"Essays in Librarianship and Bibliography" by Richard Garnett is a collection of essays focused on the field of librarianship and bibliography, written in the late 19th century. The essays address various aspects of library management, including the historical development of libraries, cataloguing practices, and the application of scientific methods to library processes. This compilation serves as both a reflection on the evolution of librarianship at the time and a critique of current practices, making it a significant work for those interested in library science and history. The opening portion of the text introduces the context and the purpose behind the collection of essays. The preface explains that the essays are occasional pieces written at the request of colleagues or in response to specific needs within the library community. Garnett discusses the transition to printed catalogues in libraries, particularly the British Museum, reflecting on the advantages and disadvantages of printing in cataloguing. He also mentions the introduction of innovative library technologies and practices such as the sliding-press and photographic reproduction of documents, highlighting the role of such advancements in improving library efficiency and accessibility. Overall, the beginning emphasizes the importance of systematic processes in librarianship and sets the stage for further insights into the evolution of bibliographic practices discussed in the essays.
