LIBRARIES.
The mode of transporting the contents
of the suppressed Converts, is not one to
be praised. An eye witness thus describes
the removal of the books in the Convent of
Gesu and Maria in the Corso. No Delegate
of the Ministry of Public Instruction was
visible. About twenty soldiers were pre-
sent. Some of these, mounted on ladders,
took the books from the shelves, and threw
them in heaps on the floor of the library.
Others picked them up to the number of
ten or twelve at time, and carrying them
down stairs flung them into the street. The
books and manuscripts were lifted by a
third batch of soldiers from the street,
and placed in carts. The stairs and the
approaches to the Convent were Uttered
with folios and fallen volumes, and trodden
oy the men passing up and down. The
books We're afterwards carried to the Min
erva library, where they were doubtless
subjected to a similar treatment before
being stored in the cellars and garrets.
