Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm, 490 pp, ills. This is a revised and enlarged edition of the work first published as "The parochial libraries of the Church of England", by Neil Ker. "The motives of those who established parochial libraries, both large and small, are sometimes tantalizingly obscure. The continuing education and improvement of the clergy is a recurring theme where information does exist, but it is also clear that, where conditions for lending survive, these collections were intended for a wider readership. Many of the books, as one would expect, are theological, but other subjects can be found. At Hatfield Broad Oak, for example, there are books on history, biography, medicine, philosophy and travel, and multilingual dictionaries. At Heathfield the collection includes books on classical scholarship, and works n agriculture, household management, carriers' timetables, heraldry and English literature. These were - and are - 'accessible' collections and we can only speculate today on their original use and influence." - from the foreword. Near Fine.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 8vo (25 cm), 490 pp. Publisher's cloth. Because of the unauthorized sale, loss, or deteriorating condition of parochial libraries in the 1930s and 1940s, a postal survey of surviving collections was undertaken which resulted in a detailed report and directory finally published under the general editorship of Neil Ker as The Parochial Libraries of the Church of England: Report of a Committee appointed by the Central Council for the Care of Churches to Investigate the Number and Condition of Parochial Libraries belonging to the Church of England, with a Historical Introduction, Notes on Early Printed Books and their Care and an Alphabetical List of Parochial Libraries Past and Present, by Faith Press in 1959.

The Directory in particular has been greatly expanded to include libraries established up to c. 1900, and, especially, a broad sample of what have come to be known as desk-libraries, with one or more pre-1700 prescribed books. Many of the reports, documents, and tables, including the historical introduction, have been reprinted in this new edition, edited and modified to take account of new developments and findings. A Postscript, 2000 briefly outlines research in this field over the last 50 years or so, and there are a number of new lists and tables, one including statistical information. The index is a key to the whole book and should be especially consulted for references to former owners and donors and subject strengths.
