The Public Library Movement in the United States of American,1853-1893 has the distinguishing features such as describing chronologically, recording truly and evaluating objectively. At the same time, neither it explains the origin of the public library movement,nor it states the early development forms of public library,and it even misunderstands the meaning of the public library movement. The publishing of The Public Library Movement in the United States of American,1853-1893 takes a special role in the writing of American library history.
