George Grote to Sir William Molesworth (c.1838-40): 'The other day at the Athenaeum I took up one of the volumes of the "Documens pour servir a l'Histoire de France," which I found to be the production of Victor Cousin, and to relate to the philosophy of the Middle Ages during the age of Abelard and Roscellinus. There are some clear and instructive reflections in it on the controversy of that day between the Nominalists and Realists.'
