DE MORGAN IS GRATEFUL FOR PRAISE FOR HIS WRITING
DE MORGAN
(William Frend, 1839-1917, Artist, Inventor and Author)
Autograph Letter Signed to an unnamed correspondent
thanking him for his letter and “its expression of approval of my books - My own feeling about the way they have been received is one of surprise and gratitude. Thank you also for so kindly copying for me the most interesting extracts from Bishop Westcott. The problems they touch on simply frighten me in my old age - In my youth I settled them off hand - of course! But I find on looking back that I have settled them in several different ways at different times and now I am simply waiting for an illumination which it appears to me must come - or else blank nothingness, which is to me inconceivable. I have however got one fixed idea - that when I catch myself appealing to a thing called Necessity, to help me out of the Insoluble, my finiteness has got the bit in its teeth and run away with me. I daresay Peggy’s ideas have varied too since those days - She was younger...”, 4 sides 8vo., 1 The Vale, King’s Road, Chelsea, 12th August
