Excerpt from The Beginnings of Libraries A considerable mass of memoranda on the early history of libraries has been gathered by the author of this essay during the last twenty-five years, and out of this material various essays have been published from time to time on Antediluvian Libraries, Medieval Libraries, Some Old Egyptian Librarians, etc. The fact that the unworked mass of modern information through excavations is so great as to put off for a long time still a systematic treatise, has led to the plan of publishing these essays and addresses from time to time as completed and in uniform style.

A Brief Outline of the History of Libraries is written by Justus Lipsius, a Belgian philologist and humanist who wrote several books capitalizing on his love of philosophy and his penchant for detailed explorations of philosophical thought. This particular book, however, highlights a completely different interest of Lipsius' his passion for the cultivation of knowledge and the historic collection of ancient texts. This book is a great asset for readers interested in the origins of the modern library, for those that have an intense love of books, or even those who have worked in libraries and can appreciate the history of this hallowed institution. For Lipsius, the word library can describe three very different things: a place where books are kept, a physical bookcase, or books themselves. Lipsius' ode to libraries begins with an exploration of the history of the book, more specifically printed text, and how it rose to become a prevalent mode of communication in the modern world. Lipsius then explains how individuals began to collect these printed texts and store them in their homes, generally on aptly named "bookshelves." As printed texts became more and more mainstream and the intrinsic value of the book became a known commodity, groups or organizations quickly followed to collect, organize, and store said materials: what is known today as a library. Justus Lipsius' book A Brief Outline of the History of Libraries holds a considerable amount of information on the beginning of the printed word and the creation of libraries. This is an interesting read for anyone interested in the history of books, and especially people who have utilized or worked in libraries. This is a beginner book which sets solid groundwork for a more detailed exploration into the history of libraries.

Excerpt from The Story of Libraries and Book-Collecting Readers, especially if they be librarians, will look for an apology from a writer who dares to follow in the footsteps of Edward Edwards. But there is some justification. Memoirs of Libraries is out of print, and expensive to buy second-hand while in some parts it is not up to date. A summary history, published at a popular price, seemed necessary for the elementary student and the general reader, and I have attempted to provide it.

Excerpt from Liverpool Public Libraries: A History of Fifty Years Public Libraries Act of 1850, a strong feeling had grown up, among thoughtful and enlightened men interested in the cause of education, that the lack of public collections of books in the great centres of population, helpful to all classes of students, was a matter which called for speedy remedy. Our working classes it was felt, were too self-satisfied with the lead they had hitherto taken in trade and manufactures, and that if that lead was to be maintained, greater technical knowledge and political wisdom was not only desirable but essential.

Excerpt from The Library in Colonial New York Inasmuch as nothing more than brief outlines had ever been published concerning early Library development in New York, and investigation at once revealing the perpetuation of error and confusion, the writer determined to add an introductory chapter to cover, so far as possible, this neglected ground.
