Book Description

Excerpt from Sixteenth Annual Report of the Public Library and Gallery of Art Committee, 1889-90 To the Mayor and Corporation of the County Borough of Swansea. Since the presentation of its last Report, the number of your Committee has been increased, while the principle Of its constitution remains the same, and it now consists Of 55 members, in consequence Of the enlargement Of the Council at the commencement of the present Municipal Year. At the same time it sustained a very severe loss ln the retirement Of Mr. E. Sidney hartland from the Office of vice-chairman, and virtually from all participation in the management of the Library. While congratulating Mr. Hartland upon the occasion necessitating his removal from Swansea, they cannot but deeply regret the deprivation which the Library has thereby suffered, and desire publicly to record their recognition of his valuable services, and in particular Of the tact and ability with Which he presided over their meetings during his years Of Office.
