Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Intellectual Torch is a book written by Jesse Torrey Jr. in 1817. The book presents a plan for the universal dissemination of knowledge and virtue through the establishment of free public libraries. Torrey argues that access to knowledge is essential for the moral and intellectual develop…ment of individuals and society as a whole. He proposes a system of libraries that would be open to all, regardless of social class or economic status. The book outlines the practical steps that would be necessary to establish such a system, including funding, staffing, and collection development. Torrey also addresses potential objections to his plan, such as concerns about censorship and the cost of building and maintaining libraries. Overall, The Intellectual Torch is a visionary work that advocates for the democratization of knowledge and the promotion of virtue through free public libraries.Including Essays Of The Use Of Distilled Spirits.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
