Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Oxford Libraries
I have to thank Mr. F. Karslake for permission to enlarge and republish in its present i'onn an article on Oxford Libraries which appeared in Book Audio Recorder (vol. Viii, pt. The Provost of Queen's for kind] conducting me through his College Library, emf giving me the benefit of his deep knowledge; and my colleagues Mr. G. W. Wheeler and Mr. A. H. Kebby for their kindness in reading the proofsmnd making many valuable suggestions. The Clarendon Press has supplied three illustrations: Mr. H. Minn, a member of the Oxford Camera Club, a like number; and Mr. Herbert Batsford has generously allowed me to reproduce the view of Corpus Library from Mr. Vallance's Oxford Colleges. The remaining illustrations are by my friend Mr. Herbert J. Timms, to whom I um much indebted for his determined and successful efforts to produce photographs worthy of their subjects. Lastly, to Bodley's Librarian and to several College Librarians I have to record my gratitude for privileges accorded me from time to time during a period of many years.
