Synopsis
This book, published in 1909, was the first attempt to comprehensively survey and review the state of libraries in London and remains an important historical source for those researching the topic. It contains a description of each library, and insights into the kinds of collections held in London's libraries at the beginning of the 20th century. The author, Reginald A. Rye, was a librarian at the University of London, and the book was commissioned by the University's senate, so it is particularly informative on the state of academic and research libraries in London at the time. Many of the libraries discussed in the book still exist today, and the author's insights into their history and significance are invaluable.
