9781877448430 - Parliament's Library: 150 Years (1 Ergebnisse)

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. A very clean copy. The Parliamentary Library began only a few years after responsible government was established in 1854. Initially housed in a small cottage with a modest collection, it grew rapidly as Parliament's needs expanded. By the late nineteenth century it had become, in effect, New Zealand's de facto national library, holding rare books, artworks, and reference materials central to the country's political and cultural life.
