Towler Institute Antiquarian Library

Here is a catalogue of the Institute's Antiquarian Book Library. It mainly contains works on early exploration and travel, with a bit of philosophy , natural history, archaeology, astronomy and mountaineering, plus various old guides to Italy. And of course fairy stories and the Arabian Nights for late evenings around the fire and for our daughter Saska. And not forgetting the incomparable 1846 edition of the Young Man's Book of Amusement. The Library is also the inspiration for the TTI Exploration Society.
