Eliot's note to line 411 mentions Appearance and Reality (1893) by F[rancis] H[erbert] Bradley, the British philosopher (1846-1924.)

While in England Eliot wrote his Ph.D. dissertation for Harvard on Bradley (1916). He did not formally defend his dissertation as he was leery of making the Atlantic crossing because of German submarine activity. The dissertation was finally published under the name of Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F.H. Bradley (London: Faber, 1964)
