Reading Experience:

Evidence:

"Excuse all this; but though you may not easily give me credit I really admired Mr Maurice; I attended his lectures as a boy; I studied his books carefully & I should be sorry that you think of my errors as caused by carelessness or undue superciliousness. They are at least the outcome of a good deal of as conscientious thinking as I can give."

Additional Comments:

Letter from Leslie Stephen to Rev J Llewelyn Davies. This letterw as written to vindicate Stephen in the eyes of Davies for his scatching attack on Maurice's theological stance in his article 'Mr Maurice's Theology'. This at the very least shows that Stephen has read Maurice's work.
