Rooks RuthIeasIy Destroyed.

The Puritans destroyed many COZ
lectiUns Of books In the monasterieA,
and even Cromwell burned the Or.
ford library, then one Of the finest IN
Europe. Extremists In revolutlcn, 40
In religion, have been equally de-
structive as regards books. The Span.
ish inquisition and the French revo-
luton were as one in this respect. The
crusaders were destroyers Of what they
regarded as heretical books, and In
Russia today the war Of orthodoxy on
sectarian dissent gtill maniEests itself,
among other things, in the ruthless de-
struction Of the books Of the non.
conformists.
