"This little body of thought, that lies before me in the shape of a book, has existed thousands of years, nor since the invention of the press can anything short of an universal convulsion of nature abolish it" On Reading, Writing and Living with Books is part of 'Found on the Shelves', published with The London Library. The books in this series have been chosen to give a fascinating insight into the treasures that can be found while browsing in The London Library. Now celebrating its 175th anniversary, with over 17 miles of shelving and more than a million books, The London Library has become an unrivalled archive of the modes, manners and thoughts of each generation which has helped to form it.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was the daughter of Leslie Stephen, who was President of The London Library from 1892 until his death in 1904. She was one of the greatest novelists and essayists of the twentieth century.
George Eliot (1819-1880) and George Henry Lewes, the man with whom she lived from 1854 until his death in 1878, were both devoted members of The London Library. She was one of the greatest Victorian writers, whose novel Middlemarch was described by Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people".
James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784-1859) was the 877th person to join The London Library. He was a poet, critic and journalist. Despite being a household name in his day, and remembered as one of the great reformers, his poetry has not been widely read.
Edward Morgan Forster (1879-1970) joined The London Library in 1904 as a life member. He was Vice-President from 1961 until his death.
