| Title | Letter from William Ridgeway, Flendyshe, Fen Ditton, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Ridgeway; Sir William (1853-1926); Irish classical scholar |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 29 August 1917 |
| Description | He returns the 'feeble' manifesto of the Rationalist Committee: 'I do not think the Almighty's position is much endangered by it'. He only knows B.H. [Basil Hall] Chamberlain from his correcting an error in Ridgeway's account of Japanese funeral rites in his book on early Greece. Ridgeway has made use of Chamberlain's book on 'Things Japanese', but thinks the author superficial. He was sorry to see [William Halse Rivers] Rivers so out of sorts on Sunday; he needs rest from his work at Edinburgh and a short furlough is not enough. He concludes with comments on Freeman's Journal and [Edward] Carson, and on 'Mr. Holman's speech in Dublin'. |
