APPRENTICES library.

We are happy to refer our readers to an in
teresting article on orr first page, on the sub
lect Of Apprentices Libraries. The advantages
Of these institutions, which are some Of the rich
fruits ofan enlightened and liberal age, and the
general diffusion Of knowledge, are set forth in
plain and explicit manner. II is not therefore
necessary for Us to say word in their support.
We may be permitted to alude TO the import
ance and increasing interest Of these moral en-
gincs, by merely stating the fact, that although
first established in this country within four years
there is now hardly place Of any considerable
magnitude ia the northern and middle states, but
what NAV beast Of one Of these valuable insttu-
TONS among its charitable establishments.
Ia Baltimore we have lately seen, that the
most distinguished men in the city, have come
forwartwith an enlightened zeal, TO promote by
these means the diffusion Of information among
apprentices. Robert Goodloe Harper who is
/ Justly considered an ornament to his state and
his country, has lately accompanied donation
of books to the Apprentices Library Of Balti-
more, with letter, in which he highly recon-
mends these institutions for their promise of ex-
1 tensiye usefulness. We may safely praise what
such man may deem worthy Of patronage. We
trust it may not be reproach to Us that the
/ Apprentices Library Of Portland is suffered TO
langush after having given conspicuous proofs
Of its utility. The greatest geniuscs which have
/ ever instructed and adorned society have arisen
from that class Of mankind for whose particular
benefit this library is established. Mind does not
depend on rank, profession or standing, but may
be developed in every variety of life and may be
brought into vigorous action by tracing the re-
searches, or receiving the light Of others which
have gone before it. Books furnish these re-
searches and this light.
