In some ways the popularity of John Fowles is surprising. His two best‐sellers,
The Magus and The French Lieutenant's Woman, exemplify strengths and weaknesses
unusual in so widely‐read a writer. His virtues shade into his faults. His
uncompromising determination to write the kind of novel that interests him,
regardless of the expectations of his readership, has made each of his books
excitingly d... hiện toàn bộ
DAVID HERBERT (1830–99), classical tutor, journalist and aficionado of
eighteenth‐century literature and history, was born on 15 April 1830 in Glasgow,
at the home of his parents on Castle Street. He spent his early life in Glasgow
where his father, James Herbert, worked in a shop.
BEFORE MISUNDERSTANDING OCCUR I should explain at once that this essay has
nothing whatsoever to do with the latest esoteric theories of library
management. It concerns the rather more gentle art, or science, of collecting
picture postcards of libraries. An innocuous pastime, you will agree, and one

year James Duff Brown, Librarian of the adjoining borough of Finsbury, was
appointed first Chief Librarian (at a salary of £300 per annum) and a programme
for the erection of library buildings was planned. Following an architectural
competition, Islington Central Library opened its doors in October 1907.
As our plane roared away from Los Angeles, circled over the Pacific and turned
inland over the mountains, I began to wonder in what respects the Midwinter
Meeting of the American Library Association might differ from our British
conferences. It was a bright sunny day at the end of January this year and the
desert stretched endlessly beneath us. My speculations were eventually
interrupted by the si... hiện toàn bộ
IF you are as tired hearing about the function of the library as we
teacher‐librarians are of hearing about the function of the school I shall do
well not to make any reference to it: for it seems that if there is a wave of
juvenile crime, the school is not fulfilling its function: if business men
cannot get typists to add and spell accurately, the school is not fulfilling its
function: if road ac... hiện toàn bộ
