The Book of British Topography: A Classified Catalogue of the Topographical Works in the Library of the British Museum Relating to Great Britain and Irland (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Book of British Topography: A Classified Catalogue of the Topographical Works in the Library of the British Museum Relating to Great Britain and Irland

The great and abiding interest with which the English-speaking races regard the localities in these islands that are associated with historical events, with famous men, or with their own immediate ancestry, precludes the necessity of any apology for an undertaking, the object of which is to provide, in a convenient form, a guide to the vast collection of Topo graphical Books relating to Great Britain and Ireland now preserved in the National Library.

The urgent need of a work Of this character has long been felt not only by the frequenters of the Reading Room of the British Museum, but, judging from the numerous letters received from all parts of the country, by those who, living at a distance, wish to learn what books the Museum contains relating to the places in which they are personally interested.
