Commissioned in honour of William Pitt the Younger and finished in
1833, The Pitt Building housed the printing and publishing offices
of Cambridge University Press for over 100 years. First published
in 1938, this book provides a concise and accessible historical
account of the building. The chief sources of information for this
history were the Syndicate minute books and other papers preserved
at the Press, including correspondence which passed at the time of
the building's original development. These primary sources are
liberally referred to throughout and numerous illustrative figures
are also provided. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in The Pitt Building and the history of Cambridge
University Press.
