Dear Sir,

I have just returned tome, &, referring to yours of the 29th Nov[ember]. last, send you by post a copy of my Pamphlet on Languages, which kindly return, as it is almost the only one I have left. I shall be much pleased to see anything you may have written on the subject. I also send you Papers on the division of the circle. Perhaps you may have friends interested in such enquiries. Although I discovered that our divisions of the circle is Euphratean in origin, yet, presumably, because I don't live in Town or in Oxford or Cambridge,— no one has yet taken much notice of the matter. I fancy these great folks sometimes rather resent discoveries made by other people. I send you also a skit on [1 word illeg.] in which I showed up A. Lang's² nonsense. It has amused many, including Ruskin³. I saw a singularly [2] feeble & foolish review of your Man's Place⁴ in the Times the other day. The writer seemed to be almost aware that his remarks were merely a parody on your views. With all good wishes for the new year. I remain

Yours faithfully | Robert Brown [signature]
