Letter from A.C. Fraser, Edinburgh, to William Angus Knight, 1881 January 7 : autograph manuscript signed.

Concerning publicity for the Series and Fraser's volume on Berkeley; saying "Yesterday, at Blackwood's, Mr. Henderson told me that he could easily get a paragraph about the 'Berkeley' into the Athenæum, but that he had no connection with the Academy. So if you take the Academy he c'd take the Athenæum. But as to this I shall be glad to hear what you say when I see you on Sunday. I heard from Mr. Arthur Balfour the other day - much interested in the Series - I hope you can just announce his name. As to the 'Berkeley' (whatever it may be worth) it's not a compilation, but an original work, which gives a view of Berkeley's life & thought, as a whole, which I have not found anywhere - I sh'd be glad to have it so [illegible] by critics & reviewers - who can address themselves to the question of its worth as an account of Berkeley, in himself & in his relation to what the modern world is thinking about. Perhaps A. Balfour could be got to review it. I hope you may soon get the Series referred to in a more emphatic way than even 'Mind" has yet done - for their note on Mahaffy is inadequate."
