Summary

Bodley's Librarian, retirement of Mr… (1919)

Madan has, it is understood not a little literary and bibliographical work of his own, especially his invaluable account of Oxford books and Oxford printing, which he needs time to complete, and is retiring by his own wish. Mr. Madan, too, is a fine classical scholar, and he may have thought, like Quintiliam "Honestissimum finem putabamus desinere dum desideraremur."
