The Henson Journals

[509]

Tuesday, November 30th, 1915.

484th day

It being St Andrew's Day I celebrated in the Cathedral at 8 a.m.: & my special intention was the Book which I desire to write, and which much fills my mind. Then I spent the morning in making notes on Whitgift's book against Cartwright – a drearily unspiritual work indeed, but very illuminating as a product of the "Elizabethan settlement". Lady Scarbrough came to lunch, and returned later to have tea. I walked with Logic, and then attended Evensong, where I was alone for all the canons were absent on good grounds. Then I resumed my study of Whitgift. Two new volumes of the Surtees Society arrived.
