Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from History of the Belfast Library and Society for Promoting Knowledge, Commonly Known as the Linen Hall Library: Chiefly Taken From the Minutes of the Society, and Published in Connection With the Centenary Celebration in 1888
The author's original intention had been to prefix to this History a sketch of the state of the town and neighbourhood at the eventful period in which the Society was first established. But it was thought better to confine the work within its proper limits, and only remind the reader, as occasion arose, of the stirring events in which many of its early supporters were themselves participators.
The first part of the History, down to 1800, describing the origin and early proceed ings of the Society, anterior to its settlement in the Linen Hall, has been arranged in short chapters, dealing with the various subjects connected with that period. The second part has been arranged in the form of annals, presenting under each year the principal matters recorded in the Minutes. Lists of members have been given at various periods of the Society's history, and a large number of personal notes have been added, although it has been deemed better not to continue these beyond a date where they relate to individuals now living. In the Appendix will be found a considerable amount of statistical and other information which could not be conveniently embodied in the text.
In conclusion, the author begs to tender his sincere thanks to those who have assisted him in his labours; and trusts that the possession of this book by the members of the Society whose history it commemorates may be valued, not for its own merits, but as a record of one of the best and most successful enterprises of our loyal and progressive town.
