From an internet posting: "F. J. Hudleston was educated at Newton College, Newton Abbot, where, I think, he was contemporary with Sir Arthur Quiller Couch. He became an assistant at the British Museum about the year 1890. A few years later the Intelligence Department of the War Office required an Assistant Librarian. Application was made to Dr. Richard Garnett, then Keeper of Printed Books. He recommended Hudleston, who took up his duties, first at the Library in Queen Anne's Gate, then at Winchester House, St. James's Square, and finally at the new War Office in Whitehall. In 1902 he became Principal Librarian, and he was working at the Library within a few weeks of his death on November 29th, 1927.", John Castle, 1925, 2, New., 6<
