Twenty Years After

THE author of this little sketch is happy to bear witness of the endurance and strength of a Scottish editor; a fifth of a century ago the projector of the LIBRARY REVIEW, who has remained at its heim ever since, asked for an article for the first number of his journal. That paper came from the West Coast, that is California, and tried to disclose some library items of a hopeful nature. Since that year the world has for a time gone mad, but the REVIEW has continued to promote libraries, reading and books.
