The foundation of the British Mu-

paid the executors of Sir Hans Sloane,
in exchange fer his books, manuscripts
and curiosities, which were to be held
by the trustees for the benefit of the
nation. a bill was passed through
parliament for the purchase of the
Sloane collection, and of the Harleian
MSS, costing 10000. To these, with

RICH AND ANCIENT WORKS.
AS the old center of civilization, Italy
is of course the country where the old
est libraries are found. The Vatican
library at Rome and the Laurentian
library at Florence, are sufficient TO
rank Italy before most of the states in
that respect. In spite of long centuries
of persecution and suffering, Italy is
still rich in books and MSS. There
are probably more books in united Italy
than in any country except France.
When the Italian government pub
lished it's valuable report in 1855, which
showed that while the number OF
books in Austria GAGS, 000) was greater
than the total number in public Ii
braries in Great Britain, Prussia, Ba>

France 4,369. 00O and in Italy 4,149,2SD.
The Vatican library stande in tho
first rank. as regards antiquity, since
from the middle of the fifth century
brary at Rome. Nicholas ", who
reigned in 1455, may be considered the
true founder
Few libraries are so ma significantly
honored as is the Biblioteca Vatican.
The famous Codici Vaticana are placed
in the great double hall, which is dec,
GRATED with frescoes depicting an
cient libraries and councils of the
church. At the end of the great hall
is an immense hall. richly decorated
and opening from right to left. The
present official estimate is about $50
coo volumes, including $500 fifteenth
century editions
Among the 25,6OO MSS. are some of
the most valuable in the world for
antiquity and intrinsic Importance. The
Biblioteca Palatine, in Florence, is the
largest library in Italy. There are
many valuable autograph originals
of famous works in this collection, in

little library was given a place in

In 1929 there died in Newingtoh,
England, a certain Rev. DR.. Mill
ington, rector of that place, and he
left quite a library for the benefit
of foreign lands The trustees of
his estate thought New York was
just the place for the collection, and
in due time the books arrived and
were installed in the little library.
In 1854 the library had grown to the
dignity of having a board of trustees,
who collected 1900 and gave 1t a fresh
start. George III. granted it a charter
in 1712, but during the revolution it
suffered, but was again doomed by the
old Knickerbockers, whose descend
ants today keep up the family interest
in the institution. The f6oO collected
in 1854 was used to buy real estate and
as the town grew the library people
sold out and moved northward. BY
repeated sales, that s3,003 now repre-

1924; Burtis Strudmore, from 1924 to
1923; Philip j. Forbes, from 1923 to 1855;

Of Col. Ingersoll has much to do
with their adoption of his views,
but as far as he possibly could he
remained passive and allowed them
to find their own religious refuge
More than once Ingersoll has said
that there was no sacrifice within
the scope of legitimate possibility
which he would not undergo, could
he believe what the Bible teaches.
1t would give him greater joy to ac-
cept its promises than the indulg-
ence of any known pleasure. 1t is
right at this spot that the abnormal
development of the savage thirst
for positivism in the mans mental
structure intervenes and raises the
barriers.
AN EARLY RISER.
Col. Ingersoll is an early riser for
a New Yorker, and he is generally
up at o'clock. He shaves himself
and takes q cold bath with the reg
ularity of clockworl. The break
fast hour is o'clock, and usually
the whole family sit down at the
table. There is no end to the con-
versa tion at that family board. All
of them are readers and thinkers.
The colonel enters into all the fam
lily, talk, whether it be about poll
tics, music, the stage, some new
actor, a recent book, a question in
finance or law, or the doings of
his baby grandchildren.
Half an hour is usually given
to the morning meal, and the next
thirty minutes the colonel spends in
looking over his home mail and
CHANGING over the papers. He is an
astomsh1ngly rapid reader, and
grasps the news events of the world
with a speed only equaled by Mr..
Depew.
AT o'clock the colonel walks to the
Th1rty-third street station of the Sixth
avenue IL road, and in the twenty
minutes ride to Rector street finishes
the work of getting through the morn
ing papers. Half-past finds him in
his law office, at No. As Wall street

Baker, his private secretary.

Mr.. Baker deserves more than pass
