THE WAR LIBRARY
COMPRISES '•><> VOLUMES Many books have been written about the Great War, but the man who will do for it what Carlyle did for the French Revolution, or Motley for the Dutch revolt against has yet to appear. When he comes he will make extensive use of the Imperial War Library, which has just found a permanent home at Queen’s Gate, London, in a building communicating at the rear with the famous South Kensington War Museum. And the job of this future historian will be no light one, for the library contains nearly 40,000 volumes, dealing with various aspects of the war. But there is much to interest the ordinary man in the library, as well as enough to daunt the would-be historian. Ex-servicemen may renew acquaintance with the old trench and ship journals in the comfortable read-ing-rooms, while the best of the war novels are on the shelves A number of volumes dealing with “Personal Experiences” also make fascinating reading.
