Library Intelligencer

The Cambridge Library Collection is a new collaboration between the Cambridge University Library and Cambridge University Press, the world’s oldest publisher. Already a pioneer in the republishing of titles from its own backlist, Cambridge University Press is extending its reach to include other books of enduring scholarly value that are still of interest to researchers, students, and the general reader. Examples include a book on Darwinism by the other great theorist of natural selection, Alfred Russel Wallace; two preliminary essays to On the Origin of Species; family reminiscences of Jane Austen gathered by her nephew; the correspondence between Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt; a study of the health of the rowers in the Oxford and Cambridge boat race between 1829 and 1869; and a 19th-century Englishwoman’s impressions of America.
