MR. C. P. LUCAS to MR. H. J. MACKINDER.
MY DEAR MACKINDER,
[Answered by No. 184.]
Downing Street, September 10, 1907. I AM in receipt of your two letters of the 6th of September.* 2. The arrangement which you have provisionally made with Messrs. Newton and Company for placing in this country on sale the Indian edition of the lectures on the United Kingdom seems to me quite satisfactory, and I enclose a copy of the lettert which I have written to Messrs, Newton.
3. It is understood that you will receive a royalty of 25 per cent, on such receipts as accrue from the sale of the books after 10 per cent. has been taken by Messrs. Newton, and that you will receive 6 per cent. on the sale of the slides. You will annually account to the Committee through me and pay over to the Eastern Colonies fund with the Crown Agents 65 per cent. on the receipts of the sales of the books (after the 10 per cent, already mentioned has been deducted) and 6 per cent. on the sales of the slides.
4. You will take the necessary steps in connexion with the Crown Agents, to whom copy of this correspondence will be sent, for having the necessary number of copies of the book printed and for copyrighting such of the slides as are the property of the eastern colonies.
5. You will see that I have given Newton's the 1st of October as the annual date on which accounts are to be rendered.
6. I am answering the rest of your letter separately as it deals with expenditure from the Princess of Wales's fund.

(Extract.)
September 12, 1907.
I hope it will before long be possible to have a year's course (each) of lectures on Canada, Australia, and British Africa. These would fit in with ordinary school work, the rest of the continents (Africa and North America) being studied in less detail. This is only a rough idea, but I feel sure of this, the lectures must be made so that they will fit in with an ordinary school course and not be excrescences, otherwise, do what one will, the average schoolmaster will drop them.

September 20, 1907.
I HAVE been away in Scotland, or would have acknowledged before now the receipt of your letters of the 10th instant.*
2. I now agree to the arrangements with regard to the placing on sale in this country of the Indian edition of the lectures on the United Kingdom as stated in your letter of the 10th instantt which contains six numbered paragraphs.
3. These arrangements are, of course, dependent on the acceptance of your offer by Messrs. Newton and Company, a copy of which, dated the 10th September,‡ you enclosed in your letter to me. I understand from Messrs. Newton and Company that they are replyings to you accepting that offer.
