    Rjlhe Library Association Was Only Forme...

    are engaged in the quest of knowledge under difficulties . The Times put this aspect of the

    matter very well the other day when it said that readers have multiplied , even < if scholars * have

    not ; and when it added that , since'the modern library has become not so much the resort of

    the learned as the resort of the learner , an entirely new conceptiqn has arisen of the

    duties of a librarian . London , as Mr . Maunde Thompson hinted

    in his admirable papeir on the * Future of Free Libraries , ' is far behind the provinces

    in the establishment ef such institutions ; but one secret of metropolitan — apathy in the matter

    unquestionably springs from the popular misapprehension of the character and work of

    I the British Museum . Very little was done in regard to free libraries in London before the

    Jubilee year ; but > happily , this deficiency is now being rapidly supplied , and it is

    hoped that these new local libraries will II relieve the congestion of the reading-room in

    II Bloomsbury—a consummation devoutly to b © - I wished by all engaged ift original research .

    I ! Meanwhile , local authorities , up and down the country , would do well to lay to heart the

    1 statement of the Principal Librarian of the I British Museum , that the * first duty of a free

    I library is to collect the literature of the dis-I tricts , and to get together all manuscripts of

    I local interest , which might otherwise be lost . I As for the rest—if the Democracy can only be

    I induced to believe it—standard books are their 1 noblest friends . Channjng indeed spoke

    no-I thing more than the simple truth when he as-I serted that such books were the true levellers

    I of society , since they lifted whosoever had I sense enough to consult them into the spiritual

    I presence of the best and greatest of our race . t * o
