Présentation de l'éditeur
Alumni Association regarding these lectures. The invitation to deliver them was a double one; on the one hand from a representative of the school who wished something on the philosophical order, which should be a contribution to the theory of library science, and on the other hand from a representative of the alumni who wished something very practical. The lectures are the result of an attempt to meet both wishes even at the risk of falling between two stools. There is a perhaps small, but very earnest, number of librarians at the present day who are extremely anxious that the rising generation of librarians should be thoroughly grounded in the habit of searching the historical and philosophical basis of their art to the very bottom. They believe that the real progress of things in years to come depends precisely on that thing, that there is no danger of any neglect of the most thorough study of practical method in every aspect, but that there is danger that the habit of scientific thought will be neglected.
