FOR ThTmIRROUR.'
Messrs. Russell & Davis,
IN the conclusion.of. the third vol
ume of the Rev. Dr. Belknap's
Hiftory of Newhampthire, among
other, is the following advice to the
people, which I have never seen ex
cradted in any newspaper—l think the
advice well worth their attention, and
Atty you to publish it in your paper
the firft opportunity : and if your
h brethren of the type" in this date
should publish it in their new(papers,
I think it would be time well employ
ed. Yours, Vedastas.
" ANOTHER source of improve,
meat, (fays the philanthropic Dodor)
which I beg leave to recommend, is
the eftablifhmeot of Social Libraries.
This is the easiest, the cheapest and
most effectual mode of diffufing
knowledge among the people. For
the sum of fix or eight dollars at once
and a (mail annual payment beside, a
man may be (applied with the means
of literary improvement, during his
life, and his children may inherit the
blessing. A few neighbours joined
together in setting up a library, and
placing it under the care of some folk
able person, with a very few regula
tions to prevent carelessness and waste,
may render the most essential service
to themselves and.to the community.
Books may be much better preserved
in this way, than if they belonged to
individuals ; and there is an advan
tage in thefocial intercourse of persons
who have read the fame books, by
their converting on the fubjeds which
have occurred in their reading, and
comr^nicatihg their observations 'one
to another. From this mutual inter
course another advantage may arise ;
for the persons who are thus associat
ed, may not only acquire, but origin
ate knowledge. By studying nature
and the feiences, by praftifing arts,
agriculture and manufactures, at the
fame time that they improve their
minds in reading, the, may be led to
discoveries and improvements, origi
nal and beneficial ; and being already
formed into society, they may diffufe
their knowledge, ripen their plans,
correft their mistakes, and promote
rhe cause of feience and humanity in
a very coofiderable degree.
"The book of nature is always o,
pen to bur view, and we may ftudyit
at our leisure ; ' 'Tit elder scripture,
writ by God's own hand.' The earth,
the air, the sea, the rivers, the moun
tains, the rocks, the caverns, the ani
mal and vegetable tribes, are fraught
with infttuaion. Nature is not half
explored; and in what is partly known
there are many myfteriel, which time,
observation and experience must un
fold. Every Social Library Ihould
be fatnitbed * with books of oarural
philpfrphy, botany, zoology, chimif
try, hufbindry, geography and astron
omy ; that enquiring minds may be
direded in their enquiries ; that they
may fee what is known, and what still
remains to be difeovered ; and that
they may employ their leisure and
their various qpportunities in endeav
oring to add to the>ftock of Science,
and thus enrich the world with their
pbferyauons and improvements."
On the foregoing^ I beg leave to
make the following W #
I The Rey. Doßor appears to have ra
tty ranged MreMeo he recom
mends ^ fix or eight dollar# at o^,
I OfODle in country towns wou dJurt
at the idea of paying such a sum at
once, towards a library ; for my part
I think one or two dollars from each
fubferiber at firft, lyith an annual sum
of two or three millings for a few
years, would procure a decent library.
There are but few towns in which
there might not be at teaft fifty sub
scribers procured, and fifty or an hun
dred dollars, economically laid out,
would purchase a handsome variety of
farall volumes, and when their annual
fubferiptions were paid, the larger vo
lumes might be occafionaliy added,
C, WE hope the , above ma, meet the approba
tion of our readers —and become u„ul.
