  enlightened early-Victorian politician\, was the Library's first presiden

  the first committee and early members included Charles Dickens and George
  Eliot.\n\nOver the past 170 years\, The London Library's collection has g
 rown to more than one million volumes covering 2\,000 subjects. It has enj
 oyed the patronage of many eminent writers\, academics\, politicians and r
 eaders throughout its history and has long played a central role in the in
 tellectual life of the nation.\n\nT.S Eliot was president of The London Li
 brary from 1952 to his death in 1965. Internationally acclaimed artist Emm
 a Sergeant donated a portrait of Mrs T. S. Eliot (Valerie) to the Library\
