SEALE, WILLIAM. The Alexandia Library Company.
Distributed by The Alexandria Library Company by Oak Knoll Press, New Castle: 2007. First Edition. h Hardcover, no dustjacket (as issued). Brand new book.
Describes a rare American library in Virginia and the booklovers associated with it through two centuries. Historian William Seale presents the story - through good times and bad - of this historic library company, which has been in business since 1794. Sponsored by the Company, the book is documented from the shelves and boxes of early manuscripts that chronicle the history of the organization. Old leather volumes preserve the minutes from the founding to the present, while volumes of llibrary records reveal what books were checked outand by whom, as well as the names of those who were charged late fees. Early political figures like Charles Lee joined churchmen Dr. James Muir and tavern keeper John Wise in membership; their fellow subscribers were lawyers, cabinetmakers, coach makers, ship captains, planters, farmers and other townspeople. Women were among the early members. The hundreds of subscribers included Mrs. G. W. P. Custis of Arlington, who had a strong taste for Sir Walter Scott's romances and was in fact listening to one being read aloud by a young Robert E. Lee when he took a break and left the room to propose to her daughter. This handsomely designed book is a book collector's delight, borrowing its special appearance from the mellow books in the collection. The Alexandria Library Company consists of a narrative history, a bibliography of the historic books and a list of members through two centuries. It contains over 50 color illustrations, including historic portraits and images of many of the early books.
