Printed wrappers, 8vo, 78 pp. From the foreword by Raymond Irwin: "The three lectures here printed were delivered for the School of Librarianship and Archives at University College London in February and March 1957. They form part of a series of lectures on the history of English libraries which have been arranged at intervals in the last few years. No attempt is made to give a complete picture of English libraries in the first half of the nineteenth century, but each of these lectures dwells on an outstanding figure in this period: Dr Oldman writes on Sir Anthony Panizzi and his work for the British Museum; Mr Munford discusses Dr George Birkbeck and his interest in the Mechanics' Institutes; and Mr Nowell-Smith is concerned with Carlyle and the foundation of the London Library. The lectures are printed much as they were delivered." Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-47310
