A POSSIBLE accession TO the Congress
sional Library depends upon the pas
sage of a bill now before Congress
which is explained as follows by the
Washington Chronicle
Should the action Of the House for
the transfer of copyrighted works from
the Interior Department TO The Congress
sional Library be concurred In by the
Senate. ii will cause the addition OF sew
eFal thousand volumes of valuable V orks
to said library, and will carry the entire
nnmber of such books up TO zoe 000
The library is only in possession Of the
works which have been copyrighted
since 1865, there having been no law
previous to that date for depoSi,ing
copy ighted books there. Of course Il
very large portion of the books " i'll not
be of enough value to have place upon
the regular shelves OF the library, but
will rather be subjects for safe storage
than otherwise.
