HARPER LONDON : GEORGE ALLEN 1898 GENERAL INTRODUCTION THE present age has received divers epithets, mostly uncomplimentary. If ever defined as the Age of Gold, this has by no means been intended in the ancient sense of an age of primitive innocence and simplicity. It has been styled the Age of Steam, the Age of Veneer, and the Age of Talk. As these dis- paraging epithets have, all been affixed by itself, it may occur to some that the Age of Modesty, or at least of Penitence, might not be an inappropriate and after we do not designation ; all, apprehend that future ages will consider it so very inferior to most of its predecessors, and are sure that it will be universally preferred to the Ages of Darkness. With these, at least, it has nothing in common. To call it the Age of Light were presumptuous, but an Age of Light it assuredly is, and, did we seek for a name, we should be inclined to entitle it the Age of Books. Not merely that there never before were so many books in the world, or that there never was a time when books and news- were so read or so influential papers widely ; but that there never before was so much interest and curiosity respecting the makers of books, authors the emitters of books, publishers or the 511187 vi GENERAL INTRODUCTION custodians of books, librarians. This curiosity, frequently frivolous and annoying, bears testimony, at all events, to the place which literature has taken, not merely in fact, but in general apprehension, among the agencies which mould the world. She always has had this place in effect ever since hieroglyphical writing passed into alphabetical, but the man of the world has been singularly uncon- scious of the agency by which its course was in large measure determined. Alexander has been conspicuous, Aristotle has been overlooked. Now the attention paid to authorship in all its forms shows that mankind has become aware that its destinies may be much affected by what some unknown young man is at the present moment scribbling in a garret. Those \vho have especially interested themselves in education, among whom librarians are to be reckoned, may justly regard this general percep- tion as a proof that their efforts have not been in vain. Before men can be interested in trifling details about authors, they must have conceived an interest in books which certainly did not exist in the eighteenth century. The more trivial the gossip and it is often most provokingly so the greater the evidence of a demand. And this testi- mony is corroborated when curiosity is found to pass beyond the persons of authors, and to com- themselves prise inquisitiveness respecting books ; whether evinced by curiosity respecting particular copies or editions, or by such particulars as the circulation of successful books, the rarity of such GENERAL INTRODUCTION Vll as have been for a time neglected, the peculiarities of particular copies, or extraordinary prices realised at sales. That this curiosity exists, the columns of the press afford daily evidence. It is clear that the schoolmaster has been abroad to some purpose, and that one of the results of his mission has been the awakening of an intelligent interest, not merely in the producers and distributors of books, but in the history, the commercial value, the ex- ternal semblance, and the fitting treatment of the volumes themselves. The individual book has been ably dealt with of late in monographs referring to the subject of Bibliography. The object of the little series now introduced to the public is to deal with the Book, not so much individually, but collectively, in the aggregated form w7 hich is called the Library. Bibliography is neither excluded from the volumes already arranged, nor proscribed as the theme of volumes which may succeed. But it is believed that the most profitable and generally acceptable information which can be given to the public in the first instance is that which relates to the books of the public, the collections which are the property of the entire community, and in whose general administration every citizen should feel interested. Provision has accordingly been made for free libraries in particular. The scheme includes a complete account of the history of the establish- ment of free libraries in the United Kingdom, including the National Library, with particular de- tails of the progress of the more important, and a viii GENERAL INTRODUCTION brief exposition of the legislation by which they are for a discussion on governed ; practical library architecture, illustrated with numerous illustrations of libraries and and a library appurtenances ; manual of the leading points in library administra- tion. These little treatises, it is hoped, will be found practically useful by all interested in libraries, and more especially in free libraries, whether practically concerned in their management as librarians or committee men, or merely frequenters and well- wishers. Another volume, dealing mainly with the prices of books, besides its practical utility to purchasers, illustrates a very interesting nook of literary history. Other volumes may not improb- ably follow. Undertaken, as has been explained, in deference *to what appeared the growing popu- lar interest in books and everything pertaining to them, the series, it is hoped, may contribute something to raising the general estimate of the importance of the librarian's office, and the status to which the faithful discharge of its duties entitles him. We have got long past the days when the librarian was defined as "a harmless drudge," and the few posts in his profession worth having were employed to satisfy embarrassing claims on the dispensers of patronage. Much yet remains to be accomplished before the position which the librarian might, and ought to, occupy is sufficiently recognised either by the community in general or the profession itself. Any approxima- tion towards it is doubly welcome, as an index both to an improved appreciation of the supreme GENERAL INTRODUCTION IX importance of knowledge on the part of the public, and to an elevation of the ideals of librarians themselves. The more generous recognition of their services which it is their ambition to obtain can only be insured by a steady increase in the value of these services, and the librarian will be honoured not as the mere distributor of an inferior class of literature, but in proportion as he approves himself a dispenser of information and enlighten- ment, and a guide qualified to direct the popular taste for reading. R. GARNETT. PREFACE THE aim of this work is sufficiently indicated by the title-page and table of contents. The Library per se is its subject, hence only incidental notice has been taken of library buildings and library these are dealt administration ; moreover, subjects with in other books of the same series. The infor- mation as far as possible has been gathered at first hand but for the Hansard's Parlia- ; early history mentary Debates, the various Returns concerning Public Libraries presented to Parliament, old news- papers and reports have been diligently searched. The publications of the Library Association, and in particular The Library, edited by Mr. J. Y. W. MacAlister, have been of the greatest use for the facts they have furnished. Other sources of infor- mation are indicated in the work itself. The most conflicting statements are in print, especially re- garding the dates of local adoptions of the Public Libraries Acts. Great care has been taken to ascertain the true dates, and these have been given as precisely as could be ascertained in the limits of time set for the preparation of this work. My thanks for special assistance in my researches are due, and are hereby tendered, to Mr. Peter Xll PREFACE Cowell, librarian of the Liverpool Free Public Libraries, and to Mr. Thomas Formby, the sub- librarian also to the lib- ; Mr. C. W. Sutton, city rarian of Manchester, and to Mr. W. R. Credland, deputy chief librarian of the same city. To Mr. Charles Madeley of the Warrington Museum I am indebted for access to various monumental docu- ments of the early days of the movement, and for tfce loan of certain blue-books. Mr. F. T. Barrett, librarian of the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, and Mr. W. E. Doubleday, librarian of the Hampstead Public Libraries, have assisted me with informa- tion for Chapter XIII.; and I have also to thank Mr. T. W. Lyster, librarian of the National Library of Ireland, for valuable assistance and suggestions during the reading of the proofs. Finally, my hearty thanks are tendered to the librarians and secretaries of libraries who answered my long list of questions, and wrhose names are recorded in the statistical tables of the Appendix. Without their valued aid this work could not have been written. In such a work as this, errors of fact are very apt to in with a view to their amendment in a creep ; second edition, the author will be glad to receive any duly authenticated corrections.

  • WILLIAM BLAKE, [April
    198 WILLIAM BLAKE, [April, William Blake. By HUBERT J. NORMAN, M.B., Ch.B., D.P.H.Edin., Assistant Medical Officer,Camberwell House, S.E. I. THE association between the artistic temperament and eccen tricity has frequently been noted, and in the lives of Turner, Vanclyck, Michael Angelo, Benvenuto Cellini, Morland, Romney, Maclise, Landseer, Haydon, Cosway, and many others there is much to support Nisbet's contention that " nerve-disorder is a fundamental element of genius in relation to colour and form." To the list already given, the name of William Blake may fittingly be added, for, just as some of those named at times passed the boundary which separates sanity from insanity, so most certainly did Blake also cross the borderland. It does not, of course, follow that because those attributes which are usually associated with the term genius are so fre quently found in conjunction with unsound mental action that they, therefore, arise from the nerve-disorder ; rather is it that they both proceed from a nervous system in a condition of unstable equilibrium, which may either exhibit complex reactions in the production of some work of high intellectual grade, or tend at other times to display those irregular functionings which are termed eccentric or insane. That conduct'of an eccentric or even of an insane nature has been observed in many artists is undoubted ; indeed, so frequently has such conduct been noted that some writers have inferred that eccentricity is an invariable concomitant of the artistic temperament. The tendency to caricature is, however, very widespread ; that which is a prominent trait in such writers as Dickens, Swift, Cervantes, or Heine, or of such artists as Hogarth, Jan Steen, Cruickshank, or Teniers, is no less notice able a feature of all but a few—avery few—people.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

Virginia Woolf October 1924, the first English translation of The Life of the Archpriest Avvakum, a 17th century Russian text, was published to good reviews as the 41st imprint of The Hogarth Press.1 Avvakum joined an already impressive list of Russian titles at Hogarth, the press founded and managed by Leonard and Virginia Woolf.2 November 1926, the young publishing firm - The Nonesuch Press - issued its 35th publication, The Book of the Bear.3 Nonesuch shared neither Hogarth’s interest in Russian texts nor new authors.4 The Book of the Bear is the only translation from the Russian and one of only three children’s books among Nonesuch’s first hundred titles. Avvakum and The Book of the Bear were anomalous ventures for both these private Presses, differing though their practices and objectives were. This essay charts the course of their translator - classical archeologist turned historical anthropologist - Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928), and her role in facilitating a connection between the worlds of privileged Bloomsbury and impoverished Russian refugees.5 The story of how these charming, diminutive books came into the world offers a glimpse into the stark divergence between the social reality of Britain - sometimes viewed as relatively unchanged after the horrors of the Great War 6 - and that of the Russian intellectuals living in what they still believed to be a temporary exile after the cataclysmic events of revolution and civil war.

JEL: L14, L26, O33, N24, N83 Correspondence details: Steven Toms Professor of Accounting, Leeds University Business School Room 2.09, Maurice Keyworth Building University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT Tel: 44(113)-3434456 Email: [email protected] Word count: c.11,000 Abstract The paper considers the dual aspect of social networks in terms of 1) product innovators and developers and 2) the providers of finance. The growth of networks can be explained as a function of incumbents and entrants’ preferences to link with specific nodes defined according to the underlying duality. Such preferences can be used to explain network evolution and growth dynamics in the cotton textile industry, from being the first sector to develop in the industrial revolution through to its maturity. The network preference approach potentially explains several features of the long run industry life cycle: 1. The early combination of innovators with access to extensive credit networks, protected by entry barriers determined by pre-existing network structures, leading to lower capital costs for incumbents and rapid productivity growth, c.1780-1830.
