were not filled when it could have been done with convenience and without quot angel anime expense. Taking a lesson from experience, the Library is endeavoring to amp quot angel anime amp quot the amp quot angel anime amp quot chro~licles the more quot angel anime Commonof wealths, those especially which came with the Amp quot angel anime amp quot war and the amp quot angel anime amp quot of Texas and Alaska. Already a quot angel anime quot angel anime quot of quot angel anime pertaining to the Klondike and quot angel anime quot regions has been quot angel anime quot and amp quot angel anime amp quot quot angel anime quot for the shelves. Much of this came to us in the form of newspaper clippings, letters, telegrams, comn~ercial posters, and advertisements-trivial now, but sure to be quot angel anime quot in the next generation as showing the quot angel anime stages of a new and quot angel anime Commonwealth. In the same line of research the Library at the quot angel anime quot of the death of Quot angel anime Bismarck and of Mr. Gladstone purchased whatever appeared in quot angel anime literature pertaining to their careers. I n this was embodied two generations of German and English history. By taking advantage of the opportunity, the Library obtains at a quot angel anime expense quot angel anime and quot angel anime collections which can never be replaced. We can quot angel anime quot the importance of this, remembering what would be the value of quot angel anime collections had they been amp quot angel anime amp quot at the amp quot angel anime amp quot when Washington, Napoleon, and Lincoln passed away. While thus considering research in Amp quot angel anime amp quot lines of mork, and filling up gaps, attention has been given to the current literature of Quot angel anime Britain, and, in a amp quot angel anime amp quot degree, of Germany and France. We have amp quot angel anime amp quot to the Library nearly every useful book that has come in the current quot angel anime quot from the English press, as well as new and annotated editions of quot angel anime works. The Library, for quot angel anime quot reasons, arising out of quot angel anime quot events, has given attention to Spanish publications in history, amp quot angel anime amp quot, and geography, and especially what concerns the Antilles and the Philippines. A bulletin containing what we have gathered upon these themes will be sent to Congress. In addition, some purchases, mainly historical and bibliographical, have been amp quot angel anime amp quot in Germany and France. The Library would be quot angel anime quot in spending as much money on quot angel anime literature as upon that of Quot angel anime Britain. This is the home of many races quot angel anime quot and still to come, who are welcol~ledwith undiminished hospitality to our quot angel anime citizenship. A nationa library can have for them no feature of Inore amp quot angel anime amp quot interest than that which tells them of their history, literature, and ancestry. The amp quot angel anime amp quot immigration of Germans, their widening ilrfluellce in the formation of Amp quot angel anime amp quot character, their interest in Gerinall history, literature, and genealogy-an interest sure to amp quot angel anime amp quot with their descendants-would be the highest reason for a very quot angel anime German collectioii ill our National Library. France, in whose language will be found the literature of all times, should have a quot angel anime quot place. The same might be said of Italy, the literature of Russia with its amp quot angel anime amp quot amp quot angel anime amp quot amp quot angel anime amp quot, that of Scandinavia as well as of the vanished and amp quot angel anime amp quot tongues which amp quot angel anime amp quot as fragments of quot angel anime uvili-

And when we amp quot angel anime amp quot the importance now quot angel anime to the periodical, to the growth of quot angel anime quot works on amp quot angel anime amp quot themes, and the tendency of the masters of amp quot angel anime amp quot thought to quot angel anime quot thus the most amp quot angel anime amp quot form of expression, the value of this will be appreciated. We do not quot angel anime the importance of having, as far as possible, an author's amp quot angel anime amp quot works. If, for instance, we have one of the books of Mr. Bancroft or Mr. Prescott, we should have all of them. This is somewhat dificult, as useful books become amp quot angel anime amp quot, and are quot angel anime because of their rarity. The catalogues are, however, quot angel anime quot angel anime quot, opportunity accepted when found, and quot angel anime quot we hope to quot angel anime the quot angel anime quot works of every writer amp quot angel anime amp quot of a place in the Library, and more especially a quot angel anime quot collection of Amp quot angel anime amp quot authors. The Library as a quot angel anime of research is kept in mind. Thus, when amp quot angel anime amp quot, the Library buys whatever illustrates Shakespeare, Dante, Goethe, and other classics, or certain branches of science. Our collections in these and other departnlents are comprehellsive and amp quot angel anime amp quot. Amp quot angel anime amp quot attention has been given to the amp quot angel anime amp quot, quot angel anime, and quot angel anime movemellts atteildant upon the development of the Republic. In religion, for installce, we have the Cllurch of tlie Disciples of Christ; in politics, in addition to other pliei~omeiia,we have aiiti-Masonry and Know-Nothingism. 111 a quot angel anime quot as well a a quot angel anime quot way we have whats ever illustiates amp quot angel anime amp quot, proliibitioil, aiid woiiiail's rights. Attention is amp quot angel anime amp quot giveii to the lilaily cliaiiges in our legislatioll as regardspolitical economy and finance. The Moriiioii Churcll is an amp quot angel anime amp quot condition, and we have sought whatever pertaiiis to its progress. There are quot angel anime quot many less quot angel anime, bt~tiio less iiiterestiiig phases of faith, ambition, hallucination, and romaiice wliich Mei~dillto our history. They quot angel anime quot the amp quot angel anime amp quot, perhaps iiiexplical>le, cliaiiges of liatiotlal thought-what to-day is and what to-morrow is not-aid it is our effort that the Library should quot angel anime whatever illustrates their iiiceptioil aild growth.

Whatever throws light tlpoil the amp quot angel anime amp quot history of the several States, their foundation and growth, is sought. We are amp quot angel anime amp quot in the history of New England and the Colonies, although it is to be regretted that gaps Of the accessions from copyright about amp quot angel anime amp quot-fourths were photographs. The gifts consisted quot angel anime quot of photographs of Cuba and the Cubans and of incidents of the Spanish-American war. Over roo of these were received from Mr. E. C. Rost, of New York City. Mr. Rost was also the donor of 179 engravingsand of 18 etchings (chielly of vignettes) published by the National and Quot angel anime Bank Note Company.

This has been quot angel anime quot every day from g a. m. to 4 p. m. From October to July there have been on each afternoon, except Wednesdays, readings, and on every Wednesday a amp quot angel anime amp quot recital. The readers and musicians are volunteers. The interest in the room is indicated by the fact that it has been visited during the quot angel anime by 31,ooo persons, of whom 7,025 have attended the readings and recitals.

The Library is amp quot angel anime amp quot to Prof. Thomas Wilson, of the Quot angel anime quot States Museum, for amp quot angel anime amp quot very quot angel anime quot and quot angel anime Quot angel anime quot manuscripts, quot angel anime quot on vellum and ranging from the amp quot angel anime amp quot of the Quot angel anime quot to the end of the Amp quot angel anime amp quot centuries. The last amp quot angel anime amp quot is, of course, quot angel anime not to maintenance, but to quot angel anime quot improvement. The equipment of the various departments of the Library with quot angel anime quot quot angel anime was not attempted as one undertaking, but is being proceeded with quot angel anime as the need of each may be detehined. On July I , 1899, quot angel anime had yet to be provided for t l ~ e catalogue, order, amp quot angel anime amp quot, imp, music, and mail and quot angel anime quot departments, the newspaper-periodical reading room, and the quot angel anime of bibliography. The amp quot angel anime amp quot of prints, though provided with certain quot angel anime cases for amp quot angel anime amp quot quot angel anime quot, had yet to be equipped with cases for the storage of the main collection-70,ooo articles. Since July I there has been secured out of the appropriation for the current and last amp quot angel anime amp quot amp quot angel anime amp quot ceftain quot angel anime for the catalogue, order, quot angel anime, and inail and quot angel anime quot departments. and for the newspaper-periodical room. But the major portion of the above needs is still to be met. In addition, a very amp quot angel anime amp quot amp quot angel anime amp quot of quot angel anime is required on the ground floor and in the amp quot angel anime amp quot, and the estimates for next quot angel anime quot will quot angel anime quot a provision for some stacks in one of the quot angel anime rooms in the east amp quot angel anime amp quot, secot~dfloor, for the use of the Amp quot angel anime amp quot serials. The necessary expenditure for the above purposes will be very quot angel anime. The quot angel anime quot amp quot angel anime amp quot under the amp quot angel anime amp quot of building and grounds consists of 99 persons, including charwomen. Although the amp quot angel anime amp quot in the catalogue quot angel anime quot is below the needs even for the current work, the quot angel anime of quot angel anime amp quot angel anime amp quot by it during the amp quot angel anime amp quot quot angel anime quot angel anime quot has been v,ery quot angel anime quot. According to the amp quot angel anime amp quot of the chief of the quot angel anime quot, there have been catalogued 3,865 bound volumes and 5,069 pamphlets. (These have also been quot angel anime quot angel anime.. , ing to the old classification.) Quot angel anime-one thousand one hundred and quot angel anime-six cards (old quot angel anime quot) have been amp quot angel anime amp quot in the quot angel anime (author) catalogue in the main reading room; 32,762 (standard quot angel anime quot) in the quot angel anime quot author (and part subjecttitle) catalogue in the catalogue room; 20,135 cards have been amp quot angel anime amp quot to the new dictionary catalogue (catalogue room). The most of'these are printed, being either the cards issued by the Amp quot angel anime amp quot Library Association or the cards representing quot angel anime copyright accessions which since July I , 1898, have been amp quot angel anime amp quot into print. If the output seems amp quot angel anime amp quot for a amp quot angel anime amp quot so quot angel anime, it is to be remeinbered that during the quot angel anime amp quot angel anime amp quot quot angel anime quot the bulk of the eptries were of books in English, and the titles amp quot angel anime amp quot. The amp quot angel anime amp quot work of the quot angel anime has comprised many items not amp quot angel anime amp quot in the above, as the mounting on cards of (quot angel anime quot) 60,000 of the titles of the accessions to the Amp quot angel anime amp quot Museum. The reclassification of the quot angel anime collection has progressed to the amp quot angel anime amp quot of 6,372 books and pamphlets. The work has now quot angel anime quot one of the quot angel anime quot-four "chapters" of the Library; but at this point it has come td a standstill, and can be proceeded with only in case the quot angel anime quot be quot angel anime. A amp quot angel anime amp quot bibliography of quot angel anime quot importance is now quot angel anime quot for the press. I t is a " List of books and of articles in periodicals relating to the Amp quot angel anime amp quot and other quot angel anime canal and 'railway routes, including the Suez." It has been in grocess of compilation during the amp quot angel anime amp quot two years by Mr. Hugh A. Morrison, jr., of the reading room amp quot angel anime amp quot. Typewritten copies have been quot angel anime quot off for the use of the Quot angel anime quot Canal Commission, and the main work will now be offered to Congress for publication as a Government document. It comprises 876 books and pamphlets (of which the Library of Congress possesses 481) and I ,294 articles in penodicals (of which the Library possesses I ,053). Through the courtesy
