Parliamentary legislative draftsman (1841-1924), Benjamin Jowett's literary executor. Three pages, 12mo. Very good, with traces of glue to blank verso of second leaf of bifoliate. Docketed in pencil. 'Miss Flora Shaw has asked me whether I could send you an early copy of the paper which I am to read at the Imperial Institute to-morrow afternoon. | The paper has not been printed, & the only spare copy which I have is the rouggh copy from which I had another typed for my own use. | I fear that this is very illegible. [sic] [...] | My chief desire is to direct public attention to a subject which is I think of some practical importance, & to see whether something could not be done to supply our need of systematic & accessible information. | [...]'. Signed 'C P Ilbert'.
