"But the step of most importance which he took as colonial secretary was probably the preparation of a circular dispatch, which he sent in April 1905 [April 20] to the self-governing Dominions, pointing the way to the development of what aterwards became the Imperial Conference. It is described ... as 'a dispatch which no one who traces or reads the growth of imperial unity can ever leave out of sight.'" (Dictionary of National Biography)
