Book Overview
A Second Letter to the Earl of Ellesmere on the Management of the Library of Printed Books in the British Museum is a book written by John Edward Gray in 1849. The book is a follow-up to Gray's first letter to the Earl of Ellesmere, which was published in 1844. In this second letter, Gray addresses the issues he raised in his first letter and provides further suggestions for the improvement of the British Museum's library of printed books. Gray was a zoologist and curator at the British Museum, and he had a keen interest in the management of the museum's library. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early history of the British Museum's library and the challenges faced by its curators in the mid-19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of libraries, museums, and the book trade in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
