BROD/C/1 · Class · 1910-69
Fait partie de Papers of C. D. Broad, Part I

Items C1/15-37 were kept in a file marked "Mathematics, Physics and Philosophy" with the word 'Mathematics' struck through Notwithstanding the deletion, it does contain some mathematical material. The use of St Andrews examination stationery suggests that at least some of this material dates from Broad's period at that University or shortly afterward.

Items C1/54- 62 were kept together by CDB under the title "Notes on Kant"

Athenæum Club, Pall Mall
7th April 1876

Dear Mr Pollock—I enclose cheque (£5) for the Conspiracy Fund. I would do the same over again if a fresh application is found necessary. I am very glad that the thing has been undertaken and think that nothing too much can be done that may tend to the preservation of so valuable a life.

Believe me,
Yours very truly
J. J. Sylvester

[Direction on envelope:] F. Pollock Esqr | 12 Bryanston St | Portman Square | W

The envelope was postmarked at London, S.W., and London, W., on 7 April 1876, and is marked ‘Sylvester’ in a later hand.

EDDN/A/1/1 · Pièce · 3 Jan. [1899]
Fait partie de Papers of Sir Arthur Eddington

Transcript

Grand Hôtel des Bergues, Genève
3. Jan 1898.

Dear Mrs. Eddington,

I sent you just one bit of my ideas abt. Stanley as soon as he left us. The rest must follow now.

His presence has been a great pleasure to us. You have got a boy mixed of most kindly elements, as perhaps Shakspeare might say {1}. His rapidly and clearly working mind has not in the least spoiled his character. I don’t know when I have had to do with so modest and gentlemanly a boy. It is a testimony to day schools and home training, (not, I am afraid, my favourite theory.)

His youth has, of course, been just a little against his making friends, but has not been fatal to it. In Clayton, & in Wood & Brown he has nice associates; but he seems more contented alone than most boys are.

His work is all that I expected, & more: & I feel altogether that he is “a precious youth” committed to my charge. I can realise to some extent what Margaret would feel like if she were left alone to bring up our own little Richard.

I remain
Your friend sincerely
John W. Graham

The writing-paper is engraved with illustrations of the hotel, etc. The year is wrong, as Eddington did not enter Owen’s College till October 1898 (see his Notebook).

{1} Graham evidently had in mind Antony’s encomium on Brutus at the end of Julius Caesar: ‘His life was gentle, and the elements | So mix’d in him that Nature might stand up | And say to all the world “This was a man!”’
