Appeal on behalf of the Friends of the National, Libraries by Robert Birley , C.M.G.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Robert Birley, Esq., Friends of the National Libraries, [address removed]
The Friends of the National Libraries was founded in 1931 to assist libraries and collections of national importance and interest in the same way that the National Art-Collections Fund helps the galleries of the nation. The Society devotes its funds to the purchase of books and manuscripts which libraries would otherwise be unable to buy outright from their own resources.
In the past twenty-six years it has helped more than one hundred collections throughout the country, including the three National Libraries of England, Scotland, and Wales, Universities and Colleges, Cathedrals, Societies, and Public and County Libraries.
