Or brooks faint babbling over stones

Are there too many books in the

are questions which never lose their m

the sitting of books. The overpopula-
ticn of the world by hooks was. il Is
said. an anxious problem in the mind of
MI Gladstone. He thought that the
kcy of tho question lay in the hands of
tho United Kingdom and the United
