This pamphlet, 'Broken Gleams' was written by C Wilson and published in 1873, about three years after the institution opened. It also contains a short conclusion by the Chairman of the Central Committee, Dr. Edward D. de Vitre and its Secretary, James Diggens. It describes the ethos and the work of the Royal Albert in a very positive tone, apparently aimed at potential and necessary subscribers, given its voluntary status.
