URL opens, but it is not especially useful as the odd numbered pages are not displayed by Google books. I suppose it would be a good exercise to try to infer the missing information, but life is short and the way is long.

More useful was the Clarke Barron 1994 paper that states: Jeffrey's prior asymptotically maximizes the Shannon mutual information between a sample of size N and the parameter.

That agrees with my intuition.
