DIGEST OF THE EVIDENCE OF EDWARDS BEFORE THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES OF 1849 AND 1850. But, besides the Libraries for the learned, and for those who aspire to become learned, other collections are needed for readers. of a class to whom such an ambition is unknown. And, in this path, Englishmen may fairly boast that they have rather set an example than waited to follow one. The task was not easy, but those who worked at it--with many shortcomings--had the one merit which often repairs defect, and ekes out small means, --they persevered, in spite of obstacles. --Libraries and Founders of Libraries. These Parliamentary inquiries must ever stand out as the charter of the public library movement. They may be ancient history now, but it is necessary for the sake of completeness to look closely at Edwards' place in the work of the committees. It may never again be necessary to tell the story, but the reader is asked to kindly bear with the recording of it on the present occasion. The first letter from William Ewart to Edwards, among the correspondence in the Manchester Reference Library, is dated 1st February, 1838, and is about some foreign returns respecting institutions of art. During the same month Ewart asks for Edwards' help in using some canvassing cards. Exactly what these were is not clear. The correspondence was continued at intervals, and on 23rd August, 1848, Ewart wrote to Edwards: -- Observing that you have made a valuable contribution to the Statistical Journal on the subject of public libraries, and having myself made motions on the same subject several years ago in the House of Commons, I am induced to write to you respecting it. . . . I believe that libraries freely open to the nation (as on the continent) would..

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edward Edwards: The Chief Pioneer of Municipal Public Libraries To Dr. Richard Garnett, c.b., I am indebted for the active and sympathetic interest with which he has followed this undertaking throughout. He has also been good enough to read the proof sheets. To Mr. James Duff Brown, Librarian of the Finsbury Public Libraries, my thanks are given for the compilation of the index. I am grateful to those who have sent me letters received from Edwards. Should this little volume serve in any measure to aid in securing for Edward Edwards the recognition due to his splendid services in the cause of education and librarianship, its sole purpose will be accomplished. His memory deserves to be held in everlasting remem brance among the great mass of users of municipal public libraries. TO Edwards I owe much of the stimulus which led to an increased activity in the public library movement. The year of his death saw the issue of my first writing upon the subject, and what then became to me an interesting hobby remains the same after the lapse of years. Edwards is to me as a library father, and ifi can cultivate but a fraction of his enthusiasm and able advocacy of municipal libraries, I shall be content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important figure in the establishment of free libraries in the United Kingdom, Edward Edwards (1812-1886) wrote this study, first published in 1869, as a handbook intended for promoters and managers of free town libraries. The book outlines the formation and workings of public libraries, beginning with British examples and proceeding to compare the British experience with libraries abroad, especially in America. Edwards presents strong evidence of the increasing number, and improving management, of libraries at this time, and also stresses the strikingly diverse circumstances under which libraries in the United Kingdom and abroad were established. The volume is an important historical document in library studies, and a testimony to Edwards' commitment and contribution to the free library movement which have been an inspiration to later generations of professional librarians.
