Summary
Offering a recommendation for [William] Courtney who was once his private pupil; saying he is now a "good popular lecturer on Philosophy;" mentioning the two books he has written, The Metaphysics of J. S. Mill and Studies in Philosophy, written from the point of view of the late T. H. Green; concluding, "He is one of the pillars of the O.U. boat club. Finally he has a weakness for amateur theatricals - which will doubtless endear him to all serious minded Scotchmen!"
