This monumental 1859 book describes the evolution of libraries in Britain, Europe and America from antiquity to the mid-nineteenth century. It examines numerous ecclesiastical, university and civic libraries, and concludes with the author's views on all aspects of library management, focusing particularly on the municipal libraries he fervently promoted.
