Summary
Thanking him for the copy of his book on Spinoza and promising to read it; saying he has just sent the "...last first proofs of Hegel;" adding "There is an interesting book of essays by the younger men of Kantian-Hegelian proclivities about to come out, for which I have written a preface with a few words about Green. By the way I am seeing the proofs of his unpublished work on Ethics, which I think will be a very great contribution to philosophy. It is about as thorough work as I have ever seen."
