Abstract

The article talks about the library at Ickworth in Suffolk, England previously owned by a succession of Herveys from the 15th century to 1999. It tells that Theodora, the Marchioness of Bristol, has commissioned the repair, rebinding, and cataloguing of its books. It states that the collection in the library can be segregated into two parts: collections brought over from the original home including Renassance and 17th-century European books, and 19th- to 20th century volumes.
