    with the subject will agree with Lord Iddesleigh in his reply to the deputation which

    waited upon him the other day with reference to a grant of Government Blue Books to public

    I libraries . Not a few will be surprised that I Buch a grant should ever have been demanded .

    HI The great difficulty in connection with many I H of our libraries in these days is a continued

    P I want of _ £ space ____ . « . Wh TTt 7 "l y should 1 _ 1 -T the j 1 space that i * i II exists be filled up with an ever and rapidly

    increasing mass of Blue Books , which , in nineteen cases out of twenty , are absolutely

    reports connected therewith could be bought for a very trifling sum . We ¦ cannot help
