The Leeds Library

Abstract

Discusses the foundation of Leeds Library in 1768 (which was a time of expansion in the wider world) and its founders. Describes the subsequent history and growth of the library, and of its librarians. Briefly indicates the present healthy state of the library which it attributes to the position of the library in the centre of Leeds and the will of the proprietors for it to survive.
