[Offprint from the Derbyshire Advertiser.] The Bemrose Library of Derbyshire Books. | Important Letter from Lord Curzon. | The Scheme adopted.

4pp., 8vo. Bifolium. Good, on aged paper. Printed in small type. Curzon's letter, dated from Kedleston, 30 September 1913, is a long report, covering the first two pages of the document, describing his efforts to 'remove from the town and country the great reproach of losing a library devoted to Derbyshire persons and subjects' by securing it for the Borough of Derby. The third page of the document carries 'an appeal made by Lord Curzon of Kedleston to residents in the County and Borough of Derby', headed 'Lord Curzon and the Derby Free Library. | An Appeal to Derbyshire.' The last page is mostly taken up with a section titled 'The Bemrose Library. Interesting Details of a Unique Collection.' Scarce: no copy on COPAC or OCLC WorldCat. In 1914 the Bemrose Library was transferred to a purpose-built extension in Derby Library.
