been 30 years making it, and have spared Ito pains,
opportunity, or erpr-nse, to Mate it what it is. While
residing in Paris I devoted eve afterhoon rwas dig=
engaged, for a summer or two; in examining all the

my own hands, and putting by every thing which re-
late to America, dud, indeed, -whatever was rare and

fected ; because it is hardly probable that the some
Opportunities, the same time, industry, perseverance,
and expense, with some knowl:dge of the bitoiogrus

currence.

"' During the saute period, and after thy return. to
America,./ was led to procure also whatever related
to the duties of those in the highest concerns of the

between nine and 10,000 volumes, while it nitladis
what is chiefly valuable in science and literature ge•
nerally, extends more particularly tc whatever ne-
longs to the American statesman I in the 4lomatic

of your friendship, therefore, to make 1.1 rite the ten-

knowing myself of whom the Committee coesista ; I
enclose you a catalogue, which will enalale them tit
judge of its contents; needy the whole are %veil
boudd, abundance, of

choicest editions. They may be valued by persoes,
named by fliettselves, and the payment made conve-
nient to the public ; it may be, for instance, in such
annual litstalments as the law of Congress has left at
ti sir disposal, or in stockof any of their late loans, or
,of any.loan they may institute at this session, so as to
spare the present culls of our country, and await its
days of pease and prosperity. They may enter, never-.
theles, into immediate useof it, as 18 or '2O waggons
would place it in Washington in a single trip of a
fortnight. I should be willing, indeed, to retain
few of the books to amuse the time I have yet to pass,
which might be valued with the rest, bit? not Included
in the sum of valuation until they should restored
at my death, which 1 would carefully provide I'm', ,r)
that the whole library, as it stands in the cat:tingle: at
this moment, should be their's, without any garbling.
Those I should like to retain would he:clarity classi-
cal and mathematical, some few in other branches,
and particularly one of the five Encyclopedias, in the
catalogue; but this, if not acceptable, would not be
urged.
" I must add, that I have not revised the 17oraty
since I came home to live, so that it is probable some
of the books 'may" be missing, except in ri.e chapters of
law and divinity, which have been tesiscd, and st.ind
exactly as in the catalogue, which will of course to
needed, whether the tender be accepted or not. IJo
note know that it contains any, branch of sciehce a hich
Congress would wish to exclude from Uwe. collection."
There is, in fact, no subject to which a 111,enber of
Congress may nut have occasion to refer. 13ut such
a wish would not correspond with my views of pre.
venting its dismemberment. My design is 'either to
place it in their hands entire, or preserve it s.) here. I
am engaged in making an alphabetical index of the
authors names to be annexed to the catalogue, in or-
der to facilitate the finding their works in the cata-
logue, which 1 will forward to you as soon as com-
pleted. Any agreement you shall be so good as to
take the trouble of entering into with the Committee,
I hereby confirm. Accept the assurance of my great
esteem and respect. (Signed)
