THE LIBRARIES OF LONDON
Let us start with the highest library in London, the Capitular Library of St. Paul’s Cathedral. To reach it, you must be prepared for a long climb, for it is situated right up near the Whispering Gallery which encircles the base of the Cathedral dome. The origin of the Library dates back to the seventh century, but all its books were destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The archives, however, were preserved. The Library was re-founded after the Fire and the collection was built up again.
From the highest library in London let us go to the biggest which, of course, is that of the British Museum. The British Museum Library contains about six million books and the large circular Reading Room is in the centre of the Museum Building.
A passage from the Reading Room leads to the North Library, which is reserved for the study of early and rare books and manuscripts, including the earliest editions of Shakespeare. The collection of foreign books is also outstanding.
In 1841 the London Library in St. James Square was founded-a library of about 600. 000 books devoted to the humanities and fine arts.
