PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED with 44 full page black-and-white plates of Beinecke holdings with accompanying descriptive captions. From the 'Introduction to the Collections' by Louis L. Martz, Director: "all this manifold assemblage springs, at heart, from mankind's love and curiosity for words shaped into living forms by an earlier mind. Letters, diaries, poems, novels, dramas, sermons, newspapers, histories, treatises of every kind await the reader who, like the poet Williams, can lend life to the past and transmit life to the future. "All such knowledge in the mind of man," says St. Augustine, "whether acquired through the mind itself, or through his bodily senses, or by the testimony of others, is preserved in the store-chamber of memory; and from it is begotten a true word, when we speak what we know." It is a good definition of a rare book and manuscript library: a store-house of memory, from which true words arise, when we speak what we know. The following pages will describe and illustrate the various kinds of knowledge preserved for use in the Beinecke Library." 112 pages. GH2.
