Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Animadversions on the Library and Catalogues of the British Museum: A Reply to Mr. Panizzi's Statement; And a Correspondence With That Officer and the Trustees
Public money wasted, without striving to improve the one and prevent the other.
It has long been my opinion that the Regulations by which the Readers obtain books in the British Museum, are extremely inconvenient; and I had suffered so much from the impediments and delay, that I, as well as others, have been almost driven from the Library. I made no effort, however, on the subject, because I wished to abstain if possible, from another controversy with well-paid Function aries, and irresponsible Boards.
