Item description from seller

Drophead title. Folded as issued. 4pp. An anonymously written pamphlet, headed 'Private'. Forster offers to leave his books and manuscripts to the Fund with an endowment to provide an alternative Public Library, provided that the Society is reformed along the lines suggested by the 1855 Committee with a new Charter. The offer was refused and Forster's celebrated Library went to what is now the Victoria and Albert Museum.
