THE MANCHESTER. FREE.

The ceremony of opening the iew Free Public
Library at Manchester was gone th.ough yesterday,
in presence of a very large and detinguished com-
pany. The building consists nuinly of two lofty
and spacious rooms, occupying each of the principal
floors, the lower one containing the library for lend-
ing, and the other the books of rtfrence. In the
latter, or upper story, the company assembled, to the
number of nearly a thousand parsons, a large propor-
tion of whom were ladies. The nc.blemen and gen-
tlemen present for the purpose of taking part in the
proceedings were the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl
of Wilton, the Bishop of Manchester, Sir Edward
Bulcver Lytton, Sir J. Stephen, Mr. Charles Dickens,
Mr.Monckton Milnes, M.P., Mr. John Bright, M.P.,
Mr. W. Brown. M.P. Mr. Thackiray, Mr. Charles
Knight, Dr. Vaughan, and Mr. 'elkin
Nottingham). Among the ladies present ware the
Countess of Wilton and the Hon. plisses Egerton.
Sir J. POTTER took the chair at twenty minutes
past eleven o'clock, and proceeded to read a report
giving a very full and succinct history of. the new in-
stitution.(llayor of

assigned to me the honour, and,, undertook it most
cheerfully, because, though not (connected with this
city, I am not uninterested in your welfare; and
many of the former events of my life have given me a
deep and lasting desire for the honour and prosperity
of the city of Manchester.—(Cheers.) Now, the re-
solution which I am called upon to move expresses—
" That this meeting witnesses with great satisfaction
the opening ceremony of the Manchester Free Library,
and desires to express its entire confidence that this noble
institution will effect great and lasting good to the com-
munity for generations to come."
(Cheers.) Sir, there will be no difficulty in obtain-
ing your concurrence in this resolution, and there
will be as little difficulty in shoving the bystanders
and the world at large the locil benefits that will
arise from this institution. Bat we must go further
than local benefits; and allow me to observe that, in
these days of pursuit and excitement, in these days of
novel projects and restless inquiry, in these days of
accelerated intercourse, when time and space almost

basin, and claim to
be beard, as equal to the best in patriotism, principle,
and intellectual power.—(Cheers.) You might have
founded, if you pleased, an attractive little reading-
room, where journals, where newspapers, and occa-
sionally periodicals might have been found—you might
have added to it, if you liked, the allurements of a
smoking-room and a billiard-table, but that would
not have satisfied the requirements of the age, nor the
aspirations of the town of Manchester.—(Hear.)
You have founded this great and glorious institution,
large, liberal, and cosmopolite, and from my heart I
say, may God prosper it for the purpose for which it
was intended; and may you, in the pursuit of wealth,
and in the duties of commerce, in the exercise of
every virtue, in the maintenance of every sound and
great principle—may you, I say, thereby sanctify
the possession and enryment of your riches, and may
you enjoy for yourselves, and transmit to those that
come after you, the citizenship of a crowded city,
whose merchants are princes, and whose traffickers are
the honourable of the earth.—(Cheers.) I have the
honour of proposing the resolution which I have read
to you.—(Loud cheers.)
Sir E. B. LYTTON was next called on to address the
assembly. lie said—l confess that there are two
things which I value still more than even this library
itself ; and the one is, the generous spirit of emula-
tion with which the poor had co-operated with you
for their own improvement ; and next, the proof you
have given that you sympathize with all that can
elevate and instruct the classes whose industry you
employ. Gentlemen, the other day I asked the en-
lightened Minister of the United States what was the
heaviest rate in America ; and he told me, rather to
my surprise, that a poor-rate in some of the towns
was almost as heavy as it is in this country;
but he
said that the largest rate, and the most genera], was a
rate for the purpose of education_(llear)—" and
that," he said, " is a rate we never grumble at,
because it is in education that we find the principle
of our safety." But, gentlemen education does not
cease when we leave school. Education, rightly
considered, is the work of a life, and libraries are the
schoolrooms of grown-up men. I was exceedingly
touched and affected when, the other day, almost upon
my entrance into your borough I was taken by my
friend and amiable host, Sir E. Armitage, to see
the library and museum at which I be-
lieve owes as much to the hil Peel Park,
friend Mr. Brotherton as this library owes to Sir John
p....anthropy of my
Potter. I was moved and affected when I saw so
s with
many intelligent young faces bending over book
such earnest attention, and when I felt what a health-
ful stimulus had replaced the old English excitements
of the alehouse and the gin palace. Gentlemen,
whatever minds may be destined to grow UP, and
flourish under the shade of this tree of knowledge
which you have now planted, none of us can conjec -
excellent
ture ; but you of the present generation have nobly
done your duty, and may calmly leave the result to
time, sure that you have placed beside the sorrows,.
and cares, and passions of their common
the still monitors that instruct our youth, that directd
our manhood, and comfort our old age. Far blotene
the sphere of our daily labour you have openeaf our
gates of that world which, like the divine poem

"Dr. Fickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
,jme, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-

detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
--‘‘ The editor as conferred a grent boon on the sufferers from this

the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.

lam that that

man, will rise higher and higher, above the heatingi

and the rush of water, and be more and more clearly

better known and used this institution is.—(Cheers.)
Ladies and gentlemen, I hive great pleasure in mov-
ing the resolution which I have already read to you.
Mr. W. M. THACKERAY, who was much cheered,
said—ln rising to second this resolution you will see
that my trouble indeed is but small. The cause is so
good, and the advocate that you have heard upon it
has addressed you with an eloquence so noble and so
heart stirring, that it is useless for me to do anything
more than to second him with all my heart, and to
leave the case in the hands of this great jury. Of
course, gentlemen and ladies, among the many sani-
tary and social reforms which every man interested in
the public welfart. ,11? anxious to push forward,
the great measure of hooky will - not be neglected ;
and we look to this as much as we look to air, or as
we look to light or to water, for benefiting our poor.
If books do soothe, and cheer, and console—if books
do enlighten, and enliven,
~and fortify—if they do
make sorrow bearable to us, or. teach us to forget or
to endure it—if they do create in. us harmless
tears
or happy laughter—if they do brie g forth in us that
peace and that feeling of goodwill of which Mr.
Dickens spoke but now, and which anybody who reads
his books must have felt has come from them—
(Cheers)—surely we willnot grudge these inestimable
blessings to the poorest of our friends ; but will try,
with all our might, to dispense their cheap but pre-
cious benefits over all. Of the educated mechanics,
of course, it is not my business to speak, or even my
wish to pretend to be an . instructor. Those who
know the educated mechanics of this vast city, or of
this empire, are aware that they are in the babit of
debating the greatest literary and political questions
among themselves ; that they have leisure to think
and talent to speak much greater than that of other
men who may be obliged, like myself, to appear for a
moment before you; they have their poets and their
philosophers; their education is very much changed
from that of 100 years ago; when, if you remember,
Hogarth represented the idle mechanic as occupied
with "Moll Flanders: and the good mechanic as
having arrived at reading the history of that good
apprentice who was made Lord Mayor of London.
The mechanics of our days have got their Carlyles to
read, their Dickens on the shelf, and their Bulwers
by the side of them.—(Cheers.) It is now to the
very poor, to the especially poor, that this resolution
we have before US applies; and I am sure you will
use your endeavours to meet the purpose for which it
is intended, and to carry the contents of your volumes
among the cottages, the garrets, and the cellars. I
am aware, gentlemen, that to such a vast collection,
the sort of works which lam in the habit of writing
can but occupy a very small space. I know that our
novels are but what we may call !arts for the people,
whereas history is bread, and science is bread, and
historical and spiritual truth are that upon which
they must be fed.
Sir JAMES STEPHEN, introduced as the Professor
of Modern History at Cambridge, said the resolution
he had been called upon to propose was the following
" That in the free reference library this meet-
ing hails with great pleasure a provision for the wants
of the scholar and the student of every class, and in
most branches of literature, science, and art, and
records its firm expectation that by a continuance of
liberal aid this department of the institution will long
be a centre of intellectual information and improve-
ment."

Stranger as I am (said he), and unknown by name to
the vast majority of those whom I have the honour to
addieera, I nevertheless found myself truly unable to
decline the invitation which has brought me hither.
It reached me at Cambridge, where, as Sir John
Potter has stated, I hold the office of Professor of
Modern History. It found me there, surrounded by
every external aid which can promote the pursuit of
knowledge, and in possession of everything which can
recommend such pursuits either to the imagination or
the heart. It found me an inmate of one of those
ancient edifices, where the eternal and immutable re-
lation of the beautiful and holy was first revealed to
Spenser, to Milton, and to Wordsworth, that each of
them in his turn might be to his own age the apostle
of that revelation—where Isaac Barrow and Jeremy
Taylor where first taught to illustrate the whole com-
pass of divine learning, by lights drawn from the
whole compass of human learning—where Bacon
laid the deep foundations, and Newton reared
the glorious superstructure of the inductive
philosophy—where Cecil and Cromwell acquired the
rudiments of the great science of governing mankind
—where Wishart and Cranmer, Luther and Ridley,
were trained up to be the martyrs of the cause of
man's spiritual freedom—vvhere, emulous of their
great predecessors, a Herschel, an Adams, a Whewell,
and many others whom I might name, but especially
the professor of mineralogy, are labouring at this
moment to scale every height and to sound every
depth, both of natural and moral science—and
where, thanks to the pious zeal, and to the princely
munificence of our founders and benefactors, twenty
noble libraries are thrown open to every member of
our academic body. Now, if in the midst of such as-
sociations and of such associates I had disobeyed your
summons to come hither, and to show by my presence,
as far as I could, the 'profound interest which the
teachers of youth at Cambridge feel in the moral and
in the intellectual welfare of this great city, I should
not have known how to justify to myself this strange
superiority of my own accidental fortune ; and I
should have failed in one of the most grateful of the
duties which I owe to my own university.—(Cheers.)
Well assured am I that none of my colleagues there
—and, I trust, none of my pupils—are so heedless of
the lessons of history as to contemplate unmoved the
state or prospects of this mighty population. At
Cambridge, as everywhere else where educated men
are brought together, Manchester is a name of
deep and even awful significance ; for here is the
metropolis of that Titanic industry, on the con-
tinued success of which England has delibe-
rately pledged her station and her authority among
the nations of the world.—(Cheers.) Here are daily
exhibited, in the light of day, miracles which no
scepticism disputes—the miracles wrought by me-
chanism and by capital in the hands of a skilful, an
energetic, and an united population. Here is the
mainspring of that mighty commerce by which we
are united iu the bonds of poeco to every kindred,
tongue, and people of this earth. Here is the theatre
of that domestic union where meet in friendly con-
cert, or in generous rivalry, manual labourers from
each of the three kingdoms of our gracious Sove-
reign—intellectual labourers from every field of
science which is tributary to art—spiritual labourers
i from each of the churches which collectively consti-
tute the church universal. Here is the sphere of the
great and tremendous experiment, how physical force
in its most formidable aspect, may be brought into a
glad subjection to moral force in its gentlest and its
kindliest forms. Here has been proclaimed, with un-
exampled success and eloquence, the truth of that
which the French would call the solidarite of man.
kind ; the truth that the members of every human
society, from the domestic household to the great
commonwealth of nations, are knit together for good
or for evil by links wrought by the Almighty arm,
and which, therefore, it is not permitted to any
human hand with impunity to relax, which the
advocates of free trade deduce from political science,
aided by their own extensive experience, but which
they might with equal confidence have drawn
I from that inspired canon which teaches that, if one
1 member suffer all the members suffer with it; and if
one member rejoice all the members rejoice with it.—"„

prise creates gives to your sons the right to compete
for all the highest dignities—Parliatnentary, mili-
tary, intellectual, commercial, or what else, v,hich
England has to bestow ; and the scholastic-apparatus
which we possess gives to us the power of training
them for success in that noble competition. There-
fore the union of the two may eventutliv benefit -ach.
But we invite you or your eons to those twenty fibre-
ri, sof which I have spoken, where let me sap there
are diggings infinitely of richer value than those of
Australia. And you will perhaps now permit me
assuming, with but little pretension to assume, toe
character of the temporary and monitory represen-
tative of that illustrious seat of learning, you will
perhaps permit me to offer some short suggestion as
to which your own library may be most judiciously
collected and employed. Sir, if we had now among
us that sententious sage of ancient Greece who de-
clared that a great book was a great evil, he would
probably extend his maxim further, and say that a
great library was a greater evil still. And doubtless
such collections are nee without their inconveniences.
It may be admitted that they tend to a desultory,
discursive, and idle use of books; that, as John Bun-
yan might perhaps say, they deter many a student
from climbing the hill of difficulty, leaning on the
prickly staff of self-denial, that he may gather ripe
fruits on the summit, and induce him to loiter in the
valley below,
a where,,
by turning over countless
m
leaves, he
y gather a few sweet •
but barren flowers.
But which is
that of all• the blessings we possess of
which some simile abuse is. not possible ? In Utopia
they manage these things better ; but in this world in
which we liwvee we must begin by taking things as
they are if

an inestimable advantage.—(Cheers.) e But there
will be other visitors in this chamber; the will be
persons coming here to satiate that inextinguishabler
of
craving of the soul of man for exact knowledgestreet truth, and of comprehensive principles. Theirb
reading will be nutritive, because it will be systema-
tic and consecutive, and assimilated by meditation to
the general mass of their own thoughts and mental
habitudes. To gratify the sacred thirst, you will
make provision proportionate rather to the worthiness
than to the number of those by whom it. may be felt.
But thus to classify your library into the two libra-
ries of entertaining and of useful knowledge is truly
unworthy of the nobleness of your purpose. This
room should rather be, and will rather be, a palpable
and a visible commentary on the text of Francis
Bacon—that text, I mean, in which he declares that
the surest division of human learning is that which is
derived from the three faculties of the soul, the seat
of learning; philosophy being relative to the reason,
poetry to the imagination, and history to the me-
mory. Now, with regard to philosophy, there is
nothing which I should presume to offer. Divine
philosophy will assuredly not miss of her due
precedence in this place, when they by whom the
choice of books is to be made will be able to avail
themselves of the counsels of the Lord Bishop of this
diocese, and of my excellent and very learned friend
the President of the Independent College of this
county.—(Cheers.) And among the fellow citizens
and associates of Dalton it is not for me to offer any
suggestion as to the choice of books regarding human
philosophy. Neither will I attempt to say much re-
specting the second Baconian division, which is poetry ;
for poetry, whether she express herself in verse or in
prose, whether she shall assume the character of the
epic, or the drama, or the romance, or the fable, or the
ode, or allegory, poetry has been to every one of us,
for many a long year, either as a handmaid or a mis-
tress ; and I firmly believe there is no one here pre-
sent who could not extemporise en excellent catalogue
of the works of that kind which it would be most,
desirable to purchase ; nor any one who could
not more or less, from his own experience, illus-
trate in what manner such works would be most
fitly employed. But before I quit this topic entirely,
I cannot but in this presence take the liberty cf
expressing to the three great masters of the dramatic
romance of our own time and country the gratitude
which, both as a father of a family and es a tutor of
youth, I cherish towards them.—(Applause.) The
author that has been pleased to depreciate a little his
own era the author of Vanity Fair, and the other
author whose works in that kind are so numerous that
I can hardly illustrate them, except by naming the
Cextons—these great authors have a negative merit,
the value of which will be best appreciated by those
who are best acquainted with their continental rivals
that they have never caused
—the merit, I mean,
modesty to blush or virtue to frown.—(Applause.)
But the merit of the writings of the third is of a
yet higher nature ; it is that amid all the riot of
their fancy, their humour, and their whim, while
they teach us to laugh most heartily at each other's
follies, and to be dissatisfied with each other's
faults, they still have in common the one unbroken
aim to teach us all to assist, to pity, to forgive,
and to love one another—(Applause)—and hence it
is not without reason that the latest of those works,
which I have bad the good fortune to rend,w has taken
to itself that fitting title of Household ord B. And

because whatever is done in that matter forms the
basis, the skeleton of all the future knowledge which
the reader can acquire, and gathers around those dry
bones and imparts to them the beauties of form, of
colour, and of vitality. We are living, Sir, at a time
when it is not permitted to any man to withhold
the little which it may be in his power
to contribute towards the advancement of such
objects as this. These mighty discoveries and strange
inventions, these gigantic revolutione, these unheard
of migrations, this heaving of the lower strata of
human society, this increasing power of the popular
voice—all these things testify that we have reached
the accomplishment of the prophecy of that time when
" men shall run to and fro on the earth, and know-
ledge shall be increased,"—and therefore that we are
approaching a great crisis and catastrophe of human
affairs. To approach such a crisis or
catastrophe in
a right spirit, it behoves us all to do our best.
You have done your best ; you have erected
this temple of knowledge in the midst of a
multitude, whom now, as we have heard so re-
cently, we regard with composure and hope, but
whom altered circumstances might
cause us to regard
with very different feelings. The future, however,

it imp'•bale to overrate the political utility of such
an institution as this. Think what a book is—what
every one of those volumes upon your shelves is. It is
a portion of the eternal mind, caught in its progress
through the world, stamped in an instant, and pre-
served for eternity. Think what it is—that enor-
mous amount of human sympathy
and
intelligence
that is contained in these volumes, think and what it
is that this sympathy should be communicated to the
masses of the people. Compare the state of the man
