<italic>Readings in the Economic History of the United States</italic>. By <sc>Ernest Ludlow Bogart</sc>, Ph.D., and <sc>Charles Manfred Thompson</sc>, Ph.D., of the Department of Economics in the University of Illinois. (New York: Longmans, Green, and Company. 1916. Pp. xxvii, 862.)

This expensive little book, originally a thesis for the University of Illinois, is an artless but sometimes perceptive account of certain library endeavours in British East and West Africa, based on archival and library research in Britain and the United States. It is not a history of libraries per se so much as a study of instances of external aid to the development of libraries beyond the sphere of teaching institutions. In the 1930s, one such source – as in so much of the English-speaking world – was the Carnegie Corporation. Grants to Kenya underpinned a system of circulating libraries, the depot for which was housed in the McMillan Memorial Library, Nairobi; membership was confined to whites until 1958. In Lagos, Alan Burns, as chief secretary, secured a grant to start an unsegregated but fee-charging library: in 1934 just 43 of its 481 members were African. The grant ended in 1935, but the library was still going forty years later.
