The End of Books.

What brings about tho end of books? Is it fire, water, worms7 As every ship launched is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the fnis of the book is it's reduction Go ashes. What be- came of the Alexandrian library? Did tho SaraceBs burn it in GAO? There is this question asked Was there any i- brary at Alexandria containing 700, GOO books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor insists that if there had been a library it was burned in the time of Ju- lius C9sar Tradition seems to indicate, however, that there was library in the Serapeum, by no means large col lection, but whether destroyed by The ophilus or Theodosius is not known. It looks as if the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Re- cent explorations of Alexandria, ie95-6, show no traces of the Serapeum. The seaport of Egypt was built on damp foundation, and, granting that there was library, if not destroyed by fire, then the papyri might have suffered A1oAh ueNSS hue to WdeSi' OooAS oA eO- day taken to India. to the southern states and to the West Indies perish through mildew.
