Cloth, gilt cover-title and rubric "Issued for Presentation", 8vo, xxxviii, 232 pp. A first publication by Thomas Greenwood of the substantial unpublished material left by the great Victorian librarian and "Founder of the Modern Public Library Movement" Edward Edwards on his death in poverty in 1885. Grenwood prepared this volume as a tribute to Edwards and distributed free copies to those who had subscribed for Edwards'book - none were distributed for sale. Contents: Part 1. The libraries of the Middle Ages : with brief notices of the later history of some mediaeval libraries which survived until present or recent times, and also of some existing monastic libraries of later times. Includes a reproduction of the title-page of the planned second edition: "Memoirs of libraries, of museums; and of archives; (public and private); and of some of their chief founders, collectors, keepers, and benefactors. Part 1. Mediaeval -- Pt. 2. Modern". Spine-ends worn, otherwise Good. Laid in is a printed slip from Thomas Greenwood presenting the copy and informing the addressee "it is intended for yourself, and not for the Library with which you are associated".…
