'NO THE PUBLlC,-.rht undersigned committee. in
\ comp lance with the duty Imposed upon them by
the Board Of Managers Of The Jefferson Library respect
fully call the attention Of the Public the present con.
diion Of that institution institution fo the benefit Of
Apprenlces ard Minors" Of The City Of Washington"
Ihis Library has been in existence twelve years and
contains nearly t'oo thousand uoiumes. The umber of
subscribers at present is very snail and for want of the
necessary means OF procuring suitable location,
It is now situated IN very obscure part Of the city;
which, with many other difficulties under which abors
is very detrimental TO the objects for viii b it was nten
d"d Its present income only deirays the indispensable
expenses of the institution Thus increase books
IS utterly Imposslbe and it is only to the ibe1ality Of
The citizens OF Washington the Board of Managers can
look io that purpose For these reasons they are com
prlrd to coH on those for whose benefit the Library was
established And why it they do not give this support?
The pr'ce OF subscription is small. being tw ny five
cents for thi ee monhs-a which every apprentice
aud minor can easily procure.
II IS unnecessary to dilate upon the benefits which NAV
be derived iIom this Library by those who viii! afford il
Their patronage. All kinds of books there; and there
are few sbl"cts perhaps npon which some information
cannot be had from them. Laery it has deprecated
much the sphere of its usefulness has been conined
within very arrow limits-and on what account. Be.
cause the youth Of The city will not patronze --aud it
IS to then We nov appeal. Ii this appeal be answered
by prompt snh7crpon E,r III" books may still claim
TO b. raNrd am n1st the most useful institutions of the
District; If rot II can dTaa ont but miserable exis
il nee The oblivion TO which it has been CONSIGNED
through neglect will close more heavily over and II
may Irc'rteYahly fail, Bet viii h be su.ersds Will
the apprentice and minors still turn deaf ear TO its
cal's tl"W Flil uleY refuse The benefits
which are afforded them by 1t? Can they look with an
nnntcresc eye or he any valuable works which there
lay idle aud unused j! We confdeny answer No
The several Debating Societies in the city coonosed
Of young persons might also derive much usefl knov
edge from Mis- Their d. bates are mostly on hs
oricd questons and with information OH such s,biacts
the Library abonnds.
The Boar ot Managers have formed themselves into
soliciting commit 81, and will soon ral on the citizens
for donations 1t hoped their labors will be rewarded
with success.
