Evidence:
1 October 1887: 'Henry [Layard, son-in-law] has given me the revises of a new book on his early travels, which Murray is about to bring out, and I have been reading them over to make any corrections that may strike me. I have gone through them carefully and found many errors. I don't think Spottiswoode prints as he ought to do.'
