Governments of Europe, more wise,

Of knowledge in material shape It
is TO be.
Upon the question of establishment,
there y likely 10 be much difference
ns agiaiea W. lAS.a qpr owe views,
and shall present and urge them ut the
proper time with whatever force We
may BE- master OF. For the present, II
rs sufficient to say tba. the library, as
A whole, should be divorced from Con
grcss, Us well ~ removed from the
Capitol building that It should be DIS
tinctively chartered in pcrpetuity as
Tho National Library of the United
States;n that il should be literally en-
dowed, either ,sifh an accrelfse fS''a'
or with standing appropriation, made
sacred from the despoiling bands OF
small primers and ,,arers and, finally,
that il should be provided with a
scheme Of administration entirely sepa
rate from or out Of reach of the polti-
cal mutations OF our Government
Upon the question of suitable edl-
fee, and its location, there will also be
difference Of opinion. Already there
is dispute on this point, between
those who advocate the purchase OF
block OF ground East OF the Capitol
and those who favor the use Of the
now vacant Government property in
judiciary Square. Both these plans
have their advantages and drawbacks (;
the East Capitol project having the
commcndaton of proximity to the
balls OF legislation, and the fault OF in
definite cost, and possible leeway for a
Job in real estate while the Judiciary
Square plan has the advantage OF
property already belonging TO the
Government, with the failing Of distance
from the Capitol. To this question,
however, suitable attention can here
after be paid. The main thing for the
present is to arouse public interest in
the concerns of the library indeed, to
inform the public generally that
among their possessions is a frst-rate
collection Of books, which has grown
up to colossal proportions almost I'M
known to them, aud which must be
taken care OF at once. Aud, while we
are about ii, we may remark that next
in present value TO the library itself are
the personal services of Mr. Spofiord,
the modest, Woodworking Librarian.
