ANNUAL REPORT
TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
CITY OF BOSTON
1893.
BOSTON :
ROCKWELL AND CHURCHILL, CITY PRINTERS.
1894.
To His Honor Nathan Matthews, Jr.,
Mayor of the City of Boston :
The Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston have the honor to submit herewith their forty-second annual report, together with the report of the Committee for the Examination of the Library for the year 1893.
In accordance with the policy that has been pursued for some years past, the members of the Committee for the Examination of the Library were appointed early in the year, in order that they might have ample time to make a careful study of the Library, and to formulate the outcome of their investigations. That they made a faithful use of the time aftbrded them is shown by the result of their many and long deliberations, embodied in their report, to which the Trustees take great pleasure in inviting the careful consideration of the city government. In view of the thoroughness of the work of the Committee, it seems unnecessary for the Trustees to touch upon many of the subjects exhaustively discussed in the Committee's report.
The Trustees and the Committee have the same common object in view, and that is the best use of the Library. Some of the matters in the Committee's report have received the attentive consideration of the Trustees for years past, but they welcome the assistance that is offered them b}^ minds fresh to the subject. The friendly cooperation of so many scholarly and accomplished persons is of the greatest assist- ance, and furnishes a fresh proof of the wisdom of the City Council in providing for the appointment of such a body of citizens.
The Trustees desire to call particular attention to the urgent request of the Committee for an increase in the annual appropriation. The careful examination by the Committee of the extent of the work done by the Library, and of its increased needs, has convinced them of the necessity of more money, if it is proposed to keep the Library up to the stand- ard now attained and to extend its usefulness. The use and value of the Library have undoubtedly increased beyond the greatest expectations of its founders. What twenty years ago might have been considered a ver}^ ample and generous allowance for the whole institution is now barely more than requisite to keep the branches alone in efficient condition.
A very striking analogy between the need of new accommo- dations and the need of an increased appropriation may
2 City Document No. 21.
be dniwii tVoin the liistoiy of Iho old Library l)uil(ling. When the present Central Library was built, it was thought to be sufHcient for the accommodation of the books and of the public for a hundred years ; but this building was so far out- grown in a dozen years that it became necessary to double the amount of shelving. But even with this doubling and M'ith all the increase that can possibly be made, there is to-day not room for the books actually belonging to the Library, and the Trustees were unable, during the past year, to find place for a very valuable collection of books given to the city. While every possible square foot of space has been availed of for the use of the public, there is no room for thousands who wish to consult the Library.
In 1879, the annual appropriation for the Librarj' service was $120,000. But this did not include repairs of the buildings or the rents of the various branch buildings. Since 1888, all these rents and repairs, amounting to about $10,000 a year, have been charged to the annual appropriation. In the year 1879, the number of books in the Library was .■)45,734 : to-day there are 597,152. The number of persons employed was one hundred and forty-one : to-day it is one hundred and sixty-one. Since that time there have been ■established one branch library and eleven delivery stations, three of which iiave reading-rooms attached. In 1879, de- livery stations were open only a few hours a week : now they are open the whole or the greater part of every day. In 1879, Bates Hall was not open after six o'clock on week-days and not at all on Sunday : now it is open until nine o'clock on week-days, and from two to nine on Sundays.
The use of Bates Hall has much more than doubled, being 163,790 in 1879, and 384,342 the past year. With all this increase of use and of demands upon the Library, there has l>een no corresponding increase in the annual appropriation. Though the Trustees have been enabled, by the exercise of the strictest economy, to administer the Library, they feel, with the Examining Committee, that the progress of the Li- brary has been retarded and its usefulness, in some degree, impaired by lack of means.
The Committee call attention to the unsuitableness for its present purposes of the rooms used for the Dorchester Branch Library. They have not stated the case too strongly. The rooms of this branch are not only wholly inadequate, but their location is by no means desirable, being in a building occupied in part by the police court and police station. The citizens of a large district like Dorchester are certainly en- titled to a larger and better-situated library. Under the very efficient management of the officer at present in charge, its

growth and usefulness have increased beyond what the public have a riglit to expect, considering the cramped quarters and unfavorable conditions. The Trustees will gladly undertake to remedy this state of afli\irs, if the City Council will place at their disposal sufficient funds for the purpose. They recommend also that some different quarters be assigned to the East Boston Branch, which is at present situated in the same building with the police court and police station. Children and others using this library should not be forced to come into contact with the class of people who are neces- sarily found in such buildings. There is also need at East Boston and CharlestoAvn of increased facilities by means of delivery stations similar to those in the Dorchester and West Roxbury districts, which so fully meet an active public demand. Both these extensions have only been delayed for lack of means to 'pay for them. The North End Branch is also suffering from its objectionable situation.
There is no quarter of the city that stands more in need of a suitable reading-room and branch library than the West End. Personal search has been made by the Trustees for a place for the establishment of a branch library in this quarter of the city. The only suitable building that they have been able to find is the old West Church, at the corner of Lynde and Cambridge streets.
The Trustees are glad to see that the citizens, not only of this quarter, but of all the city, are taking great interest in this subject, and have already brought it to the attention of the City Council. The Ti'ustees are heartily in accord with this movement, and they earnestly recommend that the city acquire this property, since they believe no better or more useful investment of city funds could be made.
The Trustees are veiy glad to report that there has been a continued increase in the use of the Library, the details of which appear in the appendixes. Special attention is called to the remarkable fact that out of the very nearly 2,000,000 books used by borrowers, only 1 in 31,000 has not been recovered.
The continued interest of the general public is shown by the extent and value of gifts, amounting in all to 12,663 vol- umes, given by 1,254 individuals.
Mrs. R. Anne Nichols, of Roxbury, has added to the Thayer Library, given b}^ herself and her sisters, 1,435 volumes of rare and costly books, including many prints. Mrs. Benjamin S. Shaw, has given 585 volumes; Mr. Brander Matthews, of New York, 482 volumes ; Mr. Frank- lin L. Pope, 752 volumes.
Not enumerated in this list is the President John Adams
4 City Document No. 21.
Library, which has been ti'ansfcrrcd to the Trustees by the Supervisors of the Adams Temple and School Fund ot Quincy.
Another notable gift is that of the Hon. Mellen Chamberlain, of Chelsea, who has given to the Library his very valuable collection of autographs and historical manuscripts. This collection is undoubtedly one of the most valuable of its kind in this country. A special room has been assigned for it in the new building, to which it shortly will be moved.
In July, Mr. William C. Todd, of Atkinson, N.H., announced his intention of giving two thousand dollars a year during his life to the City of Boston, "all of this sum to be expended in newspapers," with a further provision that, upon his death, the City of Boston should receive the sum of $50,000, the annual income of which is to be applied to the same purpose. Mr. Todd has notified the Trustees that the first instalment of two thousand dollars is at their disposal, but, owing to the cramped quarters at present occupied, it will be impossible for them to avail them- selves of this sum until the new building is ready for occupancy.
The correspondence relating to these gifts is appended. The Trustees strongly recommend that official action be taken by the city government, in recognition of these three most important benefactions.
During the past year, the number of individual persons actually borrowing books for home use amounted to 35,000. The Trustees believe that this is the largest number of per- sons who have used the Library for this purpose in any one year ; but owing to the imperfect system of records hereto- fore used, no entirely satisfactory comparison can be made.
The New Building. There has been no interruption of work upon the new Public Library building during the year. It has proceeded satisfactorily, and is now in such advanced condition that the building will be ready for occupancy during the year 1894. The Trustees hope that they will be able later to propose some day in the coming autumn for the dedication of the building.

Correspondence Kelating to Recent Gifts.
Chelsea, February 14, 1893. To the Trustees of the Boston Public Library :
Gentlemen : I propose to leave to the Boston Public Library, by testamentary bequest, my collection of historical documents, manuscripts, autographs, portraits, and engrav- ings connected therewith, together with a few printed volumes, and some matters of personal interest to me, pro- vided the Trustees, after a more mature consideration of the subject, are still willing to accept the same agreeably to an informal understanding expressed at their meeting, January 17, 189o. That is to say, that the Trustees will furnish the room in the new building, connected with the librarian's room, substantially in accord with the plan prepared by Alex. S. Jennets and set said room apart as the permanent home of said collection, to be and forever remain in the sole custody of the librarian, under the Trustees.
From the above conditions are to be excepted the framed Address to the King, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution of the United States, which would be properly exhibited on the walls of some more public room.
While I desire to retain the property of the collection during my life, it is my wish, nevertheless, to transfer to the Library at once such portions of it as are in completed form, and the remainder as soon as it can be completed.
The collection will need an index and binding ; and as I am familiar with the requirements, I think it would be well to have one or more volumes of each division bound as soon as may be, to serve as examples for the remaining volumes.
It is my purpose to make the collection as complete as I may ; and to that end, after any portion of it is transferred to the Library I shall desire free access to it at suita])le times.
Respectfully,
(Signed) Mellen Chamberlain.
Public Library of the City of Boston. To the Hon. Mellen Chaimberlain :
Dear Sir : It is my pleasant duty to inform you that I am instructed by the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston, that they accept with gratitude your proposed testamentary gift of your unique and valuable " collection of
6 City Document No. 21.
historical documents, autographs, portraits, and engravings connected therewith, together with certain printed vohimes," etc., and that they agree to perform all the conditions set forth in your letter of Fel)ruary 14, 181)3, to which the gift is made subject.
Permit me to improve the opportunity to express my own appreciation of the great value of your proposed donation, and assure you that all the conditions referred to will be faithfully performed. The Trustees have already commenced the work of preparing a suitable room in the new Library building for the accommodation of the collection, as you are pleased to allow them present possession of the same.
Very truly yours, (Signed) Frederick O. Prince,

Boston, Mass., June 16, 1893. To the Trustees of the Boston Public Library :
Boston is a city of rare privileges, but it lacks one now possessed by many others, viz., a place where all — citizens and strangers — can enter freely, and read the leading news- papers of the day ; some such place as the Cooper Institute of New York affords. The Boston Public Library is well supplied w^ith magazines, but not with newspapers. It is too late to discuss the value of newspapers — they have become a necessity. The business man, the student in every depart- ment, the politician anxious to feel the public pulse, the men who, like the Athenians of old, " spent their time either to tell or hear some new thing," — all, of every pursuit and con- dition, must read the newspapers to learn what has transpired the world over. The press has become the great agency by which information is diffused, leading questions discussed, the people educated, and public opinion moulded. Words spoken to a hundred people in the evening are, the next morning, read by a hundred thousand. Newspapers now form a large part of the reading of the whole community. I have heard business men say that they read the newspapers daily, occasionally a magazine, hardly a book in a year. It is not enough to read one paper, and that partisan, if any one would be correctly informed and judge clearly ; yet many newspapers are too ex[)ensive for ordinary readers, and a large part are desired only for occasional use. All this is well understood, and need not have been repeated.
Library Department. 7
Free reading-rooms, I have no doul)t, in the not distant future, will be even more in demand by the general public than free public libraries.
As the new Public Library building is about to be opened, I trust this great want of Boston will be supplied. If the Trustees will furnish a suitable room, and provide for all in- cidental expenses, I will pay two thousand dollars ($2,000) annually ; all of this sum to be expended in newspapers, and, sooner or later, will give a fund of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) to secure forever this annual payment. Such pay- ments are to be appropriated to furnishing newspapers for a reading-room in the new central Public Library building- only. The aim shall be to select representative papers, giving the current thought of different sections of our own countrjs and, to such an extent as the Trustees may deter- mine, of foreign countries, so as to provide a reading-room that shall satisfy the wants of citizens, and also of the many strangers always to be found in Boston. No distinc- tion shall be made in the selection of newspapers in favor of any religious sect or political party.
I may add that my only interest in this matter is the wish to do some good to a great many people.
Trusting that this proposition may be favoral)ly received ,>
I am, very respectfully yours, (Signed) William C. Todd.
June 20, 1893. William C. Todd, Esq. :
Dear Sir ; The Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston have the honor to acknowledge your com- munication of the 16th instant.
They gratefully accept your very generous offer to pro- vide the means for establishing a newspaper department in the new Public Library, where not only our citizens, but all visiting strangers, may learn what is said and done, not only in the different States of the Union, but in foreign countries.
They indorse all you say touching the value of news- papers. They think with you that the power and influence of the press are beyond estimate. As it directs public atten- tion to all those great questions of politics, of religion, of literature, of science, and of art, and does so much to guide public opinion therein, it becomes one of the chief factors in the advancement of civilization and the maintenance of those conservative forces which are the safeguard of our free in- stitutions. But, as you truly say, it is "too late to discuss
S City Document No. 21.
the value of newspapers." It is recognized wherever there is constitutional liovernnieiit, and wherever the i)eoplc have voice in the direction of public afiairs.
The want of such facilities as your generosity will pro- vide has been long felt, but until other and more i)ressing needs were supplied, the Trustees have been unwilling to ask from the city government, which has been so liberal in its appropriations to this Library for the peoi)lc, the means to satisfy the deficiency.
The Free Public Library — "open to all" — was not es- tablished for the sole use of students and scholars, but for the enjoyment of the people of all classes and professions, especially the " plain people," to quote the language of our martyred President. These latter will greatly appreciate jour benefaction.
It is pleasant to know that the gift comes from a citizen of another State, avIio appreciates Boston and the " rare priv- ileges" which an enlightened public spirit has provided for all her people.
The conditions of your endowment increase its value, for they not only show your munificence, but also the broad and catholic spirit which prompted it.
Be assured that your name will always be dear to those who enjoy the fruits of your bounty, and that you will be associated with the many beneftictors of our Free Public Library — with Bates and Ticknor and Everett and Bow- ditch and Scholfield, and the many others who are gratefully remembered by all interested in popular education.
Be assured also that the present Board of Trustees, and, without doubt, their successors in office, will always respect the terms of your gift and faithfully execute the trusts re- posed in them.
Very truly j^ours, (Signed) Fredeiuck O. Prince,
President pro (em.
Public Library of the City of Boston,
November 3, 1893. To the Supervisors of the Adams Temple and School Fund : Dear Sirs: The attention of the Trustees of the Public Library of the Q\ty of Boston has been directed lately to the very valuable President John Adams Library, which is now in the Crane Memorial Building at Quincy. They are so impressed with the great interest and historical value of the
Library Department. 9
collection that they feel it Avill not be out of place to ask you if it is not possible to place it in some position where it would be more accessible to the students to whom it would be useful.
In consideration of the great change that has taken place in the country since the Library was placed in your charge by President Adams, it may l)e possible to carry out Pres- ident Adams's intent better by placing the collection in some more accessible place.
As the new Public Library building in Boston is nearing completion, it has occurred to the Trustees that the most ap- propriate and useful place for the collection would be in that building, where it would be of great use to a great number of students who resort to the Boston Public Library from all parts of the country, and where its value would be increased by the convenience of using it in connection with the large collection on kindred subjects already collected, and where it might also serve as a nucleus for one of the most important constitutional libraries in the United States.
If this suggestion meets with your approval, the Trustees wall put the collection in a separate alcove with a suitable in- scrii)tion over it, and will take all proper measures for caring for and protecting it. I need hardly assure you that they would esteem it a great privilege if they were permitted to become custodians of a collection so very valuable both in- trinsically and because of its associations.
I have the honor to be, with great respect.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Samuel A. B. Abbott,
President.
Adams Building, 23 Court Street,
Boston, November 29, 1893.
My dear Sir : Referring to your communication ad- dressed to the Supervisors of the Adams Temple and School Fund, under date of November 3, I now have the pleasure of forwarding to you the following extract from the Records of the Supervisors :
" Communications received from Charles Francis Adams and Samuel A. B. Abbott, President of the Trustees of the Boston Public Library, relating to the John Adams Lil)rary, which is now in the Crane Memorial Hall at Quincy.
" Voted, That the said communications be spread on the records .
10 City Document No. 21.
" After due (ionsideration of the request of the President of the Trustees of the Boston Pubh'c Library, it was the opinion of the Supervisors that the intent of President Adams would be better carried out by placing the Library where it would be more accessible to students and investigators ; and it wa& thereupon
" Voted, That there being at present no settled ministers of the Congregational Society or of the P^piscopal Society of Quincy, the Supervisors assent to the request of the Trustees of the Boston Public Library, and that the care and custody of the Library belonging to the city of Quincy, deposited by the Supervisors of the Adams Temple and School Fund with the concurrence of the then settled ministers of the two societies above mentioned, in the Crane Memorial Hall, under vote of the Supervisors of May 12, 1882, be trans- ferred to the Boston Public Library ; and that the Trus- tees of the Thomas Crane Public Library be requested to deliver the same to the Trustees of the Boston Public Library."
The above extract from the Record was communicated to me, as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Thomas Crane Public Library of the City of Quincy, in whose hands, as depositaries, the library of President John Adams now is.
That Board has no power of control over the collection. It is merely placed at their request in the Crane Memorial Hall, subject to any disposition which the Supervisors may make of it.
I have, therefore, now to inform you that the Trustees of the Thomas Crane Public Library hold the John Adams collection subject to the order of the Board of Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston. We will deliver the library to your agents at any time it may suit your convenience to receive it, taking your written receipt therefor.
I have the honor to be, etc.,

Public Library of the City of Boston,
December 6, 1893.
My dear Sir : I have received and laid before the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston your letter of November 29, in regard to the President John Adams Library. I am instructed by the Trustees to inform you that they will accept the transfer of the John Adams Library in accordance with the terms of the vote of the Supervisors of the Adams Temple and School Fund, and will place it in an alcove in the new building as soon as it is completed.
I will notify you as soon as possible when the Library will be sent for.
I enclose herewith a copy of the vote of the Trustees.
I have the honor to be very truly yours,
(Signed) Samuel A. B. Abbott,
President. To Charles Francis Adams, Esq.,
Chairman of Trustees, Thomas Crane Public Library .
Adams Building, 23 Court Street, Boston, December 9, 1893.
My dear Sir : I have to acknowledge the receipt of your ftivor of the 6th instant, with enclosure in relation to the John Adams Library.
I see that under vote of the Trustees, the library in ques- tion is to be deposited "in a suitable alcove in the new Public Library building in Copley square."
Under these circunistanccs, I presume the Trustees of the Public Library will not be ready to make the transfer in question before next autumn, as I understand the new Library building will not be ready to receive books until that time.
As the library in question is now perfectly safe and w^ell cared for in the Thomas Crane Memorial Hall, I would sug- gest that it be allowed to remain there until the Trustees of the city Library are ready to transfer it to its place of final deposit. It would seem to be. a mere unnecessary waste of time, labor, and money to have it transferred twice.
12 City Document No. 21.
If this suggostion meets the views of the Trustees, there would seem nothing more to be done in the matter at present.
I remain, etc., (Signed) Charles F. Adams.
S. A. B. Abbott, Esq.,
5 Pemberton Square, Boston.
The following is a l)rief sketch of the Adams Library and its points of interest as existing at the time of the com- pletion of its card catalogue in 1884.
In 1822, John Adams, then in his eighty-seventh year, presented the town of Quincy with (to use the wording of the deed) " the fragments of ray Library, which still remain in my possession, excepting a few that I shall reserve for my consolation in the few days that remain to me." Upon this bequest he imposed several conditions, the first of which was that a catalogue of the books be made and printed. This catalogue was made, and may be seen in a pamphlet of sixty-seven pages, entitled "Deeds and other documents relating to the several pieces of land, and to the library pre- sented to the town of Quincy, by President Adams, together with a catalogue of the books," copies of which are in this library.
As a means of reference, the above-mentioned printed catalogue is wholly useless, the titles being arranged neither alphabetically nor by subjects, but simply according to the languages in which the l)ooks are printed, and to some extent according to the sizes of volumes. It appears from it, how- ever, that the actual number of books at the time of donation was 2,756.
Another condition of deed was that " none of the books shall ever be sold, exchanged or lent, or sutlered to be re- moved from the apartment, without a solemn vote of a major- ity of the superintendents." Unfortunately this condition has not been complied with, for a comparison of the old printed catalogue with the present card catalogue shows that some of the volumes are missing. One loss, in particular, is a severe one, that of Thomas Morton's New English Canaan. This rare volume has l)een replaced by the edition edited by Charles Francis Adams, for the Prince Society, wherein will be found a mention of this theft — as it doubtless was.
Library Department. 13
Besides books lost or stolen, many have been badly muti- lated, in part by hard usage from frequent removals, in part by book rot, but mostly at the hands of autograph col- lectors, who, in many cases, have not hesitated to cut or tear the top or even the middle of title-pages.
It was the wish of John Adams that this library should be placed in "an apartment of the building to be hereafter erected for a Greek and Latin School or Academy," which academy was provided for in another deed. After a number of transfers from one place to another, this library, in its present proportions, was placed in the Thomas Crane Public Library in 1882. In 1883, sixty-one years after the dona- tion to the town of Quincy, an orderly arrangement and suitable catalogue of the library was begun, by the direction and at the expense of Charles Francis Adams. This work was begun in February, 1883, and carried on at intervals until its completion in October, 1884.
Arrangemex\t.
The books are placed in four alcoves, numbered A, B, C, D. These alcoves contain, respectively, eight, seven, seven, and eight ranges, and the ranges contain shelves varying in the ranges according to the slope of roof. The numbering of the shelves of each range is from top to bottom, and of the books on shelves, from left to right. For instance, the top shelf of first range of Alcove A is numbered A. 10, the first book or set of books (if more than one vol.) A. 10.1, the second, A. 10. 2, the next shelf is A. 11, etc. So far as pos- sible, a proper classification has been adhered to, but lack of space in the quarters at Quincy made it necessary to prefer, in certain cases, an arrangement by uniform sizes, for the sake of appearance, to a strict classification.
Generally speaking. Alcove A will be found to contain the classics, Italian works, grammars and dictionaries of various languages, and a part of the French works. Alcove B contains French and Dutch works, and a part of the English Avorks, also several folios belonging elsewhere, but put here for con- venience.
Alcove C contains English and American works (history, geography, etc., of America), also works of travel and voyages to various countries, works on the arts and sciences (astron- omy, physics, mathematics, medicine, political economy, etc. ) . The last range of C and first part of first range of D comprise theological and ethical works. Alcove D contains law books and works on political science ; the last range is occupied by United States government publications and several incomplete mag-azines.
14 CiTV Document No. 21.
The number of voliiincs :\t the time of (h)n!ition was, as stated, 2,75G ; at the completion of the catalogue in 1884 it was 2,804.* There have been added, it should l)e remem- bered, a number of books not in the oriirinal collection. Some are gifts from other sources, and some few from the libraries of the late John Quincy Adams and of the late Charles Francis Adams.
Catalogue.
The catalogue contains about 3,800 cards, its arrangement is alphabetical, and in accordance with the system usually pursued by the Boston Public Lil)rary, somewhat simplified. The main title is given under the author's (or authors') name, when known, with a reference, when necessary, to the proper subject or subjects, and occasionally with a reference under the title. The cross-references are written upon the backs of the main cards. References are made from pseudonyms or anonymous w^orks to the author, when known, and kindred subjects are connected by various inter-references. Where an author is unknown, the work is catalogued under the title.
Interesting Features of the Library.
Though many books have been robbed of autographs and otherwise damaged, yet a number remain which contain auto- graphs of interest, or which give a special value to this col- lection from the fact that they contain manuscript annotations in the handwriting of John Adams. It ap[)ears that many books were presented to him while abroad, either in France or at The Hague, and some of these contain comments writ- ten by him at that time or later in life. For the most part these comments have never been printed.
Below will be found an alphabetically arranged list of names of persons whose autographs or manuscript annotations have been noted. The shelf numbers of books in which such autographs occur are placed opposite the names to the right.

Three books once seem to have belonged to Rev. Thomas Prince ; and two of them contain the book-plate of the Old South Library (now deposited in the Boston Public Library). One of these books is a pamphlet vol. (C.21.11) containing Winslow's Good News from New England, 1624 ; another is L. Robert's Merchants Map of Commerce (C.51.4) ; the third is Oldmixon's British Empire in America (C.ll.lO).
There are several specimens of the Elzevir and Aldus press.
Perhaps the most valuable work in the library is Henri Estienne's edition of Plato, Paris, 1578, in three folios, finely bound and well preserved (A. 41. 4).
This catalogue was prepared by Lindsay Swift, of the Boston Public Library, assisted, for a time, by Edward B. Hunt, of the same Library.

REPORT OF THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE FOR 1893.
To the Trustees of the Boston Public Library :
Gentlemen : An account of the many good points of the Library would cause not only reasonable satistaction, but honest })ride, that the city has, through the munificence of its citizens and friends, an institution which deserves lo rank so high among all its kind. If the Examining Commit- tee seem to emphasize what may be improved, rather than what is already perfect, it is because they wish that the Library may be evenly developed throughout on its })resent lines of excellence.
That the administration of the Library during the past year has been, on the whole, up to the standard which it has always maintained, goes without saying. That it may have been in some details a little below what the Trustees would have wished, also goes without saying. With the over- crowded shelves, and with the eager and restless eyes of Trustees and employees all turned towards the new building, in the hope that the date of removal may soon be fixed, — it is quite possible and natural that there may have been, in some respects, a loosening of discipline, and a less satisfac- tory service than under other circumstances. And yet your Committee are gratified to be able to report that, all things considered, the public have been well served by a zealous and attentive body of employees, and to all great credit is due for the condition in which the Library is to-day.
The Committee, however, feel that each year only increases the responsibility of the Trustees and largely adds to their labors. The greater work soon to be entered upon in Copley square, together with that almost equally important work, also increasing greatly from year to year, the efficient carry- ing on of the branch libraries, will soon require a different system of management, or a new and enlarged application of the present system.
In these new and enlarged conditions there are two matters of deepest concern, the i)roper subdivision of duties and the fixing of responsibility. Surely a library with many heads is as bad as a headless library, and both are attended by demoralization. Without meaning to criticise what has
Library Department. 19
taken place in the past, under a system which has grown gradually as the need appeared, your Committee feel that now is the time to make sure that the present system is the best one, and should it be deemed otherwise, to make such changes as may seem proper. With methods fully elal)o- rated and based upon sound principles of business manage- ment, the work in the larger building can be begun and continued with little or no friction, and with the greatest possible efficiency and economy.
Experience would seem to show that in such a library as ours, very nmch depends upon the librarian, and yet quite as much upon the wise definition of his duties and authority. Two qualities are called for in a librarian such as Boston needs, — a complete knowledge of books and all that pertains to them, and a very large executive ability, sufficient to con- trol not only the work of the Central Library, but to see that those most important feeders of our library system, the branches and the delivery stations, not only are not neglected, but are encouraged in every possible way in which they may tend to cultivate a taste for reading among our citizens.
Few men unite in themselves these two qualifications, and yet such men have been found for other libraries, and no doubt the Trustees will, by careful search, be able to find such a man for Boston, one who will bring with him a judg- ment ripened by experience, tactful, and broad-minded.
It is certainly for their own interest to find him. As the magnitude and responsibility of the library system increases from year to year, it is not to be supposed that in the future busy citizens will accept the office of trustee, which under any conditions is one of great responsibility, unless the librarian is one fully equipped to undertake the entire charge of the work. And yet such a board of trustees should be composed of men who, by their success as men of affairs, have shown themselves worthy of the trust. Such men only make good executive officers, but neither they as a body, nor their chairman as their representative, should be called upon, as they have been in the past, to give time to all the details necessary in the management of a library such as ours. They should have the best service under them possi- ble, and the detail of management should be so organized by them as to relieve them from anything more than very general supervision. They should outline the policy, and the librarian should have the ability to pursue it.
In any examination of the Library it is well to consider its whole purpose and its reasons for existence. Shall it be a means of amusement, or shall it be, as was designed, an advanced part of the general education ? Just here comes
20 City Document No. 21.
(lis!iiiro(MiUMit in teclinu" and oi)ini()n ; just hero the Trustees should liave support in efJorts to raise or to maintain its character. Fortunately we have, in the first annutd report of the Trustees, wisely reprinted in the Bulletin of last July, a clear statement of what should be in this Library. " I. Books that cannot be taken out of the Library, such as Cycloptwdias, Dictionaries, important public documents, and books that from their rarity or costliness cannot easily be replaced. ... II. Books that few i^ermns will wUh to read, and of which, therefore, only one copy will be kept.
. III. Books that will be often asked for, of which copies should be provided in such numbers that many persons . . . can be reading the same work at the same moment, . . . when it is living, fresh, and new. . . . IV. Periodical Publications."
How far these ideas of the first Trustees have been carried out can be seen somewhat by looking over the weekly lists of new l)ooks. A large field is covered by the Library in its late accessions. In twelve lists selected at random, and containing about 2,200 titles, about 950 books are in foreign languages, German and French being the most common. The others represented are Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swed- ish, Norwegian, Russian, Sanscrit, Arabic, Greek, Welsh, Volapuk, etc. AI)out one-quarter of the English books are starred, and therefore not intended for circulation, and many of those not so marked are of little common interest, being reports or memorials, or treatises on technical subjects. The small remainder, probably not more than a himdred, of works of a general literary character, is almost hidden among the many strange and curious titles. It should be under- stood, in criticising these lists, that they include no pam- phlets except those of special importance, and that there is no indication of books bought by request or given to the Library. It is hoped that these latter may be marked, in the future, by stars or daggers. Still your committee would suggest that more discrimination be exercised in the choice of popular books. There are now none too many, but the}' might be better chosen. Perhaps it would be well to appoint a reading committee for this class of literature.
Interesting as these lists are to the bibliophile or to one who cares for library detail, they are too full and published too often to be useful for reference or general information, and in no way take the place of the quarterly classified lists which they have superseded. Your Committee would urge strongly that the publication of these lists be resumed. If this is inexpedient, it is hoped that a selected list of new books, including only works of general interest, may be
Library Department. 21
published quarterly, and properly distributed in the popular departments.
The work of the catalogue department, which comes before the public, is seen chiefly in the quarterly Bulletins, in which have been published during the past year various special lists, which will be most useful to students, who, however, must of necessity form a small part of the public using the Library. These special bibliographies seem to have represented, of late years, the ideal method of cata- loguing; but, in a library of this size, the labor of preparing them is so great that only a few can be printed yearly, and therefore only a few persons can be beneflted by them. The general reader does not care for special subjects, but wants to know what there is interesting and new. This is the class of people for which new libraries are constantly being founded throughout the country, and which must not be overlooked, if it is still true, to quote again from the first annual report of the Trustees, that " it is of paramount im- portance that the means of general information should be so diffused that the Uirgest possible number of persons should be induced to read and understand questions which are constantly presenting themselves." The finding-lists of the branches meet this demand somewhat, but they would be far more useful if they were published regularly three or four times a year, instead of, as now% at irregular intervals, varying from six to nineteen months.
Your Committee have noticed with pleasure the carefully prepared short lists posted in some of the branch reading- rooms, particularly at Charlestown and Dorchester, for the use of young or inexperienced readers. It is wished that such lists could be placed in all the popular reading- rooms, for they must save much wear and tear of the card catalogue, and help to give an increased circulation of good books. Some stimulus to a fuller use of the branch libraries is surely needed, as during the past year there has been little, if any, gain in circulation, and previous years have shown a positive loss.
It is, however, pleasant to note a decided improvement in the circulation of the central departments. Ever}^ year shows an increased demand for books in Bates Hall, and nearly thirty per cent, more were given out in 1893 than in 1892. An almost incredible improvement is seen in Lower Hall, where sixty per cent, more books have been given out this year than last. This is.the more surprising as the gain w^as very slight in 1892, only seven per cent., and there was a loss of thirty-three percent, in 1891. As there has been
22 City Documknt No. 21.
no increase! in the service and a positive decrease in the registration, tliis growth is very remarkable.
Your Connnittec regret, with the Trustees, that, owing to the lack of funds, so few hooks have been bought during the past year. This economy has l)een felt chiefly in the branches, which have had but little more than half as many books as last year.* It is to be regretted that a larger appropriation could not be made for l)ooks, so that it need not always be necessary to exercise economy where the public most feel it, in the [)urchase of new books or duplicates. Is it not best to consider the greatest good of the greatest number, and sacrifice abstruse and curious books rather than the best works of fiction, travel, and American history, so much needed in the outlying libraries?
Your Committee have found most of the branch libraries in excellent condition. They wish to call attention, how- ever, to the objectionable location of the Dorchester and East Boston Libraries, which are both located over police courts or stations. The limited floor-space at Dorchester is alone a sufficient reason for removing that library. The location of the North End reading-room is in many respects unsuit- able. The stairway is very bad, the floor-room is insufficient, and a public hall overhead is often occupied by noisy people. Your Committee therefore recommend the removal of this reading-room from the North to the West End, where a branch is needed, and where both sections could be accom- modated. They understand that the West Church, on Cambridge street, can be purchased, and believe it to be an excellent location for a l)ranch library.
Your Committee recommend that fireproof shutters be placed on all the rear windows of the Charlestown Library, and that the walls and ceilings be repainted.
It is suggested that, on the completion of the new Library building in Copley square, the South End Branch be moved farther south, to a point about midway l)etween the Central and Roxbury Libraries.
Your Committee have examined into the method of auditing in force at the Library, and cannot suggest any point which in their minds requires change. They would call attention to the fact that the entire work is done by one employee, who for many years, without increase of salary, has ftiithfully performed duties which, owing in part to the construction of the new building, have constantly increased.
The Committee feel that, in view of the rapid growth of

the city and the increasing use and importance of the Library, the annual appropriation should be considerably increased. The apparent increase of the past seven years has been more than absorbed by increased administrative expenses.
Your Committee cannot fail to note their own and the public appreciation of the gift of a generous citizen of another State, by which provision is made for a free reading-room, to be furnished with the leading newspapers of the world. For this purpose Mr. W. C. To'dd, of Atkinson, N.H., has promised $2,000 annually during his life, and at his death the noble sum of $50,000. Such an example of public spirit may well be commended to our own fellow-citizens.
In conclusion, we heartily congratuhite the Trustees upon the approaching completion of the beautiful Library buikl- ing in Copley square. This structure has won the highest praise from the most competent critics. Where so much detail was required, and the needs were so great and so expensive, it is not strange that everybody's idea was not reached. It is enough that the Trustees have secured a building well fitted to its special purpose, beautiful in design and finish, and entirely worthy of our beloved city.

APPENDIX XII.
TRUSTEES FOR FORTY-TWO YEARS.
The Honorable Edward Everett was President of the Board from 1852 to 18(i4 ; the late George Ticknor in 1865 ; William W. Greenough, Esq., from 1866 to April, 1888; from May 7, 1888, to May 12, 1888, Prof. Henry W. Haynes ; Samuel A. B. Ab- bott, Esq., since the last date.
The Board for 1852 was a preliminary organization; that for 1853 made what is called the first annual report. It consisted of one alderman and one common councilman, and five citizens at large, till 1867, when a revised ordinance made it to consist of one alderman, two common councilmen, and six citizens at large, two of whom retired, unless reelected, each year, while the members from the City Council were elected yearly. In 1878 the organi- zation of the Board was changed to include one alderman, one councilman, and five citizens at large, as before 1867 ; and in 1885, by the provisions of the amended city charter, the repre- sentation of the city government upon the Board, by an alderman and a councilman, was abolished, leaving the Board as at present, consisting of five citizens at large.
