Dominico Caracciolo was an important figure on the 18th-century
European stage, holding high office as a diplomat in London, Turin
and Paris, and as viceroy and prime minister in the Two Sicilies.
He was an inveterate letter-writer and his huge correspondence,
with his diplomatic despatches and other official writing, is a
unique original source, providing a detailed and vivid picture of
the 18th-century European elite with all its extravagance and
scandalous behaviour. Even more importantly, it is an account of an
Enlightenment struggle against the increasingly outdated clerical
and feudal rule in Sicily. Caracciolo was an abrasive and combative
official and politician and vigorous scion of the Enlightenment. In
this book, Angus Campbell provides a detailed portrait of
Caracciolo and of the political, social, economic, legal and
cultural context in which he lived and worked. In doing so, he
provides a unique vantage point on the European diplomatic culture
of the 18th century.
This short book presents the findings of a survey on the use of
public libraries. The survey was conducted by the Social Science
Research Council in 1947 under the auspices of the American Library
Association, and conducted. Chapters cover materials housed in
libraries, demographic findings on who uses libraries, and data on
why patrons use libraries. The final chapter covers more
speculative questions posed to the subjects of the study on new,
extended services that libraries might offer in the future.
