416 Lysander Spooner Esq Dear Sir, I have an Article written upon the
“Unknowable [?]” of Herbert Spencer, which I desire to have published in some
suitable magazine. I have thought the comparatively new one published in
Boston, the name of which I cannot now recall, but the one in which some of
your Articles on the Currency have appeared, may be the right one for my
purpose. My paper is an attempt to show that the
position affirmed [?] by Mr. Spencer upon the subject of the “Unknowable” is
untenable; and of course it is somewhat metaphysical, though designed to avoid
as much as possible the metaphysical aspects of the question in controversy. I
should prefer, if possible, to have it appear in some periodical that pays for
its contribution. Will you advise me on the subject? Perhaps the “North
American [?]” would be the best to publish in, if they would receive it. If it would not be too much trouble for
you, I would like to send my manuscript to you, have you read it first, and
afterwards deliver it to the editor or publisher of the magazine, if you shall
think it worthy of publication, with instruction that if not accepted,
the MS be returned. Please send me a line in answer to this in the enclosed
envelope. Mrs. Brackett is still in Yours Very
Sincerely, Mr.
Brackett |
