"Monday night"

"I am very happy about that scheme of lectures [the initial scheme for the Lowell Lectures]. I don't know whether to call it 'The Search for Wisdom' or 'The Search for Insight.' I think perhaps insight is better. I have been walking round the streets thinking about it. I can think of the following heads:

I. Nature and Importance of the Problem
II. Insight in Politics: Lincoln, Mazzini
III. Insight in Human Relations: Who? Lamb
IV. Insight in Poetry: Dante
V. Insight in Science: Galileo
VI. Insight in Philosophy: Spinoza
VII. The Nature of Insight.

I want one more heading, to make eight lectures. Perhaps History?

I feel convinced I can do the lectures—they will be what Prisons failed to be." [Doesn't think "Insight" is right word.]
