"A Plea For A Devonshire Bibliography" is a compelling argument for the creation of a comprehensive bibliography dedicated to the county of Devonshire. Originally presented as a paper at the Cambridge meeting of the United Kingdom Library Association, William Henry K. Wright makes a case for the importance of documenting and preserving the literary and historical heritage of Devon. This reprint from The Western Antiquary underscores the enduring need for organized and accessible records of regional publications.
Wright's work highlights the value of bibliographies in supporting research and scholarship. It also reflects the broader 19th-century interest in local history and the development of library science. A vital resource for historians, librarians, and anyone interested in the cultural history of Devon, this plea remains relevant as a testament to the significance of bibliographic control.
