Summary:

"A Bibliotheca Nacional de Lisboa" by Xavier da Cunha is a detailed report addressing the deficiencies of the National Library of Lisbon and proposed remedies, written in the early 20th century. The book outlines the challenges the library faced, including inadequate space, insufficient financial resources, and poorly equipped facilities, all of which hindered its ability to serve the public and preserve its collections effectively. In this publication, da Cunha reflects on the history and current state of the National Library, established in 1796, and highlights pressing issues such as overcrowding and the need for better organization and staffing. He emphasizes the importance of constructing a dedicated building that would meet the library's functional needs, effectively protecting valuable books and providing adequate space for readers and staff. The report culminates in a series of recommendations aimed at securing government support for improving the library's infrastructure and resources, thereby enhancing its capability to serve researchers and the public effectively.
