Though it is the popular idea that
public libraries are of modern origin,
there is proof that the Anglo.Saxon
kings of England were disposed to
erect them, and works were brought
from Ireland, where sciences had been
much earlier cultivated than in Great
Britain. But the invasion of the Nor
mans stopped the spread of libraries,
and the first in England after the con.
quest was established at oxford. in
Durham now Trinity College, in the
thirteenth century by Richard de Bury,
who purchased from thirty TO forty
volumes of the Abbot of st. Adams
Tor fifty pounds weight of silver. Be
for that time books We're kept in chests
the end of the seventeenth century
there were only six public libraries in
Great Britain. The first circulating
library was founded by Allan Ramsay,
in 1925, whence he diffused plays and
works of fiction among the people of
Edinburg. So successful were Ram
says efforts that it is said that within
seventy years nearly every town and
large village possessed library. The
first in London was started by BOtho,
n bookseller, in 1910 Birmingham OBJ
tanned its first circulating library in
1851. The next step was the free IL
brary, Manchester possessing the first,
in 1850, being quickly followed by Llv-
erpool, Birminghai and other large
towns. -Chicago News.

BY experiences such rs have fallen
TO the lot OF the town of Dunwich the
attention is drawn from time to time to
the fact that the sea is making serious
encroachments upon Englaud's shores
But, beyond inspiring vague con.
seriousness that they are submitting to
an understandable invasion, the cues.
ton so far has aroused little more
than local interest The British Asso-
citation, however. has had the subject
in hand. and five years ago appointed
committee to make fnll investga-
ton. With the assistance of the coast
guard the inquiry has now been com
pleted, and its results We're communi-
Gated in very instructive paper which
was read before the association at
their concluding meeting.
The report gives details of the distri.
button of the seas attack, and of the
average rate NJ which its advance is
made, and II is evident that encroach-
ment presents very grave problem to
jewellers upon coasts so seriously men,
aced. 1t is curious to note that though
It is part of the Wesh coast which
suffers most, generally speaking. the
eastern shores are wasting most rapid
ly. Nature has provided the western
coastline with rugged cliffs. which sue
cessively defy the onslaughts of the
Atlantic. Even in Ireland the chief
losers are found in the eastern counties
of Down and Dublin. In many places
there is slight compensating gain.
But the gist of the report is the i'm
portance which it attaches to artificial
structures and sea walls, which has
been proved by inquiry and compari-
son to be n most valuable protection.
