Old "Chained Libraries"
Preserved in England

Ever since there have been books
there have been book thieves. And
in medieval times, when books were
rare and valuable, libraries took no
chances with would-be borrowers"
but chained their volumes and man
uscripts securely to their shelves.
Several of these chained IL
braries" still exist in England, but
among them the one at Hereford
cathedral is unique in several
ways.
1t is definitely one of the Oldest
it is still a moot point whether it
dates from 1894 or 1590-and with
its nearly 1900 tethered volumes is
by far the largest of the chained Ii
braries.
One Of the largest of the other
chained Libraries in England is, as
it happens, also at Hereford, in the
Church of All Saints there. 1t has
313 chained books. But in Hereford
cathedral upward of $50 books never
had been unclaimed, and more than
1000 chains which had been taken
Off books in the last century were
suspended from the ceiling in rows.
Moreover, by a piece of great good
fortune, the brass clips by which
the chains had been fastened to the
books had been thrown into an old
box and so preserved. Consequent
ly, 1t has been possible to reclaim
all the books in the library almost
precisely as they were originally
New York Times.
