REVIEWS
“. . . [The two rare book libraries] are comprehensive in their coverage; they contain, in some cases, the only known extant copies of certain works, and they include numerous books of fascinating provenance — books from the personal libraries of such personages as Adam Smith, Lord Sheffield, David Ricardo, John Locke, Jeremy Bentham, William Wilberforce, Robert Owen, Sir Robert Peel, William Wordsworth and Karl Marx.”
“Taken together, MOMW I and MOMW II represent very significant and extensive collections combining standard works in multiple editions and unique primary source materials. The interface is straightforward and easy to use, although it could benefit from having a greater variety of browse functions . . . Another benefit to the MOMW collections will be cross-collection searchability with other Gale collections, including ECCO and especially NCCO.”
