 | | PANIZZI, SIR ANTHONY (1797-1879), English librarian, was born at Brescello, in the duchy of Modena, Italy, on the 16th of September 1797. |
 | | Panizzi had become a naturalized Englishman, but his devotion to the British Museum was rivalled by his devotion to his native land, and his personal influence with English Liberal statesmen enabled him often to promote her cause. |
 | | Panizzi's principal contributions to its inquiries with regard to the library were an enormous mass of statistics respecting foreign libraries, and some admirable evidence on the catalogue of printed books then in contemplation. |
