Excerpt from Books for a Reference Library: Being Lectures on the Books in the Reference Department of the Free Public Library, Birmingham A necessity then arises from the very magnitude and-complete ness of the library, that persons who have made certain branches of knowledge their special study should perform for you the very useful, if homely, Office of a finger post to the contents of the catalogue of the library. I wish that it had fallen to someone else's lot to commence these lectures by a subject seemingly more attractive than the subject of legal literature, I say seemingly, because I do not admit that any subject could be Chosen of more real interest. Somebody must make a beginning, and it seemed rather to devolve on the Chair man of the Committee to be first in the breach. I do not know what course succeeding lecturers will take, each will, no doubt, adopt the method most suitable to his subject. It appears to me that the most practical course for me to take will be to suppose each one of you to be saying to me, I want to know something about law. What books in your library shall I read? Before answering that question, let me mention that the books on law in the Reference Library have been selected on a principle, and that principle is that they must not be only and solely technical books. None of you should expect to find in the library books to teach you the special details of your various trades or occupations: how to file a piece Of metal or cut a garment. So on the subject of law there is no book in the library which will tell you in detail how to defend yourself in a County Court action. That is technicaldetail, and no more literature than a directory is literature. The Free Libraries Committee have very properly drawn the line here. Any book which relates to the general principles of law; any book which connects law with history, they have admitted; but have ex cluded those purely technical books which are only the working tools of the lawyer. Allow me also, before I answer the question, a further explanation, and that is that law is like language. Just as there are various languages (as most of us know to our cost) and there is in addition a science of language distinct from any and every particular language, so in the law, we have English law, Roman law and many other systems of law. But there is a science of law totally distinct from any one system. There however the analogy ceases, for you may have a perfect knowledge of several languages without troubling yourself at all with the science of language. So professional lawyers imbibe the necessary know ledge of the principles of law in solution as it were with the details of their daily practice. But if you are beginning the study with out the advantage of daily practice, you must begin with some clear and definite ideas of what law is itself, independent of whether it is Roman law or English law.
