A Liberal Offer from the Appletons.
Free Foundations for Libraries Eperywders.

The establishment of libraries by charitable
endowment, or the co operation of intelligent
public spirited citizens, is subject that should
ais, q means of popular education, q relief OF
crowded prisons and amshouses, direct pro-
moter of the peace, happiness, and wealth Of
communities, the public library ranks with the
church and the school. 1t appears, from signs
cropping out here and there, especially in the
West, as if the times were propitious for the fur
therance of this great work Such, at least, is
the conviction entertained by D. Appleton s G o.,
who have received, recently, many inquiries
from different States, asking to be informed as to
the best method Of founding libraries, and Sc
Letting books. In response to the widespread
feeling thus shown to exist upon the subject, and
to give it powerful influence, they have deter
mined to offer direct and substantial encourage
mcnt for the formation Of public libraries in all
parts of the United States. The plan which
they propose is in scope, hberalty, and precise
adaptation to the ben efcent end sought to be ac-
complished, unparalleled in the history of public
enterprises It is as follows:
The Appletons offer to give Free what may be
called the foundation for libraries everywhere.
They will present to each club of persons desir-
Gus Of forming public library complete set, in
16 volumes, of their standard New American
Cyclopada. This great national work, the only
publication of the kind is one which organizers
Of libraries usually buy first of all books, be-
cause it is the one most often consulted by per-
sons of all classes and yocatons, in search of re-
liable information on all kinds of topics Sixteen
large octave volumes, containing many thousand
pages of the most valuable reading matter, for
the purchase of which they would ordinarily
spend their money, they therefore receive for
nothing. In one sense, the Cyclopsdia is in it
self library SO that from the start, the Clubs
will have the better part of what they wanted for
nothing. The only return asked by the donors
for this munifcent gift is, that the Club shall
proceed to raise and expend not less than FIVE
hundred dollars to buy other books. In other
words, that the Club shall build the superstruct-
ure on the foundation laid by the Appletons. In
the selection of suitable books by hands expert
enced for many years in the making of libraries,
the Appletons will render all the assistance re-
CURED, and supply the books, with the usual dis
count. The Cyclopadia thus literally becomes a
gift
This extraordinary plan, so far as it has been
submitted to the judgment of individuals, meets
with unanimous approval. When it comes to be
generally known it cannot fail to elicit prompt
recognition and thankful acceptance from the IN
habitants Of hundreds of cities, towns and vii
lagos in the United States.
