PETER FORCE LIBRARY The Joint Com
nlittee on the Congressional Library at the
close of the last session requested the Libra
rian 10 make personal examination OF the
library of Peter Force, esq, collection espe-
cially rich in what pertains to the history OF
America; ); he has complied with their request
and submits digest of the contents OF the
library The New York Historical Society
offered Mr.. Force 100000 for his collection,
provided the amount could be raised by sub
sc,iption. 1t is now proposed that Congress
shall purchase it at that price, and thus retain
in the national library what it has cost forty
five industrious years to collect. The same
sum bas likewise been offered by speculator,
but Mr. Force refuses to let so valuable col
lection be scattered. The library contains 22,-
529 volumes, and, counting the pamphlets as
volumes, will number CO. 600. 1t is the largest
private collection of printed books relating to
America ever brought together. 1t contains
complete files of the leading American news
papers from their earliest existence. No col
lection of pamphlets relating to America, IS so
full These pamphlets were printed before
the newspaper press, by its variety and the
frequency of its issues, had assumed its present
importance. There are nearly 40, 600 OF these
historical pamphlets. The collection OF maps
is full and unique. Among the other valuable
aliases is complete copy of the very scarce
"A,las of the Battles Of the American Reyolu-
ton" The assembage of maps numbe over
1000. There are forty-eight folio volumes OF
historical autographs, including numerous
letters from Revolutionary generals and states
men, The whole number Of volumes 10 manu-
script is 429 We,have no such single collec,,
tion of treasures relating to the history OF
America.

tain class of young men in every community,
and ours, we fear, does not form an exception to
the rule, who having been tenderly reared in
the midst of plenty and having been educated
to 20 useful employment are now, from various
causes, deprived Of the means on which they de-
pended for support in the life of iiIeness and
ease to which they seem to have devoted
themselves With no object in life to stimu-
lac them to exertlon, they tritter away their
existence in vain pursuits and are a constant
source of anxiety to all whose kindred blood
produces feeling Of interest in their welfare.
These individuals are so easily to be recogniz-
ed, that it is unnecessary to describe them.
10 be known they need only be seen Their
whole life is frutless Of good to themselves or
the community in which they reside. They
have been brought up with such exalted no
tons Of their own importance, that they think
it degrading to be employed in any useful
avocation, and they drag out their miserable
lives, burden to themselves and a source of
modification to their friends. Society gains
nothing from them while they live, and their
death is looked upon by all as relief:
Truly are such men to be pitied, and partic-
ularly 10 be pitied, because there can be no

travel with accelerated speed on the road which

While the means Of indugipg them have been

wholesome exercise is gene forever, and that
they will continue in their downward career
until death puts period to their useless lives.
