, at all events, can say that he never heard, and can hardly imagine, a more inspiring teacher. Had the number of his hearers been greater than it was, there would have been no need for me to write this; but if I can speak only on behalf of a small number, I believe that I can sincerely speak of the greatest happiness that ever befell us.
am, Sir, /ice.,
