The memoir of Henry Sidgwick [1838-1900J is a labor of love by the<br />

brother and the widow of the late professor of moral philosophy in<br />

Cambridge University. To many persons, ail over the civilized world,<br />

his name will recall the work of one of the most profound and<br />

suggestive philosophers of our time, the author of treatises on ethics,<br />

economics and politics, prominent in the cause of university reform,<br />

of the higher education of women, and of psychical research. To a<br />

smaller number, chiefly in England, he will be remembered as the<br />

keenest, liveliest, most accurate and most candid of talkers. From<br />

a smaller number still, this memoir chiefly composed of his own letters<br />

will draw out not painful tears in memory of a heart as warm as his<br />

head was strong, a sweetness as irresistible as his intellect, and an<br />

elevation of soul that never tottered under the hardest questions of<br />

life. Condensed from review by William Everett in Atlantic monthly,<br />

1906.<br />
