appears that the aggregate number OF books IN all pub
Inc Libraries in the United States barely exceeds nu-
merically the number contained in one European city

compass OF one library would not greatly exceed one
of the first rate libraries OF Europe. They also show
that all the hooks all the public Libraries OF this
county form but about one tenth of the nunber
contained IN the pubic Libraries of Germany and hall
the number in those of PARIS. These startling
general facts, which should engage the attention OF
Congress when becomes necessary again to devise
means for getting rid of surplus revenue. How alb

and about $4,000 manuscripts, besides more than two
millions of medals, maps, engIavings, and historical
documents The library IN the Vatican al Rome Is
said to contain 400 0O0 printed volumes and 10000
manuscripts There are large libfar Is In Naples,
