=Press Opinions.=

"This is a handbook which tells the reader everything about public
libraries, great and small, in the United Kingdom.... The book is
decidedly one of the best arranged volumes ever published, and there
is no doubt that the editor has been at great pains to obtain the
latest and most accurate information from all places. County,
district and parish councils, ministers of religion, and
schoolmasters everywhere should make themselves acquainted with its
contents. Its perusal cannot fail to serve the ends of the library
movement. The illustrations, of which there is a large number, are
very good."--_Western (Cardiff) Mail._
