UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

Librarian: JOHN SAMPSON, M.A.

Assistant Librarian: T. H. GRAHAM

Class Libraries' Assistant: J. Glyn Davies

Junior Assistant: STANLEY CALDWELL

The nucleus of the present collection of books originated in a gift of about 1,000 volumes presented by the Rev. Canon Hume in 1882. Enriched by generous private donations the library soon outgrew the space allotted to it, and ampler provision for expansion was made in the Tate Library of the New Victoria Building. This room, 100 feet long by 30 feet wide, was built and furnished by Sir Henry Tate, whose name is permanently associated with it. It is decorated by busts of Sir Henry Tate, William Rathbone, the Rev. Charles Beard, Dr. G. H. Rendall, and Sir Oliver Lodge, and by the Shadford Walker collection of engravings, purchased and presented to the library by Sir Henry Tate in 1889.

The foundations of a good general library were laid by purchases from a terminable fund of £1,000 given by Mr. George Holt in 1887, and from a gift of £5,500 for immediate expenditure by Sir Henry Tate in 1894. The libraries of Canon Hume, Professor Clark, the Rev. J. H. Thom (including the books of Blanco White), Dr. Nottingham, and Thomas Glazebrook Rylands, were acquired by bequests, and relations with local learned societies were established by the transference to University College of the libraries of the Liverpool Royal Institution in 1894, and in 1894, and the Liverpool Literary and Philosophical Society in 1899. Among other benefactors gratefully remembered are the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Lords Commissioners of His

K

Majesty's Treasury, Mrs. Aikin, Thomas Baring,
Egerton Stewart Brown, A. Theodore Brown, Herbert
Campbell, Robert Gladstone, William P. Hartley, John
W. Hughes, Mrs. Stanley Jevons, Charles Langton, Dr.
John Newton, William Rathbone, H. Yates Thompson,
Augustus F. Warr, and the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates.

The University aims at founding a scholar's library
fully and adequately equipped with the leading authorities
and works of reference in the main departments of
learning. Its books, now numbering 60,000 volumes,
include a valuable collection of Academies and Periodicals,
and great series such as Migne, Pertz, Muratori, Acta
Sanctorum, etc. Among rarer possessions are the Rylands
collection of early works on geography and astronomy,
several illuminated manuscripts, a collection of works
by or relating to William Blake, sets of the Roxburghe,
Bannatyne and Maitland Clubs, and over a hundred
incunabula; the earliest specimen of printing being the
final sheets of the Constitutiones of Clement V, printed
by Fust and Schoeffer at Mainz, in 1460. Special
bibliographies have been issued, and the main catalogue is
being completed by the aid of a grant for the purpose
from the Council.

The sources from which the library is maintained
are (1) An annual grant from the Council; (2) the
interest of a capital sum of £1,000 given in 1893 by
the Rev. S. A. Thompson Yates for the purchase of
works in economics and history or in classics; (3) the
interest (135) of a capital sum of £5,000 given in 1896.
by Sir Henry Tate for general library purposes.
