The imposing pavilions of the University of Virginia were now completed, and Francis Walker Gilmer was in England and Scotland to procure a college of professors worthy of public expectation, and to buy books and scientific apparatus. Yet the Rector of the University knew that much remained to be done before February 1, 1825, the date set for the opening of the University.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Library of the University of California Los Angeles In the preparation of the present text-book, the primary consideration has been its utility as a means of instruction. Opinions will differ as to the relative importance of the topics that had to be treated, and the proportion of space that ought to be assigned to different branches of the subject The writer has kept continually in view the circumstances of young people in Guilds and Bible-Classes; and, according to the best of his judgment, has given the information they are most likely to desire, in such a form as will neither perplex nor mislead them. References to larger works have been purposely omitted in an elementary handbook. Teachers of classes and directors of guilds, who, presumably, know whither to turn for fuller details, will be able to supplement what is here stated in outline, and will be guided by the circumstances of their pupils in the recommendation of other books.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Library of the University of California The morning train for London carries many travellers whose lives seem well ordered, early risers, well-to-do peo ple, outside the world of fashion, to whom the early morning is perhaps more en joyable than the late hours of the night. Of this number were my two chance com panions in our comfortable railway car riage, a gentleman and his wife. They both insisted on my smoking, the husband joining me in a cigar. This led to conver sation wherein I soon found by their ac cent that my new acquaintances were from the North Country, which naturally led to my reviving my Yorkshire days. My new friend was the proprietor of woollen mills, and entertained me by showing me samples of fine Cashmere wools and telling me much that was interesting regarding them. I gave his wife a small box of strawberries at Amiens, which pleased them both, and when we bade each other good-bye at Bou logue, it was not, I think, without a feel ing that we had all three appeared to ad vantage to each other.

Download or read book The Libraries of London written by Reginald Arthur Rye and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Libraries of London: A Guide for Students One of the duties laid upon the University of London by the Statutes of 1900 is that of organising, improving and extending higher education within the appointed radius of thirty miles from the University Building. Among the instruments essential to higher education few, if any, are more important than libraries; it is therefore appropriate that the University Librarian should have under taken the first attempt to bring together into one work information concerning the various libraries of the Metro polis. Not only is this information of great use to general readers who have no personal knowledge of the literary storehouses of London, as well as to those who find them selves bewildered by the number of these libraries and are unable to compare easily the different opportunities which they offer; but it will also be of great service to librarians and to the governing bodies of libraries if they desire to make their great resources more useful to students by some scheme of cc-operation. In the foundation and development of London libraries too little attention has been paid in the past to the resources which already existed. There is no doubt that a great deal of overlapping has taken place, and that money which has been Spent on unnecessary duplication might have been better devoted to filling certain lacunae which should never have been allowed to exist; especially in these days when improved means of communication render it easy for readers to visit any library in the Metro polis. The first step towards better organisation is to survey the present situation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
