international exchanges, which
brings in return the valuable pub
lie documents of other nations.
Liberal appropriations are annual
ly made by Congress, for the pur-
chase of books and newspapers,
while the large amount of binding
required is executed at the govern
ment printing office without tax
ing the funds of the library. The
annual appropriations-after pro-
vision has been made for the for
eign and domestic serials, and for
the most important issues of the
press abroad in Jurisprudence, po-
itical economy, history, and allied
topics-are distributed in the pur-
chase of books in all departments
of literature and science, no gene
raj topic being neglected, although
as yet none can be assumed as
being complete. To that end
auction lists and trade catalogues
are assiduously read and profited
by, and especial attention is paid
to the collections of dealers in
second hand books-those purvey-
ors for good libraries.
The Library of Congress is
thus beginning to assume nation
al proportions, and is rapidly
gaining on the government librar-
les at Paris and at London, while
it is made more practically useful
than any other great library in the
world by the annual issue of q
printed catalogue of its accessions.
With this catalogue-arranged al
phabetically by authors and again
by subiects-it is an easy task for
the frequenters of the library to
obtain books on any subject de-
sired, especially when they can OBJ
tain the further aid of the accomp-
lished librarian and his willing as
sistants. The practical result is
shown by the register of books
taken from the library by those
enjoying that privilege. Fifteen
years ago not more than three out
of five Congressman used the Ii
brary; now nine out of ten take
out books, some having over a
hundred volumes during a session.
