Description:
George Allen & Unwin, 1964 8vo (22 cm), 296 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly frayed at extremities, collector's blind stamp and label on the front free endpaper, tipped in bookplate).

Book. Good. Binding see description. London, 1964. 296pp. Bibliography. Index. Cloth. Dustjacket.*Professor Raymond Irwin here continues his studies of the history of libraries which he began... in The Origins of the English Library. His particular interests are in the social and intellectual background against which libraries have prospered, the roots in the classical and medieval periods from which they have sprung, the continuity of the library tradition from Artistotle to the present day, and its close association with the progress of education and scholarship. His final chapters are concerned with the evidences of literarcy and the reading habit amongst English men and women in the fifteenth-eighteenth centuries, and with the low emergence of the domestic library and of the study in English homes... 0.
