Anthony Panizzi (1797–1879) moved to England in 1823 to avoid arrest for his political activities. His thirty-five years at the British Museum Library transformed it to one of the world's great institutions. This two-volume 1880 biography deals with his professional career and his involvement in the Italian independence movement.
