Dear Sir,

Of recent works anent the Philippines I only am acquainted with three worth mentioning: one, Jagor's, published by Chapman and Hall;1 another, Semper's six lectures, in German, read before the Geographical Society at Berlin: lastly the Consular Reports, published in the yearly Blue Books, beginning from 1866.

I have none of these by me here, or would willingly place them at your [2] disposition: but MacMillan, (who is, I suppose, your Publisher) could, I doubt not, easily procure them for you.

From Spanish publications, though often inexact, much may be collected worth noting. But I am sorry that, having no house or home of my own in England, all my books are stored away at to. S. King & Co in the City, nor can be got at without difficulty and loss of time.

With much regard I remain ever yours very faithfully | W. G. Palgrave2 [signature].

Jagor, Fedor. 1875. Travels in the Philippines. London: Chapman and Hall.
Palgrave, William Gifford (1826-1888). British Arabic scholar, traveller and diplomatist.
