SUGGESTIONS FOR ACQUISITION
The London Library's collections reflect more than most the changing reading tastes and research requirements of generation after generation of its readers. The first desiderata lists for the Library were drawn up by its founder members: Carlyle, Gladstone, Grote, Hammond, Mill, Mazzini and other leading scholars of the day, each responsible for ensuring coverage in their particular areas of specialization. And the Library's members continue to play an unusually central role in the selection and development of the collections, by bequeathing parts of their personal libraries, by donating copies of their own books, and by making regular suggestions for acquisition.
