Abstract
THE material for the first edition of this handbook was collected in 1907 at the time when the Senate of the University of London was occupied with the task of organising, co-ordinating, and developing the libraries under its control. Accurate informa tion was needed of the great resources offered by the libraries of the metropolis, and the small book of 76 pages published in 1908 was the first attempt to collect this information into a single volume. The present, much enlarged edition may be taken as some indication of the usefulness of the work.
The Student's Guide to the Libraries of London: with an Account of the most Important Archives and other Aids to Study.
By Reginald Arthur Rye. Third edition, revised and enlarged. Pp. xxv + 581 + 61 plates. (London: University of London Press, Ltd., 1927.) 10s. net.
