Jowett Papers - Group I Class E

Group I

Class E - Letters from Bejamin Jowett; Reminiscences of Benjamin Jowett; Miscellaneous materials

I E consists of the contents of Faber's 'Box E'. Apart from E1-E3, it contains exclusively material collected by Abbott and Campbell for their biography of BJ. Some of it was taken from BJ's own papers, but the rest was assembled or written by Abbott and Campbell themselves.

As found in 1992, the contents of I E had been sorted into separate items and put into envelopes or folders, all of which had been assigned both a Greek letter and a number. It seems that the letter had been given them by Faber, the number by EVQ. It is unclear whether Faber or Abbott sorted the documents into these groups; fortunately, as will be seen, most of them are fairly coherent. As these groups have already attained a certain currency, and are retained in this catalogue, with new numbers (see the Introduction for a conversion table from the old to the new system).

Originally Group E contained BJ's letters to Lewis Campbell and A.P. Stanley, and Faber gave them the letters α and γ. At some stage after 1957, the letters to Stanley were taken away from the Jowett Papers, and put next to MS 410, Stanley's letters to BJ. In 1992 they were returned to the Jowett Papers, and put in Group III as III S. The letters to Campbell were also moved there and have become III C.

The contents of I E are arranged as follows:

E1-E2: Lectures on Plato and the Presocratics.

E3: Notebook with interviews conducted by Lewis Campbell.

E4-E5: Letters from and to BJ.

E6: Letters from Florence Nightingale to Evelyn Abbott.

E7-E17: Letters written in BJ's lifetime, not always by or to him, but usually concerning him, as well as some letters from Lewis Campbell to Evelyn Abbott.

E18-19: Miscellaneous material, including letters from BJ and others, speeches, etc.

E20-23: Reminiscences of BJ sent to Abbott and Campbell.

E24-E27: Miscellaneous material, including speeches, memoirs by BJ of others, newpaper cuttings, and drafts of A & C.

E1-E2: Lectures on Plato and the Presocratics.

E1

Quarto NB , red marble paper cover (worn), with red morocco spine, titled [in Matthew Knight's hand? (ink)] Pre Socratic Philosophy Vol. I. 281 pages*, several blank, with some extra leaves inserted. Ink and pencil.

Leaf 1a (see below), in Frank Fletcher's hand, has a note, which he says was dictated by BJ in 1891, to the effect that this NB, and E2, are lecture notes dated to c.1860 copied in the hand of 'Mr. Jackson of Worcester' (= T.W. Jackson). Since the greater part of both books, including most of the page-numbers, is written in an otherwise unknown hand, presumably Fletcher is right in his identification. Jackson wrote out the main text on pp.3-139, 165-95 and 217-271 on all the odd-numbered pages, and BJ then added comments on the even-numbered pages, and made notes on some of pp.140-63, 197-215 and 272-81. Jackson used ink, BJ used mostly pencil and a little ink.

Fletcher, based on BJ, dated the books to c.1860; there is nothing to confirm or refute this dating, but he suggests that BJ's comments were made in c.1885-90, which BJ's hand would not prevent, although some of his comments seem to be written in an 1860s hand.

There are almost no headings in this NB. Frank Fletcher provided headings of his own in his list of contents, as he did for other notebooks. These are given here, in round brackets.

These lecture books are closely related to BJ's other Presocratic lectures especially those in I B, but they do not seem to be mere copies from his other notebooks.

E2

Quarto NB, red marbled paper cover (damaged), with red morocco spine, titled [in Matthew Knight's hand? (ink)] Pre-Socratic Philosophy Vol. II. Only pp.1-255 used, with several extra leaves inserted. Ink and pencil.

This NB is the companion to E1: they are identical in appearance, and the greater part of both is written in the same hand (which Frank Fletcher identified as T.W. Jackson's), and set out in the same way.

For further details concerning the hand, the layout of the book, and its possible date, see the note on E1 above. As with E1, not many headings are provided in the text, so those which Frank Fletcher provided on 1a are given in round brackets where necessary.

E3: Notebook with interviews conducted by Lewis Campbell.

E3

Small NB (180 by 110mm), black leather cover, spine slightly frayed, labelled [in an unknown hand (ink)] Interviews of L[ewis] C[ampbell] with friends of B.J. 1893-94. Only leaves 1-41 used, some blank. Ink. Most of the NB is written in Lewis Campbell's hand, but some of it is written in an unknown one (perhaps Fanny Campbell's? - see fol.17).

This NB was clearly used c.1894-6 by Lewis Campbell, and perhaps his wife Fanny, in the preparation of his contribution to A & C. A loose leaf, in EVQ's hand, in the inside front cover says that it was returned by Sir Geoffrey Faber 15 Feb. 1956 (i.e. after he had returned the other Jowett papers - see Section I of the Introduction).

E4-E5: Letters from and to BJ.

E4

Envelope inscribed β 2. It contains letters from BJ to Evelyn Abbott. All letters are from BJ to Abbott unless otherwise noted.

Abbott presumably placed these letters with the other Jowett material when he put it all away after the completion of work on A & C (see Section I of the Introduction). There are more letters from BJ to Abbott at II A6.

Where BJ did not put the year on these letters, someone (Abbott?) has added dates (in pencil), which are given here in square brackets.

• [1] Balliol, 11 Feb 1873, all except signature in Matthew Knight's hand [1 leaf]. BJ comments on Rev. J. La Touche, and conveys Balliol's offer of a post for Abbott.
• [2] W. Malvern, 11 Aug 1878, ALS [1 leaf]. BJ asks for Abbott's papers on Sophocles. He is glad that Abbott can make up for his bodily infirmities by his scholarly achievements. Discussion of the speeches of Demosthenes and Abbott's work on them. Comments on Leveson-Gower.
• [3] W. Malvern, 25 Aug 1878, ALS [1 leaf]. BJ's comments on an article on Sophocles.

• [6] Oxford, 24 Jul 1881, ALS [1 leaf]. Comments on Abbott's work on Demosthenes.
• [7] W. Malvern, 8 Jan [1882], ALS [1 leaf]. Has Abbott contacted Toynbee? BJ now considers it was a mistake to accept [R.B.] Benson at Balliol. Concern over Abbott's rooms. News of Ritchie.
• [8] Oxford, 14 Jan [1882], ALS [1 leaf]. Concern over Abbott's health.
• [9] n.a., 20 Nov [1882], ALS [1 leaf]. BJ consoles Abbott over the death of his mother, and reminds him how much Balliol is in his debt. News of Fletcher.
• [10] Ashfield House, W. Malvern, 25 May 1883, all except signature in Matthew Knight's hand [1 leaf]. Discussion on the regulations for college scholarships, and college account. Can Strachan-Davidson become Senior Bursar?

E5

Envelope labelled δ 4, containing various letters, all addressed to BJ and all 1 leaf unless otherwise indicated.

It is not known how these escaped destruction. Presumably either Abbott and Campbell or Faber sorted them out and put them in this envelope. A brief list of their contents is written on the envelope in Faber's hand.

• [1] James T. Round. Colchester, begun 5 Mar 1856, finished 23 Apr, ALS [13 leaves]. A very detailed discussion of BJ's edition of St. Paul, in which Round takes issue with many of BJ's stances, especially in the essay on the Atonement.
• [2] Frederick Temple. n.a. and n.d. [but internal evidence dates to it c.1854/5], ALS [2 leaves]. Temple comments in detail on BJ's edition of St. Paul.
• [3] James Wapshare. 27 George Street, Portman Square, London, 1 Jun 1857, ALS [6 leaves]. Wapshare discusses in detail BJ's edition of St. Paul.
• [4] W. Young. Dulwich Common, 8 Apr 1876, ALS [1 leaf]. Reminiscences about Hugh Lancaster. Young says that he is enclosing 5 letters to him from Hugh Lancaster, but only 2 are enclosed. They are both from Balliol, dated 14 Feb 1852 and 18 May 1852, and both ALS [2 leaves]. In them, Lancaster gives lively accounts of college life at the time.
• [5] Lord Camperdown. 39 Charles St, Berkeley Square, London, 4 Dec 1887, ALS [2 leaves]. Attempts to pacify BJ after Camperdown's last letter seemingly upset him. They are concerned with looking after D's [= Lord Dalhousie's] family, and the problem of their guardians.
• [6] Guy Irwin. Oxford, Thursday [1888], ALS [1 leaf]. BJ thanked for Guy's advice that he should leave £10,000 to Harriet Frances [Guy's sister].
• [7] Lewis Campbell. St. Andrew's, 13 Dec 1891, ALS [1 leaf; almost certainly a reply to III C196]. Campbell is glad to hear that BJ is better, and sends him details of the publication of the Republic. He asks after the Politics, and after Gell, and passes on news of Andrew Lang's health.
• [8] Countess of Rosebery. On a visiting card, 38 Berkeley Square, n.d. (pencil). Have any of BJ's sermons been printed?
• [9] F.W. Verney. 6 Onslow Gardens, London SW, 14 Dec 1892, ALS [1 leaf]. He warns BJ against getting further advice [on an unspecified question].
• [10] M.E. Sadler. University Extensions Office, Examination Schools, Oxford, 3 Jan 1891, ALS [1 leaf]. Sadler wants BJ's advice on University Extension Students. How many more should there be, and can BJ advise on how to obtain grants for them?
• [11] Alfred Milner. 54 Claverton Street, London SW, 2 Feb 1882, ALS [3 leaves]. Milner tells BJ he has decided not to try for the Bar and explains why [preserved in the same envelope as 12].
• [12] Philip Lyttleton Gell. 'La Belle Sauvage', London EC, 2 Feb 1882, ALS [1 leaf]. Gell supports Milner in his decision, explaining how unsuited he is for the work, and suggests what he might do in the future. Can BJ help in getting him an entrée into political life?

E6: Letters from Florence Nightingale to Evelyn Abbott.

E6

Envelope (with stamps) addressed to Evelyn Abbott, and inscribed ε 5. Letters from Florence Nightingale to Evelyn Abbott or Lewis Campbell [all letters are from her, unless otherwise indicated].

Presumably Abbott himself collected all these letters and put them together in this envelope. More letters from Florence Nightingale to him are at II N.

• [1] To Campbell. 10 South St, Park Lane, London, 14 Jun 1894, ALS [1 leaf]. Some reminiscences of BJ, especially of his tenacity.
• [2] To Abbott. Claydon House, Winslow, Bucks, 4 Feb 1895, ALS [2 leaves, 1 in ink, the other in pencil]. Arrangements for sending letters or copies of them to Abbott or Campbell.
• [3] To Abbott. Claydon House, 9 Jan 1895, ALS [4 leaves (pencil)]. She is very concerned that her name must not appear at all, and over the propriety of publishing letters. Reminiscences of BJ's reaction on hearing he was to be Master, and of when BJ first became intimate with her.
• [4] Copies of extracts from BJ's letters to Florence Nightingale for 1865-9, in her hand, and dated 5 Mar 1895 [2 leaves].
• [5] To Abbott. Claydon House, begun 18 Feb 1895, finished 20 Feb, ALS [5 leaves, some parts of them in pencil]. More reminiscences of BJ, especially concerning his conversations and writings.
• [6] To Abbott. 10 South Street, 2 Dec 1896, ALS [1 leaf]. Congratulations on the progress of the book.
• [7] To Campbell. 10 South Street, 12 Jan 1894, ALS [originally 2 leaves: only the second survives]. Reminiscences of BJ.
• [8] To Abbott. Claydon House, 10 Jan 1895, ALS [1 leaf] pencil)]. She gives advice on how the biography should be written; in her opinion, the business over how Scott was promoted to make way for BJ ought to be omitted.
• [9] To Abbott. Claydon House, 5 Mar 1895, ALS [2 leaves (partly in pencil)]. More on the progress of the biography [in which she assumes that Abbott will revise Campbell's work].
• [10] Undated note to Abbott or Campbell headed 1866, which originally accompanied some copies of letters from BJ.
• [11] Envelope with stamps preserved, addressed to Florence Nightingale, postmarked Oxford 12 Jan 1895, which once contained a letter to Lord Lansdowne [now missing], on which Florence Nightingale has written a brief note to Abbott on its use.

E7-E17: Letters written in BJ's lifetime, not always by or to him, but usually concerning him, as well as some letters from Lewis Campbell to Evelyn Abbott

E7

Envelope of registered post, addressed to Lewis Campbell, postmarked Oxford 6 Dec 1895, and labelled ζ 6 - Letters A.P.S to L.C.. Collection of letters mostly from A.P. Stanley to Lewis Campbell.

It seems from 10 that Sir George Grove, into whose hands Stanley's papers had come, found these letters, and sent them to Campbell, who then gave them to Abbott, who put them with the other Jowett papers. It is unclear why these letters should have ended up here, unless Campbell had given them to Stanley's biographer, R.E. Prothero, in the same way that BJ had given his letters from Stanley. Stanley's writing is not easy to read: the dates of his letters can be especially hard to decipher.

• [1] A.P. Stanley to Lewis Campbell. n.a. [1859-62], ALS [1 leaf], preserved in an envelope on which Campbell wrote the date. Thoughts on an enclosed article by Campbell [on an unspecified subject]. News of Lingen's attempts to raise money to increase BJ's salary [see II A8/1-2 for more on this].
• [2] A.P. Stanley to Lewis Campbell. 6 Grosvenor Crescent, London n.d. [1860s?], ALS [1 leaf]. On BJ's salary [probably; Stanley's writing is not easy to read].
• [3] Campbell to BJ. Edinburgh, 29 Oct 1860, ALS [1 leaf]. Mention of Campbell's brother's book review in the Journal of Jurisprudence [NB: no letter from BJ can be linked with this one].
• [4] A.P. Stanley to Campbell. 6 Grosvenor Crescent, 25 Mar [1861: Campbell dates it], ALS [1 leaf (now inside an envelope with stamp, postmarked St. Andrew's 5 Mar 1885, and addressed to T. Walrond)]. Stanley tells of how a letter he had submitted to the Times was rejected.
• [5] A.P. Stanley to Campbell. Christ Church, Oxford, 13 Jul [or Mar?] 1861, ALS [2 leaves]. Advice to Campbell on where to publish a letter (probably to do with Essays and Reviews). He hopes the London agitation has subsided, thanks to Tait.
• [6] A.P. Stanley to Campbell (?). The Deanery, Westminster, 27 Mar 1876, ALS [1 leaf; apparently the last leaf of a longer letter, the rest of which is now missing]. Can Campbell come to a concert with Stanley?
• [7] A.P. Stanley to Campbell (?). The Deanery, Westminster, 27 Mar 1877, ALS [1 leaf], envelope with stamp preserved. Sorry not to see Campbell. Recollections of a visit to Carlyle.
• [8] A.P. Stanley to Campbell. Oxford, 30 Oct [1863], AL[S] [1 leaf, of which the part with the signature is cut away]. Stanley discusses Campbell's sermon.
• [9] A.P. Stanley to Campbell. The Deanery, Westminster, 26 Sep [?], ALS [1 leaf]. On Stanley's planned sermon in the church at St. Andrews, and what preparations should be made.
• [10] A.P. Stanley to Campbell. Christ Church, Oxford, 23 Oct 1862, ALS [1 leaf]. Stanley expresses approval of Campbell's manuscript [unspecified].
• [11] Sir George Grove to Campbell. Lower Sydenham, 9 Aug 1895, ALS [1 leaf]. Grove has found some letters in Stanley's papers, which he returns to Campbell. Those written to BJ have been returned to Abbott.

E8

Letters from Lewis Campbell to Evelyn Abbott, originally in an envelope inscribed η - Letters from Lewis Campbell to Evelyn Abbott.

A note in Faber's writing says that he had extracted these from the main body of the correspondence between the two men now in F, as they contained points of interest. Since there is correspondence between Abbott and Campbell all over the Jowett Papers, it is impossible to know from where he extracted these letters. Only the dates of the letters are given, and very few are summarised. They are for the most part concerned with the minutiae of writing A & C, but unusual details have been noted. All letters are ALS and 1 leaf, unless otherwise noted.

• [1] 26 Oct 1895
• [2] 6 Nov 1895
• [3] 17 Nov 1895

• [33] 5 Nov 1896
• [34] 6 Nov 1896
• [35] 16 Nov 1896

E9

Envelope labelled 8 θ - 4 Notes from E. Pusey to APS, received from Sir G. Grove 9 Aug 1895 [all but the number and Greek letter in Campbell's hand]. 4 ALS from Pusey to A.P. Stanley, none addressed or dated, but 1-3 all have the date 1854 written on them. 1-3 are each labelled VIII, and 4 XIV, all in another hand [the numbers and dates could be in Campbell's hand].

It seems that Grove sent Campbell these letters too, and Campbell again presumably passed them on to Abbott, who put them here.

• [1] Pusey is unhappy about events that morning, which had gone worse than hoped, as he always prefers a peaceful outcome [the event described is unclear; perhaps it is connected with one of the many battles over BJ's professorial salary?].
• [2] Pusey is glad of Stanley's kindness. He is worried about annoying Professor V [? - unidentified], but he cannot avoid it, since the professor published some letters of Pusey's. Discussion of the work of the Commission reforming Oxford.
• [3] Pusey does not understand Stanley over discussions on the creation of new Professorships proposed by the Commission.
• [4] Dated 'Saturday'. Pusey congratulates Stanley [on an unspecified achievement], and reflects on the differences in their beliefs.

E10

Envelope labelled Greek Professorship and Pusey ι 9. Contains material connected with BJ's long struggle to obtain a proper salary for the Regius Professorship.

It was presumably collected for the writing of A & C, and then deposited here by Abbott.

• [1] Henry Liddell to the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford (then John Prideaux Lightfoot). Christ Church, 17 Feb 1865, ALS [1 leaf (ink)]. Liddell informs the Vice-Chancellor that the Dean and Chapter have agreed to augment the salary of the Greek Professorship.
• [2] BJ to Vice-Chancellor Lightfoot. Balliol, 21 Feb 1865, ALS [1 leaf (ink)]. BJ returns Dean Liddell's letter [1?] and Lightfoot's [not preserved here] with thanks.
• [3] W.B. Skene to Lewis Campbell. Christ Church, 14 Feb 1895, ALS with envelope preserved. Skene sends Campbell a copy of college minutes concerning the Professorship, with a request that they not be published. Enclosed are extracts [in an unknown hand] from the minutes of the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church for 13 Dec 1864, 14 Feb 1865, 3 and 17 Nov 1865 and 2 Mar 1866, all concerning BJ's salary.
• [4] J.R. Magrath to Lewis Campbell. Queen's College, Oxford, 21 Jul 1895, ALS [1 leaf (ink)]. A letter accompanying extracts from the minutes of the Hebdomadal Council concerning the salary of the Regius Professor, copied by his wife.

E11

Folded leaf of paper labelled Acknowledgements of Plato - κ (10) [except for the number and Greek letter, all in Martha Knight's hand (ink)]. Contains various letters of thanks to BJ for complimentary copies of BJ's 1892 edition of his translations of Plato. The contents are all very similar (thanking BJ for his gift, and admiration of his scholarship), so that they are not summarised here.

It is unclear why these letters survived the general destruction of BJ's correspondence.

All letters are ALS and 1 leaf (ink) unless otherwise indicated.

E12

Folded paper labelled Re Children's Bible project of 1872 - λ (11). Contains letters connected with the project, and BJ's involvement in it.

It is unclear how all these letters found their way here; some seem to have been sent by Rev. William Rogers, and it is most likely that Abbott or Campbell procured them for their work, and then retained them.

• [1] The paper which encloses the rest is an unsigned and unaddressed TS from Longman concerning the history of the Children's Bible.

Envelope labelled [in Faber's hand? (pencil)] BJ and the Press - μ (12). Material connected with BJ's relations with Oxford University Press.

• [1] BJ to Horace Hart. Oxford, 18 Apr 1887, TS copy [1 leaf]. BJ consoles Hart for his bad health, and hopes that he will get better, and assures him of the goodwill of the Delegates.
• [2] Notes [in two unknown hands, the second hand adding a paragraph on the end] on BJ's links with Oxford City Charities and the Clarendon Press [1 leaf: the first hand uses ink, the second pencil].

E14

Envelope labelled [in Faber's hand (pencil)] (13) Luther Question 1883 v [the envelope was originally labelled 1882 (perhaps in Evelyn Abbott's hand?), which Faber crossed out]. Material connected with what action Oxford University should take to observe the 400th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther in 1884. The suggestion most frequently mooted was that an address be sent by the university to the people of Germany.

It seems likely that Abbott collected these documents for the writing of A & C, and deposited them with the rest of the Jowett papers.

[1-5 are pinned together with a brass pin]

• [1] W. Ince to BJ. Christ Church 29 Oct 1883, ALS [1 leaf]. Covering letter for Pritchard's (3?).

E15

Envelope labelled BJ on Scepticism ξ (14).

• Notes by BJ for a sermon (or essay?) on scepticism (Faber wrapped them in a sheet of paper and wrote on this Interesting sermon (?) on Scepticism). 20 leaves, some folded. Ink. There are many revisions, and the leaves are now out of order. The leaves are undated, but BJ's hand suggests the 1850s-1860s. Some of the revisions suggest that BJ may have returned to these leaves a few years after writing the original text.

E16

Envelope labelled [in Faber's hand (pencil)] M.J. Knight's letters 88/89 o (15). Letters to BJ from Matthew Knight while convalescing at Davos. All of them, unless otherwise indicated, are ALS [1 leaf (ink)], and concerned with proofs of BJ's work on the Republic and other Platonic works.

These letters are now in an envelope addressed to Faber. It is unclear why and how these were not destroyed, or whether Faber collected them himself, or merely replaced an old envelope with a new one.

E17

Envelope labelled [in Faber's hand (pencil)] Letters re BJ's last illness and death π (16).
