Notes and topics

Parts of BR's "Introduction to Philosophy" lectures may grow in time into "a systematic exposition of the whole of my philosophy."

The History is to be published in the U.S. today, but BR does not have a copy.

On a visit BR would take Schuster to dine in Hall at Trinity.

Dear Mr. Schuster

Thank you very much for your most kind letter of Sp. 25, which gave me great pleasure. Your praise is exceedingly encouraging. As today is your date for publishing my book, I shall hope before long to receive a copy from you, though I know that there are difficulties and delays now-a-days.

All goes well with me. I am giving a year-long course of lectures called “Introduction to Philosophy”, and I hope that parts of it will in time grow into a systematic exposition of the whole of my philosophy. But that will take another year or two.

It will be a great pleasure to see you if you come to England. I should like to take you to dine in Hall at Trinity if you could spare the time.

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
