Excerpt from Principles of Biography: The Leslie Stephen Lecture Delivered in the Senate House, Cambridge, on 13 May 1911
I appreciate very highly the honour which the electors have done me in conferring on me the office of Leslie Stephen Lecturer in this University. A word of respectful admiration seems due to the liberality of the electors in bestowing this dignity for the second time in succession on a graduate of the sister University.
