Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces Thomas Bray's attempt to promote religious and general knowledge in the American colonies and at home in England. The author conceived of lending libraries and parochial libraries to encourage clergymen to settle in remote parishes, and to generally augment the availability of useful knowledge to all members of society. The author suggests that while it may be inaccurate to directly link Bray's libraries to the modern public library system in the United States, it is clear that his libraries foreshadowed these later developments, and were an important cultural influence in the American colonies of the period.
