Remarks on Public Libraries: From the North American Review for July 1850
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough analysis of large public libraries in both Europe and the United States. It offers a detailed comparison of the number and accessibility of libraries in various countries, showing that England ranked below most of its continental neighbors and that the United States had the lowest provision of books in libraries. The author argues that this disparity stems from a misconception of what constitutes a satisfactory collection. Many believe that only the best books or those on the most important subjects are needed, but the author contends that seemingly insignificant works can provide valuable historical insights. The book advocates for libraries that contain everything that has ever been published to preserve even the smallest and least valuable materials, as they may prove essential for future research. This work highlights the importance of large and comprehensive libraries to fostering intellectual culture and advancing knowledge, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the history and future of libraries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332423743_0
