Feeding the mind.
AUTHOR/CREATOR
Dodgson, Charles
NOTES
Off-print or proof from an unknown magazine. Until this piece was found in the scrapbook, it was thought that Dodgson's paper on "Feeding the Mind" only existed in manuscript. Dodgson gave a public lecture on this topic at Alfreton, Derbyshire, in October 1884, for the Rev. William Henry Draper (1855-1933) and Mrs Draper (formerly known to Dodgson as Charlotte Edith Denman (1855-1884) before her marriage to Mr. Draper). Mr. Draper was given the manuscript after Dodgson' talk, and he published it in 1907. This off-print appears to pre-date the manuscript - clearly written out by Dodgson for his visit to Alfreton with the express purpose of giving it to vicar. The off-print contains a manuscript correction in violet ink, dating it after October 1870. A search of magazines that Dodgson contributed to has failed to find this in published form, and it is possible that it only exists in this "proof" version. See also Feeding the Mind, A Centenary Celebration of Lewis Carroll's Visit to Alfreton in 1884 by Selwyn H. Goodacre (privately printed, 1984).
