Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Libraries of London: A Guide for Students One of the duties laid upon the University of London by the Statutes of 1900 is that of organising, improving and extending higher education within the appointed radius of thirty miles from the University Building. Among the instruments essential to higher education few, if any, are more important than libraries; it is therefore appropriate that the University Librarian should have undertaken the first attempt to bring together into one work information concerning the various libraries of the Metropolis. Not only is this information of great use to general readers who have no personal knowledge of the literary storehouses of London, as well as to those who find themselves bewildered by the number of these libraries and are unable to compare easily the different opportunities which they offer; but it will also be of great service to librarians and to the governing bodies of libraries if they desire to make their great resources more useful to students by some scheme of co-operation. In the foundation and development of London libraries too little attention has been paid in the past to the resources which already existed. There is no doubt that a great deal of overlapping has taken place, and that money which has been spent on unnecessary duplication might have been better devoted to filling certain lacunae which should never have been allowed to ∃ especially in these days when improved means of communication render it easy for readers to visit any library in the Metropolis. The first step towards better organisation is to survey the present situation. Before the appearance of Mr. Rye´s book there was, so far as I am aware, no publication which contained a complete or reliable survey of this nature, and his venture seems to have meta real demand. The additional matter which he has incorporated in the second edition has transformed the modest guide into a considerable handbook and renders it even more useful to the student. Much care has also been bestowed on the illustrations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
