Notes ^Ref: *11

In 1884 there are a number of letters from Anderson to King's College London, seeking appointment as an Evening Lecturer in English Literature. They include various testimonials including one which notes that it was decided that a defect in one eye (no impediment to his sight, it was later concluded) debarred him from being appointed to I.C.S in 1877.
