[The following notes, from a MS. of Headlam's, now published by permission of the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press, give the substance of a lecture which Headlam delivered in Cambridge but did not publish, though some account of it is given in the memoir by Mr. Cecil Headlam (pp. 55–7). A few verbal alterations have been made for the sake of clearness and some references added.—GEORGE THOMSON].
