Phillimore. Wedgwood read paper, "It's best believing if we may"; discussion on religious work in East End [of London]. "My thorough-going scepticism with respect to knowledge".

Dining at the Marshalls' to meet the Bishop of Peterborough. "Feb. 5" His moods very temporary. Alys's mother wonderfully unselfish. "Sir Frederick Pollock, whom thee mentions in thy letter to Logan as the rudest man in England, is the author of a book on Spinoza which I have lately read and which seems to me every way admirable; besides being very well and interestingly written it displays an amount and variety of learning before which my brain reels. It is a very Apostolic book, being written by one brother and dedicated to another (W.K. Clifford)."
