Britain's What's On Event Guide
Plymouth Proprietary Library
Heritage Open Day: The Plymouth Proprietary Library holds some rare and interesting books a selection of which will be on display for visitors. The Plymouth Proprietary Library will be displaying a few treasurers from the book collection. These include a third edition of Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre', given to the library in 1944 to replenish the book stock following the bombing of the library a few years earlier.
Also on display will be a couple of new acquisitions. Firstly, 'A Prophecy of Perillous Times' published by the 'Parliamentary' Preacher, Rev. Thomas Willes in 1656 which tells of perilous times during the English Civil War. The second recent acquisition is 'Spirit of Dartmoor Tin', a lavishly illustrated photo-essay book on Dartmoor, and in particular the influence of tin and tinners upon the moor. It is the work of twenty years, and only 100 copies will ever be produced.
