(Sir Frederic George, 1863-1952, Director and Principal Librarian of the British Museum 1909-1930, President of the British Academy 1917-1921)
Autograph Letter Signed to 'Dear Madam',
commenting that "Obviously, two lectures ... in the same room simultaneously ... are merely mutually destructive; and it will be necessary to make some regulation to this effect", he does not wish "to discriminate between the usefulness of the Official Guide's lectures, and those of ... such as yourself, who have more special audiences; but as the Guide has to work to a [public] time-table", he thinks he "should have precedence" to the extent of not admitting a second class to the same room, or half of the Egyptian gallery, "In the case of two independent lecturers colliding, I think the rule can only be 'first come, first served' " and asks "if ... regulations on these lines would meet the difficulty", 4 sides 8vo, British Museum, W.C., 20th January
