freely Of IL, simply by obtaining the signature Of
a professor of the University, or of any promi-
nent citizen who Is willing to be surety for the
good usage and prompt return of the books.
The method of registering the books which are
taken out has pleased me much, and il seems TO
be capable of general application. On slip Of
paper, about four inches long and two broad, are
written at the top the title Of the book desired
and the authors name at the bottom, the bor-
rower's address at the left of the date.
This is handed to the librarian, the book is
sought and delivered, and the slip is deposited in
a compartment like those which are devoted TO
letters in the general delivery of our Boston post
Office Of course the compartment is determined
by the owners name. When the book is return
ed, the Librarian merely draws the slip from its
place, tears it and the thing is over. There is no
need Of a set of books, the whole is done very
quickly; the uniformity of the Slips in their gene
raj appearance, enables the librarians to look
them rapidly over, and see whether the books
have been retained beyond the proper time. The
size of the Royal Library Berlin has this disad-
vantage, that it is necessary to deposit one IS slip
n box, provided for the purpose, at least two
hours before receiving his book, but of course no
me thinks Of waiting He calls for his book by
card, always in his possession, CON
aiming his name and that of his surety.
