preserving their books, papers &c. from fire.

months since has preserved our books, papers
and cash in as good a condition as they were

morning, which destroyed the entire block of
buildings corner of Chestnut and Fifth streets.
The above safe was in use in our Office, on
the second floor of our building, from which
place it fell into the cellar, and remained there
until the fire was out. The Safe was then re-
moved and opened in the presence Of at least
1000 persons, who witnessed the good condi-
ton Of its contents. Will you please have
the Safe and Locks repaired. as we intend TO
put it in use again, having perfect confidence
in its ire-proof qualities.

NIR. EDITOR. There are, doubtless, in
many families Of our Commonwealth, Ma.
nuscript Letters, Papers, and Public Do
cuments, Printed Pamphlets, and Books Of
old dates, containing much that illustrates
the character and habits Of the early sett-
lers of our country ;-disclosing names
hitherto unknown to fame, that deserve to
be held in remembrance events that
form important links in the chain Of our
History, yet unpublished, or but little
known and Facts and Incidents that
will increase in interest with the lapse Of
time. These Manuscripts and Books, of
little value to the possesscr, but of great
value to the public, are fast disappearing.
At every house-cleansing, and every reno
val, many OF them are destroyed, to get rid
Of the trouble of finding place for them.
The PENNSYLVANIA STATE LIB
RARY is the proper Depository for all
such works. They viii there be accessible
to every individual who may come to the
Seat of Government, and have the curiosi-
ty to look at them, and they will be safely
kept for the perusal and examination Of
future Historians and Antiquarians. As
the Librarian, l would, therefore, respect
fully request all your subscribers who may
read this note, to examine their Libraries,
Chests and Cases, and those parts of their
Nv ,iings where such articles are usually
kegt, AID if they fiad any Manuscript, or
Pamphlet, or Book of the kind We have
named, that they would be willing to part
with, to send them by mail, or otherwise,
addressed to the estate Librarian, Harris
burg, Pa" Every work of this descrip-
ton will be thankfully acknowledged, put
into permanent form, and preserved with
the utmost care in the Library.
Authors and Publishers are invited to
deposit copies of their works in the State
Library. They will remain here for the
perusal Of future generations, and rs the
permanent record of their industry, learn
ing and genius.
