Sinossi
Excerpt from The Free Library
As have been for a time neglected, the peculiarities Of particular copies, or extraordinary prices realised at sales. That this curiosity exists, the columns Of the press afford daily evidence. It is clear that the schoolmaster has been abroad to some purpose, and that one Of the results Of his mission has been the awakening Of an intelligent interest, not merely in the producers and distributors Of books, but in the history, the commercial value, the ex ternal semblance, and the fitting treatment Of the volumes themselves.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive history of free libraries in the United Kingdom, tracing their origins from medieval libraries through to the development of free public libraries in the 19th century. The author examines the motivations behind the establishment of libraries, the challenges they faced, and their impact on society. The evolution of library legislation is explored, from the Museums Act of 1845 to the Public Libraries Acts of 1850 and beyond. The book sheds light on the key figures who championed the free library movement, such as Edward Edwards and William Ewart, and highlights the role of libraries in promoting literacy, education, and intellectual development. By situating the history of free libraries within the broader context of social and cultural change, this book offers valuable insights into the transformative power of access to knowledge for all.
