PART I

npHE HISTORY of The New York Public Library is an instance of a
■^ typical phenomenon in American institutions, social, economic, or politi-
cal; first, many isolated, independent efforts towards a common end — the
public weal; then the union of a few of these independent — and wasteful,
efforts; the resultant body gradually attracting and consolidating those remain-
ing outside the fold; the outcome justifying itself by a strong, resourceful,
elastic whole.

The names of John Jacob Astor, James Lenox, Samuel Jones Tilden —
only one a native son of the city of New York — are linked in the name of

the library; joined with them in the memory of all that know are the names
and deeds of many others whose work at all stages helped mightily to quicken
and cherish the growing body.

These annals are an attempt to gather the life-giving memories of these
unselfish workers, an essay towards a tribute of respect to their efforts and their
ideals. ■ They narrate the growth of the Astor Library, the Lenox Library,
the Tilden Trust, the New York Free Circulating Library, and other circulat-
ing libraries. Of them alt, and of other elements, is composed The New York
Public Library, and it, in its earliest form, was made possible by, and came
into being because of, the devotion at once unselfish, faithful, farsighted, of
the Trustees of the Astor Library, the Lenox Library, and the Tilden Trust.

First of these efforts in point of time was the Astor Library, in inception
and formation the work of John Jacob Astor and Joseph Green Cogswell — a
New York merchant and a New England school teacher.

Of the life of Astor before the foundation of the library there is no need
to speak here; his early struggles, his wonderful success, the impress of the
man on the city and nation are known to all. Less famihar sides of his nature
are revealed as the project of the library unfolds itself.

Of the life of Cogswell before he devoted himself to the library the fol-
lowing brief summary must suffice. Born in Ipswich, Massachusetts, Sep-
tember 27, 1786. he graduated from Harvard in the class of 1806. After a
voyage to India as super-cargo, the study and practice of law in Belfast, Maine,
and a married life of little more than a year, he found himself a tutor at
Harvard in 1813-1815. The years 1816-1820 he spent in Europe, studying
at Gottingen with George Ticknor, and travelling with Edward Everett. Re-
turning to this country he taught geology and mineralogy at Harvard and
served as assistant librarian during 1820-1823. In the latter year, with young
George Bancroft, he founded the famous Round Hill school at Northampton.
Massachusetts. Bancroft withdrew in 1830 and Cogswell carried it on alone
for four years more. The work, however, was too much for one man and in
1834 he closed its doors. The next two years were spent with great success
in charge of a school at Raleigh, North Carolina, until ill health forced him
away in 1836 to enter the family of Samuel Ward, the New York banker.
Mr. Ward was then living on fashionable Broadway at the corner of Bond
Street, and three of his sons had been pupils at Round Hill. Held by the
Wards as a member of the family rather than as an instructor, Cogswell saw
much of the best life of the city, and through them met John Jacob Astor,
who had given up active connection with business some ten years or so before.

Astor was characterized at this time by Washington Irving, who saw

much of him while working on Astoria, as a strong-minded man, restive in
retirement because of a lack of creative occupation. Born in 1763, he reached
his seventy-fifth birthday in 1837 and had undoubtedly given no little thought
as to the disposition of his property and to a fitting testimonial to be left to
his adopted country by its richest citizen,' Cogswell's part in shaping this
testimonial can best be told in his own words.

His first mention of Astor is in a letter to his friend C. S. Daveis of
Portland, Maine, on January 2, 1838;

"During my present visit to New York, I have seen a great deal of old
Mr. Astor, having dined with him twice at his own house, and three times
at his son's. He is not the mere accumulator of dollars, as I had supposed
him; he talks well on many subjects and shows a great interest in the arts
and literature. I meet Halleck there often, and some other pleasant visitors."
(Letters, page 213.)

On the 31st of the same month he wrote to Mrs. George Ticknor in Paris:
"Mr. Ward will not let me go away from New York, telling me every
day that I shall soon be wanted here, and that I must wait patiently ... I
have received one fee for professional services since my return, that keeps
me in pocket money, so I do not want for bonbons; old Mr. Astor gave me
a commission to execute for him in Boston, which cost me a week's time,
and gave me a week's pleasure, as time spent in Boston always is to me. On
my return he sent me a check for $500. This shows that he was satisfied with
my agency, and I trust he will find other services for me to perform. If I
understand his movements aright I shall be called upon to aid in one of no
small magnitude."

Six months later he wrote to George Ticknor on July 20:
"I must tell you a word of what I have been doing for some months past,
or you may think I have been wasting time. Early in January Mr. Astor
consulted me about an appropriation of some three or four hundred thousand
dollars, which he intended to leave for public purposes, and I urged him to
give it for a library, which I finally brought him to agree to do, and I have
been at work ever since, settling all the points which have arisen in the progress
of the affair. It is now so nearly arranged that he has promised me to sign
the last paper to-day, and if so I shall see you in Boston early next week. Had
I not foreseen that this object would never have been effected unless some-
one had been at the old gentleman's elbow, to push him on, I should have left
New York long since. It is not made public at present, but I think it will
be in a week or two. In the mean while say nothing about it."

558 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

Public announcement was made in New York by newspaper paragraphs
from Boston, the Evening Post of July 26, 1838, quoting:

"We are happy to learn, from correct information, that a wealthy and
liberal citizen of New York has given a princely sum for the establishment
of a public library in that city, which is likely to eclipse every other establish-
ment of the kind in the country. We shall doubtless soon be furnished with
the details, by the journals of that city."

Two days later it explained as follows:

"The Boston Daily Advertiser, in explanation of an article which we
copied from that paper a day or two since, says:

" 'Mr. John Jacob Astor, \vith an enlightened and liberal spirit, which
does him immortal honor, has made to the corporation of the city of New
York, a donation amounting to $350,000, for the establishment of a Public
Library, including a lot of land, most eligibly situated for the erection of a
building for the accommodation of the institution.' "

James Watson Webb's Morning Courier of the same date (July 28)
had also to rely on the Boston Daily Advertiser for its paragraph on the subject.
A possible explanation of this somewhat roundabout method of announcement
may be that Oagswell gave the news to the Hales of the Advertiser on his
visit to Ticknor, Astor possibly choosing the method for self protection.
If so it failed to save him from the inevitable flood of begging appeals, as
Cogswell's next letter shows:

"As soon as Mr. Astor heard of my being in New York he sent a mes-
senger into the city, to beg me to call upon him. I went out [to his country
house near Hell Gatej the next day and found him very cordial but very feeble.
I learnt that he had been beset by innumerable applications for money, in all
possible amounts, from five to five thousand dollars, since his great act of
munificence had been made known, and that act relied upon, as the ground
of hope, in all these claims. This his own penetrating mind had foreseen, and
it had induced him to change his intended donation to a legacy. The feeble
condition in which I found him disarmed me of all power to urge the matter
upon him at present, and therefore the most I can tell you is, that there is no
fear about the final result, and no great probability of any immediate steps
in effecting it.

"He is desirous of having me with him this winter, and offers a most
liberal pecuniary compensation for a portion of my time, leaving me four or
five hours daily at my own disposal. H I accede to his proposal it will be in
the hope of advancing the great project, and making my time most produc-
tive to those to whom it belongs." (October 8, 1838, to George Ticknor.)

"I did not accept Mr. Astor's offer because Mr. Ward showed so much
unwillingness to have me leave his home, and he has conferred upon me too

many favors, for me to find it in my heart to make him an ungrateful return."
(November IS, 1838.)

"I am to dine with Mr. Astor to-day, tete-a-tete, to talk over the affairs
of the library seriously. I went to him on Sunday [March 10, 1839], with
a catalogue' of some books to be sold here on Friday [the fifteenth], some
curious, rare, valuable, etc., and said 'These are not books to be found every
day, may I not attendthe sale, and buy such of them as go reasonably?' This
brought on a conversation about the library, when he asked me if he could
put the whole affair into the hands of trustees, and be freed from all care
and trouble about it, I told him he certainly could, upon which he said, 'Come
and dine with me on Tuesday, and I will try to come to a definite conclusion
about the matter.' I think he is resolved to go on with it this spring." (To
George Ticknor, March 12, 1839.)

"I dined with him on the said day [Tuesday, March 12, 1839], and laid
my proposal before him, to which he assented, without objection or condition,
except that I should agree to take care of the books, and this, of course, I
agreed to do. The books went high [at the sale of March 15], and those I
most wanted were not in the best condition, so I bought only a few hundred
dollars worth. Since then I have advised him to allow myself, or some one
else, to buy books at any time when they could be had, on good terms, if
suitable to the library to be formed by him, and I have now carte blanche for
so doing. I have also told him that it was important that a perfect system
should be drawn out for the completion of the whole affair, not merely with
reference to the library building, and other accommodations, but also to mark,
as distinctly as possible, the character of the library to be formed, and the
particular departments which he would wish to have most thorough, and
even going so far as to make a catalogue of that portion which must necessarily
belong to it. To all this he gave full assent, and requested me to employ
my leisure time, if any such I could find, upon the work. Touching the
building he is waiting only for the new corporation to enter upon their duties
[Isaac L. Varian elected mayor in April]... at any rate he has authorized
me to obtain an estimate of the costs of such a building as I have proposed
to him." (To Ticknor, May 6, 1839.)

Astor's plan, in May 1839, evidently was a gift outright and forthwith;
within the next three months he changed his mind and, by a third codicil to
his will on August 22, set aside four hundred thousand dollars as a bequest
for the establishment of a public library "to be accessible at all reasonable
hours and times, for general use, free of expense to persons resorting thereto,
subject only to such control and regulations, as the Trustees may from time
to time exercise and establish for general convenience"; specifying the loca-
tion as the corner of Lafayette Place and Art Street (now Astor Place),

fixing the sum to be expended for books at one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars and naming as trustees Washington Irving, William B. Astor, Daniel
Lord, jr., James G. King, Joseph G. Cogswell, Fitz-Greene Halleck, Henry
Brevoort, jr., Samuel B. Ruggles, Samuel Ward, jr., and the Mayor of the
city of New York and the Chancellor of the State, ex officio. The fifth codicil,
March 3, 1841, changed the location of the library site from the corner of
Lafayette Place and Astor Place to a plot of sixty-five feet front and one
hundred and twenty-five feet depth on the south side of Astor Place, or, if
the Trustees chose, to a plot on the east side of Lafayette Place, sixty-five
feet front and one hundred and twenty feet deep. This codicil further fixed
the amount to be spent for the building at seventy-five thousand dollars, while
the sixth codicil, of December 15, 1842, added the name of Charles [Astorj
Bristed to the list of Trustees.

On September 5, 1839 Cogswell wrote to Ticknor:

"Mr. W. B. Astor came in yesterday to ask me if I could leave home for
four months, to see his son well placed abroad. My answer was 'if your
father will give me a commission to buy books enough to make a fair begin-
ning for the library, and at the same time authorize me to procure a plan
abroad, and look into the subject generally, I will go.' Accordingly I have
been to Hell Gate this morning to see the old gentleman, who answered that
he was ready, and desirous of going on, having completed his new codicil,
by which he has increased the appropriation to $400,0(X). As yet, however,
I have no commission from him."

"I do not want to go to Europe a bit, and nothing would have induced
me to undertake the expedition but the hope of making it operate to bring
the old gentleman to a decision about the library, and so far I am satisfied. . .
as he has assured me that he should put $60,000 at my disposal, if I saw fit
to use that amount in purchasing one or two libraries now known to be for
sale abroad. As yet I have not got the papers in hand signed, but he read
me a letter yesterday, directed to myself, in which this is clearly stated." (To
C. S. Daveis, October 8, 1839.)

He spent the winter of 1839-1840 in Europe, reporting on his return
that he had had an agreeable trip but had not succeeded in one of the objects
of his trip: securing the Boutouriin collection which had been in the market
since about 1831. It was held at fifteen thousand pounds sterling, and was
brought to the hammer about the time he reached Paris. He could find no one
with authority to stop the sale. However, "it matters not," he wrote to Daveis,
"for we can doubtless obtain those parts of it most valuable to us, in this
country, in another way." (Letters, page 223.) Charles Sumner wrote to
G. W. Greene, United States consul at Rome: "Cogswell has come abroad

again... to purchase the Boutourhn hbrary, Mr. Astor is about founding
a public library in New York, and this library was to be the basis of it, but
unfortunately it is already under the hammer in Paris, selling piece-meal,
and Cc^swell has abandoned the purchase." (Pierce's Sumner, volume 2,
page 131. December 30, 1839.)

Not long after his return Cogswell wrote to Ticknor (May 27, 1840):

"I spent Monday night out at Hell Gate with Mr. Astor, and then laid
before him in writing my project for forming a catalogue of 100,000 volumes,
for a well digested, systematic library, accompanied with the prices of books
according to the trade rates, and also as marked in the lists of the antiquarian
dealers, setting forth, as clearly and distinctly as I was able, the utility and
necessity of such a catalogue. He expressed himself perfectly satisfied with
the reasons given in the document, and ready to commit the work to me. if
I would live in his family [Ward had died on November 27, 1839, during
Cogswell's absence in Europe], and let him have, as he was pleased to consider
it, the benefit of my society. I then proposed to reduce the matter to a distinct
question of business, and offered him five hours of my time daily, for $1,500
a year, with a convenient office in town, my regular business to be working
for the library in some way or other, particularly on the catalogue, and he
having the right to an occasional appropriation of an hour or two as he might
desire. I do not like this altogether, but I will submit to anything to get the
main business once nailed, and I know him well enough to say with confidence
that, once started, he will be as eager as one could wish, to press on. I left
my proposition with him in writing, and expect his answer from day to day.
I have done my duty in the matter, and shall have no occasion to reproach
myself, be the result what it may; and I am determined to await his move-
ments no longer than to give him a reasonable time to consider my proposi-
tion,"

Four months later he wrote to Ticknor (September 15):

"I was meditating a descent upon you in Boston early in July, and about
the same time Mr, Astor had a fresh fit of stirring in the Library. He got
Irving there, and sent for Brevoort and myself from day to day for a week;
at length the whole thing was arranged, as I supposed; the plan of the building
was agreed upon, and I left him on Saturday evening, July 11, in full con-
fidence that he would authorize his son William (who was present, and
earnestly urged his going on) to make contracts for the materials, etc., the
next Monday. On that day I started for Geneseo, where I remained about a
fortnight. On my return I found the whole form knocked into pi. Upjohn,
the architect, had been to see him, and put a notion of a Gothic building into
his head, and the moment an excuse was afforded him for hesitation, he
yielded to what has now become the weakness of his age, and shrunk from a
decision."

562 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

In November, 1840, Cogswell accepted Astor's proposal and took up
his residence with him at 585 Broadway, moving to the country house at Hell
Gate in the summer, sometimes living with William B. Astor next door to
the father, sometimes with a downtown office at 54 Gold street. With little
modification this arrangement continued until Astor's death, though for a
time the appointment of Washington Irving as American minister to Spain
and his wish to take Cogswell along as secretary of legation bade fair to
interrupt it. Cogswell wrote to Daveis on February 24, 1842;

"I have fully made up my mind to become a diplomatist if the opportunity
is offered. Mr. Astor is \ery much against it, being very reluctant to have
me leave him, but that I should have done at any rate, if he kept on as unde-
cided as ever about his library." (page 229.)

"Mr. Astor is greatly distressed at my leaving him, thinking that for a
public object as important as is that of the immediate execution of his library
plan I should have been justified in declining the appointment, as I gave no
previous pledge to accept. I told him I would give up the Secretaryship if
he would engage to begin at once upon the library, and that unless he did
so I should certainly accept it. All the reply I got to the proposition was
'say what consideration will induce you to stay with me, and leave the ques-
tion of the library to my future decision,' to which I had but one answer to
make, 'none whatever.' The matter, therefore^may be considered as settled.
and I have not a reproach to fear from my own conscience that I have aban-
doned the project too soon. Nothing short of a miracle will induce him to
undertake it during his life." (To Ticknor. March 10, 1842.)

The miracle seemed about to happen, for two weeks later (March 28 1
he wrote to Ticknor:

"Do not cry out upon me for fickleness, when you read that I am not
going to Spain. I have made the sacrifice of honors to honor. . . At the
last moment Mr. Astor agreed to ail that I asked of him: to go on immediately
with the library, to guarantee to me the librarianship with a salary of $2,500
a year, as soon as the building is 6nished. and. in the mean while $2,000 while
engaged upon the catalogue, or otherwise employed. . . Ir\'ing not only con-
sents, but fully approves." (page 231.)

"Immediately after the 1st of April I began with him about the building,
when he got together architects, masons, contractors, etc., and, just as all
seemed to be going on rightly, he got into one of his nervous fits. and. as yet.
I have not been able to bring him back to the work again. Whatever may
be the issue I shall have nothing to reproach myself with in relation to it. I
have made a sacrifice of my own pleasure, comfort, and standing in life, to
secure this object for the cause of good learning in our land, and in no case
will its blood be upon my head." (To Mrs. Ticknor, May 3. 1842.)

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 563

Thus matters stood for the next six years, Cogswell living with or near
Astor and working on plans for the library as opportunity oflfered,

Mr. Astor died on Tuesday. March 29, 1848. His will was admitted
to probate on April 3, and proved on the 9th following. The first meeting
of the Trustees was called by W. B. Astor on May 20, 1848 at his residence.
587 Broadway; at that time nine were present, Irving, W. B. Astor. Lord.
King. Cogswell, Halleck. Ruggles. Ward, and Bristed, William Frederick
Havemeyer, elected Mayor in the spring elections of this year, was not present,
nor was Reuben Hyde Walworth, Chancellor of the State, whose office had
been abolished by the new constitution of 1848. Henry Brevoort had died
May 17. 1848.

Of Ining and his position in American thought and letters it were need-
less to speak here. William Backhouse Astor was John Jacob's eldest son.
Daniel Lord, a native of the city, was one of the foremost civil lawyers of
his time. James Gore King, banker and public spirited citizen, is remembered
for his earnest advocacy of the Erie railroad, of which he served long as
president. Joseph Green Cogswell, Harvard graduate, scholar, bibliographer,
first superintendent of the library, was accurately described by George Ban-
croft as the one, above any other man in America, with the gifts, disposition,
and acquirements that singled him out "as the fittest person to superintend
the laying of the foundations of what should and must become the great
library of the western continent." The poet Halleck was at this time fifty-
nine years of age and had been in Astor's office since 1832; after the death
of the latter he retired to his birth place, Guilford, Connecticut, offering his
resignation to the board of trustees on May 29, 1849, and being succeeded by
Rev, Thomas House Taylor, native of Georgetown. South Carolina, and rector
of Grace Church from 1834 until his death in 1867. Henry Brevoort, jr.,
son-in-law of the founder, had died on May 17. 1848, and was succeeded by
Gen. John Adams Dix, elected December 30, 1848. Samuel Bulkley Ruggles
was a native of Guilford, Connecticut, in the highest' ranks of the lawyers
of his day, an earnest advocate of the Erie canal and other public move-
ments of like importance. Samuel Ward — Samuel Ward, jr., when named
as trustee in the third codicil in 1839 — son of Samuel Ward of Prime, Ward
& King, pupil of Cogswell and Bancroft at Round Hill, Columbia graduate,
son-in-law of William B. Astor, brother of Julia Ward Howe, uncle of F.
Marion Crawford, epicure, prince of lobbyists, was soon to leave New York
for his California and European and Washington adventures. Charles Astor
Bristed, grandson of the founder, was at this time 29 years of age, and his name
is too well known as writer and man of the world to need further mention.

564 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

At this first meeting of the trustees on May 20, 1848, business was com-
menced by calling King to the chair; Lord, as one of the acting executors of
the will, read the codicil by which the library was founded, with the clauses
in the fifth and sixth codicils supplementary thereto. William B. Astor then
read a letter of May 1 5, received by him from Reuben Hyde Walworth, late
Chancellor of the State, in answer to the notification of the present meeting
sent to him in capacity of Chancellor two days previously, in which letter
Walworth stated his inability to act as trustee in respect to his office by reason
of the provision of the new constitution under which that office ceased to exist.
The trustees present severally consented to accept the trust conferred upon
them; at the suggestion of King, the chairman, they then agreed to enter
upon their minutes resolutions expressing their sense of the honor conferred
upon them by the testator and the enduring respect and gratitude due his
memory from his adopted city. Irving, Halleck, and Lord were appointed
a committee to prepare the resolutions, Cogswell was appointed Superin-
tendent of the library, with authority, until otherwise ordered, to convene
the trustees and to preside over their meetings. William B. Astor, Ruggles,
and Bristed were appointed a committee to examine the two sites open to
their choice — southerly side of Astor Place or easterly side of Lafayette
Place — and to report as to the comparative advantages of each; and Mayor
Havemeyer, Ruggles, and William B, Astor were appointed a committee
to apply to the legislature for an act of incorporation.

The name of "The Astor Library" was chosen for the institution at
their second meeting on June 1 following and at this same meeting they
chose Walworth to take the place of Henry Brevoort, deceased. This second
proffer he declined on the 9th, on the ground that he intended to remain at
Saratoga Springs and could not be present at their meetings in New York.

On September 28, the committee appointed for the purpose recommended
the site on the eastern side of Lafayette Place in preference to the plot of
eqiial size on the southern side of Astor Place, facing the then opera house,
now the site of the Mercantile Library. They preferred the former "as equally
convenient for all public purposes, and as affording the comparative quietude
and retirement which are desirable for an institution of constant resort for
study and for the consultation of authorities in literature and science." The
plot was valued at $25,000, which sum was deducted from the $400,000 of
the endowment.

On October 28, Cogswell was authorized to go to Europe to purchase
books to the value of $20,000. The distracted political state of Europe at the
time seemed to offer peculiar advantages for purchases at low rates, a belief

fully justified by Cogswell's success on this first visit for the library. At
the sixth meeting of the trustees on November 1, just before he sailed, he
reported that he had purchased, during Mr. Astor's lifetime, books to the
amount of $2,500, which volumes were stored in five cases in the building
at 587 Broadway.

Cogswell's trip is best described in his letter to the Literary World of
New York, dated January 26, 1849:

"I reached London on the evening of the 27th of November, and since
that time I have spent all the daylight hours of every day in book-hunting
and book buying, and all the evening hours in seeing what I had done and
what I should do next. . . The sale of the Stowe library during my stay in
London has afforded me a fine opportunity for learning the booksellers' esti-
mate of the value of books, particularly of the more important ones. , . The
Astor Library gets the princeps 'Homer' (from this sale], which sold for
twenty-nine pounds, a less sum than any copy has been known to fetch for
a long while. . . There are but two other first editions which I am anxious
to have for the Astor Library: one is the 'Mazarin Bible.' which I despair of
obtaining, the other 'Shakespeare,' which I am resolved to have ... In my
selections, I am governed more by intrinsic value than by the accident of
rarity, believing that the Astor Library should be a learned and a useful one,
rather than a mere museum of curiosities, and in so doing I am acting in
conformity with my instructions from the Trustees. I am happy to state to
you that the library is now growing rapidly. We already number on our
catalogue above ten thousand volumes; among them many costly works, of
which few or no copies as yet are found in our libraries. . . I think I may
say that no one department of learning has been overlooked in laying the
foundation for a library, which I trust, will one day have all its chasms
completely filled up." (Letters, pages 244-249.)

When the State legislature met in January 1849 the library was deemed
of sufficient importance to receive a paragraph in the message of Governor
Hamilton Fish.* The act of incorporation was passed on January 18. It fixed
the number of trustees at eleven, named Irving, Astor, Lord, King, Cogswell,
Halleck, Ruggles, Ward, Bristed, and the mayor of the city, ex officio; defined
their duties and powers, specified the investment of library funds, the mode of

566 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

choosing officers and filling vacancies in their number, exempted from taxa-
tion the property of the institution, and required the trustees to make to the
legislature in January of each year a report for the calendar year preceding,
detailing the condition of the library, the funds and other property of the
corporation and its receipts and expenditures. The trustees declared their
acceptance of the act on February 14, 1849, and on that date chose Irving for
president and Ruggles for secretary. Irving held the office of president until
his death ten years later and Ruggles continued as secretary until 1876 when
he retired at the age of seventy-six to give way to a younger man. On March
28, 1849, William B. Aster was chosen treasurer, but he resigned on April 4
following when Daniel Lord was appointed to the office, which he held till
the time of his death in 1868.

By the terms of the will not more than $75,000 was to be spent for the
building and $120,000 was to be spent for purchase of books and other fittings.
Of the endowment one-third was payable a year after the death of the testa-
tor, one-third the year following, and the remainder, in equal sums, in the
fourth and fifth years after his decease. The first installment, amounting
to $133,706.67 was received on April 25, 1849, of which sum $25,000 was
held against payment to Mrs. Langdon, daughter of the founder, for the site
of the building. The site had been recommended to the trustees by William
B. Astor, Ruggles, and Bristed on September 28, 1848, selected by the trustees
on November 2 following, and was deeded to them by the executors on April
19, 1849 (deed recorded on June 13, following). In April the trustees hired
for two years the dwellmg house at 32 Bond Street for temporary custody
and exhibition of the books they had purchased, a portion of which had been
received from Europe and stored for several weeks by the owners of the
vessels in which they had been imported. The volumes were arranged at 32
Bond Street on temporary shelves and in cases, filling the whole lower story
and part of the second. The trustees stated in their first annual report their
"regret that the limited accommodations ja phrase worked into the souls of
their successors for over half a centuryj the building affords do not enable
them to extend to the public the necessary facilities for using the library as
freely as is desirable, and that this difficulty cannot be wholly obviated until
the library edifice shall be erected. But they ha\-e taken pains to make it
generally understoocl that, in the mean time, all persons desirous of resorting
to the library and of examining books, may do so with all the convenience
which it is in the power of the trustees to aflford." At this time the total
number of books in the library was estimated at over 20,000 volumes, includ-
ing $2,500 worth purchased by Cogswell during Astor's lifetime; the total

amount paid by the treasurer at this time on the book account was $27,009.33.
This report was accompanied by a list of 59 titles presented up to the end of
1849, and it stated that the preliminary catalogue of books already purchased
or designed to be purchased, prepared by Cogswell as a guide for his use,
was then in the press, 500 copies having been ordered to be printed on Sep-
tember 26, 1849. On his trip abroad Cogswell had paid £4,352, Sf.; he had
been authorized to spend $20,000, and to reduce the total to this limit he
offered to take on his own account six items amounting to £250, namely —
the first folio Shakespeare, £76, Homer (first edition, Florence: Demetrius
Chalcondylas, 1488, 2 volumes) £30, Silvestre's Paleographie, £46, an An-
tiphonary, £60, Lambert's Genus Pinus £24, 19 s., Bateman's Orckidacea
of Mexico £12, 12 s. He also offered to take all duplicates in the collection
and to give in exchange an equivalent from the books he had previously bought
with his own money with a view of offering them to the trustees. On Septem-
ber 26, Dix and King, to whom the offer had been committed, recommended
that the six titles above noted should be kept for the library and that Cogswell
be paid for them at cost; duplicates in the collection were valued at $471.51,
the, items offered by Cogswell at $500, and the difference was ordered to
be paid to him.

At the meeting of the trustees on March 28, 1849, Cogswell was author-
ized to advertise for plans for the library building and to offer premiums of
$300 for the most satisfactory plan and $200 for the next in merit. The ad-
vertisement in the Evening Post of March 30. called for plans for a building
of sixty-five feet front and one hundred and twenty feet in depth; they were
to be submitted to Cogswell at 587 Broadway on or before April 24 following.
The project aroused wide interest, inquiries coming from the south and east,
but the time allowed was too short; on April 13 the board extended it a week,
to May 1. When the plans, thirty in number, were examined, many were
found to possess considerable merit, though none was wholly satisfactory.
The board agreed, however, to award the premium of $300 to Alexander
Saelzer, and the second sum of $200 to James Renwick, jr. After conference
between Cogswell and Saelzer the plans submitted by the latter were pro-
visionally adopted (on June 13 following), the architect's compensation fixed
at $1,000 — increased to $1,500 on June 27 — and employment of an inspec-
tor authorized at $750.

The limitation of the cost of the building at $75,000 caused no little
embarrassment; the trustees wanted a building to hold 100,000 volumes at
the outset, to afford convenient accommodation for annual additions, to be
fireproof and of the necessary solidity, — requirements by no means easily

secured for this sum. Astor, Cogswell, and Saelzer drew up specifications
and called for bids for construction on the lines proposed; when these
bids were opened it was found that all exceeded the limit, the lowest, by con-
tractors whose ability to finish the work was by no means satisfactorily
established, amounting to $81,385.75, and the highest, though by thoroughly
satisfactory contractors, being $107,962. The architect was instructed to
modify his plans to reduce the cost, which proved an unsatisfactory proceeding
for both parties, so unsatisfactory that the trustees at one time resolved to
abandon Saelzer's plans and to confer with other architects. At length, how-
ever, Saelzer's plan was reworked, adopted finally on December 10, 1849,
and for this plan the construction bid of $75,000, by Peter J. Bogert and
James Harriot, was accepted on January 2 following.

Work of excavation began at once, the corner-stone being laid on March
14, 1850. It was hoped to have the building completed by April, 1852,
but sickness of the architect, the severe winter of 1851-1852. changes and
modifications in the plan, and other delays hindered completion until the
summer of 1853. Long before this time it had become evident that the limit
of $75,000 was an impossible one. William B. Astor bore the expense of
$1,590 for groined arches to render the structure more secure from fire, and
shelving and apparatus for heating and ventilating were paid for to the amount
of $17,141.99 from surplus interest accruing from the funds while the build-
ing was in progress and from the premium realized by the advance in market
value of United States bonds.

The end of 1852 saw the structure practically complete, but to expose
the books to any danger of damp walls was deemed unwise. Consequently
the trustees determined to move the books from 32 Bond Street in April, 1853,
hoping to open the library for public use in May following. Various delays
prevented fulfilment of this hope, however, and it was not until late in 1853
that they could fix the date of opening. On November 30, they adopted regula-
tions, seven in number, for the use of the collection.

These regulations provided that the building should be opened to the
public on January 9, 1854; for that month no books were to be consulted but
visitors would be welcome. On February 1, use of books was to begin. The
hours were fixed at from 10 a. m, to 5 p. m. except on Sundays and estab-
lished holidays. It was to be a reference library solely, no books to be taken
from the building for any purpose. Admission was to be free for all persons
over fourteen years of age.

Cogswell made his first trip abroad for purchase of books in the winter
of 1848-1849, spending something over $20,000. The remainder of 1849

and all of 1850 were spent in New York working at plans, specifications,
etc., for the building. Until this was completed the trustees felt it unwise
to buy extensively, contenting themselves during 1850 with sparing purchases
whenever advantageous. In their second annual report (for the year 1850)
they gave the number of volumes as 28, 364, the cost of purchasing and binding
being slightly over $35,000.

On February 19, 185 1 , they authorized Cogswell to make a second foreign
trip, to buy to the amount of about $25,000. He sailed soon after for England,
and went at once to London, where he found prices had advanced so materially
that he determined to try continental book marts before making extensive
English purchases. During the summer he scoured France, Italy, the Nether-
lands, Denmark, Scandinavia, Germany — this at the age of sixty-five. The
result was an addition of 28,000 volumes secured for $30,000, bringing the
total of the collection to about 55.000 or 60,000 volumes, and the total outlay
to about $65,000. He felt that the trip justified fully his expectations as to
the number and character of works so secured and that even if the actual
financial return had not been so successful, in other respects the trip would
have been well worth while. "It enabled me to fomi a personal acquaintance
with the leading book sellers in the places visited, made me more familiar with
the book trade, and with the libraries abroad, and afforded me an opportunity
of making our own institution more widely known than it had been before.
It was very gratifying to hear men like Humboldt, and Bunsen and Lepsius
speak of it as an institution, in which the world was interested, and to find many
persons desirous of offering some valuable volume or volumes to enrich its col-
lection. Within a few years a great number of important and costly scientific,
statistical and historical works have been published by direction and at the
expense of the different governments of Europe, which we might have gratui-
tously, I have no doubt, if application were made for them through the proper
channel. This expectation is based on the fact that the Astor library is univer-
sally free to foreigners as well as citizens, and on this ground it is especially
entitled to favor. In the few instances in which the request has been made, it
was promptly granted. Through the kindness of the Right Honorable Edward
Ellice, M.P., application was made, in behalf of the library to the Record
Commission, for the volumes of documentary history, published under their
direction at the cost of the British government, and an order immediately
obtained for every work of which any copies remained on hand. With like
readiness, the important statistical works published by the Danish government
were given to the library, on application through Justitsraad Boiling."

He returned in November 1851, and spent the next year in working over

his index to the collection, partly printed and partly manuscript; in checking,
shelving, and classifying the purchases. By November 1852 it was evident
that the building would not be in condition to receive the books for several
months, and he was again authorized to try the European markets, $25,000
being put at his disposal. He sailed early in December, and remained abroad
until March following, spending his time mainly in London, Paris, Brussels,
Hamburg, and Berlin. The result was the addition of about 25,000 volumes,
including a mathematical library of 3,000 volumes secured in BerUn and a
philosophical and miscellaneous collection of between four and five thousand
pieces bought in Florence. The trip itself he characterized as "the hardest
three months I have had since I began the work." Physically he stood it well,
however, and soon after his return was able to state (March 26, 1853) that
"the books are more than half moved over to the new building, and the rest
may easily be got out in a week."

His abihty as a book buyer forced even John Hill Burton to pay him the
following tribute in his Book-Hunter:

"Dr. Cogswell, the first librarian of the Astorian [library], spent some
time in Europe with his princely endowment in his pocket, and showed him-
self a judicious, active, and formidable sportsman in the book-hunting world.
Whenever, from private collections, or the breaking-up of public institutions,
rarities got abroad into the open market, the collectors of the old country
found that they had a resolute competitor to deal with — almost, it might be
said, a desperate one — since he was in a manner the representative of a nation
using powerful efforts to get possession of a share of the literary treasures
of the Old World...

". . .1 know that, especially in the instance of the Astorian Library, the
selections of books have been made with great judgment, and that, after the
boundaries of the common, crowded market were passed, and individual
rarities had to be stalked in distant hunting-grounds, innate literary value
was still held an object more important than mere abstract rarity, and, as
the more worthy quality of the two, that on which the buying power available
to the emissary was brought to bear." (New York, 1863. pages 179, 181.)

His own statement of the principles that guided him in selection was:
"The wants of the community, as far as ascertained, was the ground work
of the selection, and next the supplying of tleficiencies in the previously exist-
ing libraries of the city. The selection has been made with due regard to
the claims of every department of learning, and without giving preference
to any one to the prejudice of another. I make this statement with great
confidence, knowing how uniformly it has been my aim. But as books in
some departments are more costly than in others, and as it is in the most
costly that the wants are greatest, large sums have necessarily been applied

to works of that description, including those. on civil engineering, public im-
provements, architecture, and the arts generally, and the voluminous accounts
of the voyages and researches for scientific, geological and archffiological dis-
coveries. All of these belong to the class of subjects of particular interest
in the present day, and form an indispensable part of the collections of a
public library. Ours is now rich in them. It is also well provided with the
transactions of the learned societies; with works on natural history in all its
divisions; on the mathematical and physical sciences; on civil history and
its kindred branches, with good collections in general literature, both ancient
and modern, and is approaching towards a full apparatus of grammars, vocabu-
laries, dictionaries, and other facilities for acquiring the various languages
of the earth. The last named class is becoming one of great importance to
Americans. The position we now occupy brings us into near relation with
countries formerly the most remote, and makes the study of languages one
of practical utility as well as of necessity, for the learned inquirer into the
origin and affinities of the various tribes of the human race. It may be
thought, perhaps, that the learned professions have not been borne in mind.
as fully as the other departments in our collection as thus far formed, but
it should be recollected that the library is bound to preserve its character
as a general one, and hence cannot be expected to be made as complete in
any speciality, as those which are established exclusively for such a pur-
pose. It may be added, that it has repeatedly invited suggestions from pro-
fessional gentlemen, of books deemed by them valuable and desirable in the
collection, and that when made they have invariably been attended to. As
respects the completion of special departments, it may be remarked that this
desirable condition of the library can only be hoped for when they shall be
made the objects of the fostering care of individuals whose studies and tastes
are so directed. The funds of the library cannot properly be sq applied,
until it is brought much nearer completion as a general collection. Acting
under this conviction, and knowing the necessity of a complete bibliographi-
cal apparatus for the proper performance of my own duties, I asked to be
allowed to provide for the speciality of my own individual charge; it was
kindly granted to me. and I have now the satisfaction of seeing the object
so nearly accomplished that the collection is entitled to be called a well fur-
nished bibliographical library. A thousand volumes have been added to it
during the past year, and its whole number is now above two thousand."
(Annual Report for 1851, p. 5-6.)

The end of 1853, as stated before, saw the building completed, and the
books in place; competition for plans had l)een authorized March 28, 1849,
drawings were submitted May 1 following. Saelzer's plans adopted December
10, 1849, contract for erection let January 2, 1850, corner-stone laid March 14
following, the next three years being required for erection and completion.
The building was opened for public examination on January 9, 1854, stocked

with between 80.000 and 90,000 volumes, purchased at a cost of about $100,000,
of which sum, $3,000 had been furnished by the founder during his lifetime
and $7,500 represented a portion of a credit of £2,500 provided by William B.
Aster for purchase of works on the industrial arts.

The Evening Post of January 10, 1854 contained the following notice
of the opening:

"The opening of the Astor Library, in Lafayette Place, to the masses,
was the great event in this city of yesterday. During the whole day the
beautiful hall was filled with a constantly changing throng, who looked with
delight upon the magnificent facilities there afforded for the pursuit of knowl-
edge. We may observe here, that the numlier of books in the collection
exceeds, by some eight or nine thousand, the estimate given by Mr. Cogswell,
making the number nearer 90.000 than 80,000.

"The books will be ready for general use, though not to be taken from
the building, by the first of February. Meanwhile, several further accommo-
dations must be supplied. A reading room, with newspapers and reviews, and
a catalogue containing the regulations, will be furnished. It is also intended
soon to introduce gas pipes, so as to accommodate those who can only visit
the library at night. Until then, the public will be excluded after four o'clock
in the afternoon.

"It is a satisfactory reflection to the citizens of New York, and one
greatly to the credit of Mr. Coggswell [Siq. the collector, that a library so
large, and so complete in all its parts, has never before been put in order
within anything like the same time. The librarj- at Gottingen is the only one
in the world on exactly the same plan. But in that case, with every facility,
six years were employed in getting together 30,000 books, only about a third
the number to be found in the Astor collection.

"After all. we suspect, from the plan adopted, of keeping the books for
consultation and reference, and prohibiting their circulation out of doors,
the library may not prove so extensive in its benefits as was at first hoped.
Our people are too fond of excitement, and too wearied after their daily toils
to spend much of their time in solid reading, even at home; and the idea of
walking to the Astor Library for such puqwse requires a keener zest for study
than experience has shown them to possess. Still the advantages to scholars
and literary men, and. through them to the city at large, must be very decided,
and abundantly justifies the munificence of Mr. Astor."

Cogswell's own impressions of these first days are strikingly given in
a letter to Ticknor of January 18:

"The Library has been open now about ten days, and harassing days
they have been to me, — one unbroken string of questions from morning till
night, requiring constant and wearying repetition of the same answers. At
nine a. m. I take my stand inside the railing and there I remain as a fixture
until half-past four. They all look wistfully at the books and ask, 'Can't we

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 573

go into the alcoves and up to the second story,' and, when I answer, 'No,' they
break out into a railing accusation. But it's no use, I tell them, 'You can't
do it.' I know not what I should have done if I had not hit upon this plan
of a dose corporation. It would have crazed me to have seen a crowd ranging
lawlessly among the books, and throwing everything into confusion."

The remainder of the month allowed the novelty to wear off for the
sight-seeing public and to reduce visitors, when it was opened for the use of
books, to the students for whom it had been collected. The story of its first
real use is thus told by the Morning Courier of February 9:

"The Astor Library is the only one in the United States, of considerable
extent, from which books are not lent out, and in which they are used
exclusively for reference and consultation. It is also the first experiment in
a great city of an unlimited free librarjs and as it has just gone into opera-
tion upon this system, it may be a matter of some interest to know just how
far it promises to answer the purposes of its founder in establishing it.

"In accordance with a previous announcement in two of the city morning
papers, it was opened for use on the first inst. at 10 o'clock a. m., the hour
named in the notice. Several persons soon came in and asked for books, and
the proper business of the library was immediately entered upon. The first
books called for were Woodhouse's Astronomy, Foelix's Traite du Droit Inter-
national, Frontinus' de Acqu<ediictibiis. Asiatic Researches. Abernethy on dis-
eases of the stomach, Cruveilher Anatomic Pathologique, Moore's Poems,
Mulier's Science of War, Goldsmith's Works, Cuvier's Animal Kingdom,
Strutt's Sports and Pastimes, Chambers" English Literature, etc. This speci-
fication is formed by taking every fifth work on the list of those asked for
during the day, and is a fair sample of the class and character of the first day's
reading. The whole number of readers was about fifty, the total number of
books called for between sixty and seventy, of which all except some three
or four were found to belong to the library. On the second day the number
of readers and of books used was much larger, and both continued to increase
until the end of the week, without any material difference in the kind of read-
ing. Costly works of Art and of Natural History were often asked for.
and shown by one of the assistants in the Library. Many works of this
description belong to it which are too large for common exhibition, but
whenever it is important to a reader to examine them, permission is given
for their use, under the direction of someone accustomed to manage them.

"We understand from the Superintendent that nothing could be more
satisfactory than the deportment, both of readers and visitors, during the
first week's experiment in the use of the Library; it was unexceptionable
in every respect, and affords an unequivocable proof that its advantages are
understood and valued. It would be unjust to these gentlemen to suppose
that any other influence was necessary to produce this result than their own
sense of propriety. They felt they were in the presence of representatives

of the mighty dead; and they showed that they knew what respect is due to
them. Many no doubt were disappointed and somewhat annoyed at not find-
ing printed catalogues of the Library to assist them in making choice of
books for reading, and at not being freely admitted within the raihng to
take down books for examination themselves. The latter would be wholly
incompatible with the order which must be preserved in keeping books in
their places; the former defects, we are informed, will be remedied as soon
as it is possible to prepare and print such a catalogue as will essentially aid
those using the Hbrary. This cannot be done well if it is done hastily, and
the present substitutes will serve the purpose for some time.

"The experiment thus far is so satisfactory to the direction of the library,
that it excites the strongest wish to give every possible facility in the use
of it consistent with its safe administration. Its machinery, it must be remem-
bered, is now working only on its trial trip, and should it be discovered that
any of the screws are loose, it will not require much time to replace them.
The inquiry is often made, 'Will the library be open in the evening?' Those
who reflect upon the difficulties in the way of accomplishing this will soon
decide that it cannot be. The labor and expense of administering it would
be more than doubled, so say nothing of the greatly increased risk of fire from a
number of gas burners sufficient to light the large saloon. The number of
persons to whom this would be an accommodation is too small to justify
the diversion of so large a sum as it would cost from the better use of it in
adding to the books. There are two classes of persons for whose benefit it
is particularly desirable -to have the library accessible in the evening, if they
would be disposed to use it; we refer to apprentices and clerks. If any plan
can be devised by which this can be done, without the cost and risk of
lighting the principal library room, we have not a doubt that the trustees
would adopt it."

Of these first days Cogswell wrote to Ticknor on February 24, 1854:
"Everything goes on very smoothly among the habitues of the library. The
readers average from one to two hundred daily, and they read excellent books,
except the young fry, who employ all the hours they are out of school in reading
the trashy, as Scott, Cooper, Dickens, Punch, and the 'Illustrated News.'
Even this is better than spinning street yarns, and as long as they continue
perfectly orderly and quiet, as they now are, I shall not object to their amusing
themselves with poor books," He prepared a semi-official account of the
Library for the "Home Journal," which was reprinted in large part by the
newspapers of the day and also in the fifth annual report of the trustees.

"The Astor Library is placed in a central and easily accessible situa-

and by Fourth Street near the centre. A more appropriate site could not be
found in New- York. The street has a refined, classic air, and is in a good
degree exempt from the throng and noise and bustle of business streets. The
contrast between it and Broadway is so striking in this respect, that it is
difficult to comprehend that they are in such near proximity.

"The library edifice is a plain structure of brick, raised upon a lower
story of rustic ashler brown stone, somewhat more lofty than the neighbor-
ing buildings. The style of architecture is the Byzantine, and the front is
rendered imposing by the deeply recessed arched doors and windows, the
rich brown stone mouldings and mullions, and still more by the boldly pro-
jecting cornice, corbels, and entablature, all beautifully wrought in the same
material. On opening the main entrance door, the eye falls at once upon a
beautiful flight of thirty-six broad marble steps, leading between straight
walls of solid mason work, to the sec<jnd floor of the building, which is the
main floor of the library proper. These stairs land the visitor at a point
about the centre of the room, which is a hundred feet in length by sixty-four
in width and fifty in height. A broad skylight, extending two-thirds its
length, with a row of huge curved panes of glass on each side, and a double
sash spreading nearly horizontally across the centre, pours in a flood of light
from above, which, with that let in through the broad windows in front and
eight in the rear, gives an uncommonly cheerful aspect to the apartment. It
is really beautiful as it is, and will be much more so when the glare of its
stucco ornaments, and of its gilded balustrades, become[S] softened down
by time. The internal arrangement is a very convenient one, and very eco-
nomical of space. A series of seven alcoves or apartments, open in front and
rear, fills up the space on each side from the side walls to the columns which
support the roof, leaving corridors two and a half feet in width along the
walls, by which a communication is established between the different parts
of the library. On this plan, the capacity of the room for books is more
than doubled; that is, for every fifty-one wall shelves, there are seventy-two
in the alcoves. On no other could it be made to contain one hundred thousand
volumes, as it is now ascertained it will. Each alcove has a light gallery,
eleven feet above the floor, to give easy access to the higher tier of shelves;
and these galleries, extended in front of the wall shelves, form a continued
corridor from end to end. The room within the columns which support the
roof is open from floor to skylight, but divided into two stories between these
columns and the outer walls. In the second story there is a series of alcoves
exactly corresponding to that on the first, with similar galleries above. The
part of the library which is divided into alcoves is separated from the open
area in the centre by a light iron railing. This area is provided with read-
ing tables, for those who wish to use the books, which are to be handed to
them by the assistant librarians. The only part of the library above the first
floor which has not been described are two small rooms in the northeast corner,
appropriated to the superintendent: these two rooms are not taken from the

main building, but formed by carrying up a portion of the walls of the pro-
jection in the rear.

"A little more than four years have now elapsed since the library edifice
was begun, and it is not yet six months since it was completed. In this last
interim, the books, now amounting to nearly eighty thousand volumes, have
been classified, catalogued, and systematically arranged upon the shelves;
and in the same time a great deal of other labor incident to the preparation
of a library has been done. This may seem a long time for accomplishing
such a work, to those who have been waiting to use the books; but it would
be difficult to name a library of equal extent, that was ever put in order in less.

"The number of volumes is now nearly eighty thousand: it is proper
to add, that some thousands of these are double and triple volumes, bound
together for the sake of economy. Had these remained as they were bought,
the whole number would be considerably greater than it is.

"The system of classification is that of Brunet, whose great work on
Bibliography, entitled 'Manuel du Libraire,' is better, more complete, and
more generally known than any similar publication. His system is by no
means unexceptionable, but some chart is indispensable in arranging a library,
and that is the best that has been given to the public.

"The arrangement begins with Theology. In this department the Astor
Library hSs three thousand, seven hundred and fifty-two volumes, including
the best editions of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, the Walton Polyglott,
various editions of the Vulgate, and numerous versions of the whole Bible,
and of parts of it, in the principal languages of Europe and the East. The
collection of the Fathers is full, but not absolutely complete, and contains
most of the Benedictine editions, the Bibliotheca Maxima of Despont, the
Patres Apostolici of Cotelerius, and many other works of this class of less
note. It is equally well provided with works on the Councils, including
Colet's edition of Labbe, in twenty-nine volumes; the Concilia Maxima, in
thirty-seven volumes folio; Beveridge's Synodicon, Lorenzana, Concilianos
provinciales, etc. It is also respectable in scholastic, dogmatic, pareneti'c and
polemic theology, including the early and more recent English divines in the
best editions.

"Jurisprudence forms the second department, which numbers three
thousand one hundred and seven volumes. In this, the object has been to
provide those works which are rarely found here, rather than to form a
complete law library. The collection is good on the civil law, embracing
various editions of the Corpus Juris, and commentaries upon it; it contains
also, all the codes of Scandinavia, and of other parts of Europe, during the
middle ages; the system of jurisprudence as now practised in Italy, Portugal,
Germany, Denmark and Sweden; the Fuerosa siete Partidas and Recopila-
ciones of Spain, together with the digests and commentaries on the Mussel-
man, Hindoo, Gentoo and Chinese laws. In French law, the library is really
rich, beginning with the Ordonances des Reis, and coming down to the very
latest volume of the Journal du Palais. The selection for the English common

law was made by two of the most eminent jurists in the country: it is not large,
but very choice. In this department, the most prominent deficiency is in Ameri-
can law; and for that a whole alcove has been reserved, to be filled up as soon
as practicable.

"The next department is that of Sciences and Arts, in which, of course,
medical science is included; and as it occupies an alcove adjoining jurispru-
dence, this is the proper place to introduce it,

"The number of volumes in the medical department of the library is
only 1,751. This, as a specialty, is so well provided for in the hospital and
other medical libraries of the city, it was thought less important to make a
full collection of medical books here. It is "also a specialty in which there
are many books not suited to a general public library; but full justice will
be done for the department when it is known what should be done. Medical
gentlemen have only to say what books are wanting, to be sure of their being
provided,

"The Natural Sciences form another division of this department, and
this is one of the richest and best furnished in the library. It is necessarily
very costly, as naturalists will readily understand, when they know it con-
tains such works as the 'Palmarum Genera et Species of Martius,' in a colored
copy; 'Plantae Asiaticje Rariores of Wallich"; Roxburgh's 'Plants of the
Coast of Coromandel'; a complete set of Gould's Birds of Europe, Aus-
tralia, Himalayas, Toucans, and Trogons; "Illustrations Conchyliologitjues par
Chenu'; 'Audubon's Birds of America'; "Sibthorp's Flora Grasca'; 'Lambert's
"Genus Pinus'; and at least a hundred other volumes of the same character.
The whole number of volumes embraced in it is four thousand two hundred
and forty-nine.

"The third division of sciences and arts is that of Chemistry and Physics;
to which, from the intimate relation it bears to them, may be added that of
Useful Arts or Polytechnics. The transactions of societies for the promotion
of science and arts may also be assigned to it. These collections contain so
many memoirs and papers of prime importance to practical men, as well as
to men of science, which are published in no other form, and it was deemed
necessary to have them as complete as possible in the library. The desideratum
is now nearly attained. We have the publications of the principal societies in
Great Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Nor-
way, Russia, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, and also of the United States, amount-
ing altogether to more than two thousand volumes, principally quartos. It
will be a leading object of the library to provide a complete "Bibliotheque
Industrielle,' or collection of books for the special benefit of practical industry.
A convenient and commodious room will be prepared for it on the first floor
of the building, in which every accommodation will be aiTorded to those who
wish to consult it. It was not possible to make this arrangement in time for
the opening of the library; but it will soon be done. The books which apper-
tain to it now amount to nearly five thousand volumes.

"In the order of classification, the Metaphysical and Ethical Sciences

578 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

precede the Natural; but it was found necessary, in the arrangement of the
library, to make a deviation, and place the last named first. The class now-
referred to includes general philosophical treatises, works on intellectual and
moral philosophy, and the application of the latter to education, politics, and
political economy. The books on these subjects now belonging to the library
amount to fifteen hundred volumes: the addition of about an equal number
would complete the department.

"Next in order are the Mathematical Sciences, of which the Astor
Library has a first rate collection. It is rich, not only in pure mathematics,
but also in the applied: in astro^nomy, mechanics, hydraulics, engineering it is
very full, and not deficient in military tactics. It has drawn largely upon
the libraries of several celebrated mathematicians for books to form it, such
as Halley's and Legendre's. which were greatly enriched by Mr. S. Ward,
after they were bought by him; also Jacobi's and the two Heiligenstadts, of
Berlin. To these have since been added the most important mathematical
works more recently published in Europe and America. A very competent
judge, who is a resident in Berlin, considers the collection as more complete
than that of the Royal Library there; and although this opinion may not
l)e altogether correct, it is undoubtedly entitled to be ranked with the first
mathematical libraries abroad. The number of volumes contained in it may
be put down at five thousand. Besides full collections of all the published
works of Euler and Gauss, it has several unpublished manuscripts of these
great mathematicians; all the mathematical journals; all the works of New-
ton, Leibnitz, the Bernouillis, Laplace, Delambre, Lacroix, Legendre, Jacobi,
Adel, etc.; the astronomical observations generally, and a very large number
of mathematical dissertations and papers, which are not easily found.

"Following upon this division is that of the Arts; and as an account
of the books on polytechnics has already been given in connection with chemis-
try, those on the fine arts only remain to be described. No part of a Hbrary
requires so much money as this, as it consists mostly of books of plates and
engravings, which are generally large and expensive folios. Still, it is too
important to be curtailed, and the collection in the Astor Library will be
found not to have been so treated. In the four branches of the Fine Arts
proper, and including Archaeology, which cannot be separated from ancient
art, there are in the collection about twenty-five hundred volumes, upon the
first fifty of which two thousand nine hundred and seventy-five dollars were
expended. To verify this statement we name the fifty volumes, premising
that they are all large folios, fully bound in red morocco, in the most finished
style, except six, which are half bound. A complete set of Piranesi's 'Antiqui-
ties,' proof plates, twenty-eight in twenty-one volumes; 'Musee Francis et
Royale,' proof plates before the letter, six volumes; Raphael's 'Loggia of the
Vatican,' engraved by Volpato, and exquisitely colored by hand in the exact
style of the originals, three volumes; a complete set of the 'Grecian Antiqui-
ties.' thirteen volumes; Gruner's 'Fresco Decorations of Italy,' colored by hand

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 5/9

in the same style as Raphael's 'Loggia,' one volume, and Lepsius's 'Denkmaler
aus ^gypten,' six volumes.

"Our next general division is Literature or Belles Lettres, beginning with
languages. In books on languages the library is strong, perhaps we might say
very strong; its linguistic apparatus would do credit to a much older institu-
tion. It has grammars and dictionaries of one hundred and four different
languages, and numerous vocabularies of the rude unwritten ones. It has
also chrestomathies, and other usual facilities for studying them. All the
families and branches of European languages, and a greater part of . those
of Asia and Africa, are represented in the collection. It contains the best
works on the Egyptian hieroglyphics, the cuneiform inscriptions, and the other
curious records of the ancient nations of the East, which recent discoveries
have brought to light. It has also the best of the vocabularies of the ancient
dialects of the Mexican and South American Indians, which were collected
and published by the early Spanish missionary priests. Books of this last
class have become excessively rare, and consequently dear. A perfect copy
of Molina's 'Arte de la Lengiia Mexicana,' cannot be had for less than fifty
dollars; and Rincon's Grammar of the same language, a mean little duodecimo,
bound, or rather done up in limp vellum, which few would accept as a gift,
costs much more than its weight in gold. This sort of books makes large
drafts upon the funds of a library, without adding much either to its volumes
or its appearances; but they must be had. In the Oriental collection there
are two works, which must be so rare in this country, that it may be important
to describe them; and these are the 'Seven Seas: a Dictionary and Grammar
of the Persian Language.' in seven volumes, folio, by the late king of Oudh,
which was printed in his palace; and the 'Sabda Kalpa Druma of the Rajah
Radhakant Deb,' a Sanskrit dictionary, in seven volumes, folio — the last two
not yet received. Neither of these works was printed for sale: several copies
of the first were sent as presents to the East India Company in London, one
of which we have; and the second was intended only for presents to the native
and English pundits. Our copy was one which was presented to the Rev.
\V. Morton, author of a Bengali and English dictionary, at whose death it
was sold. The whole linguistic collection numbers two thousand and one
hundred volumes.

"In the other divisions of literature, the classification is made first accord-
ing to language, and then in each language the subdivisions are more or less
minute in proportion as the works are numerous. The history of each litera-
ture is found with it; and first of Greek and Latin literature. This is neither
a very strong nor a weak department of the library; it is just about as it ought
to be, to stand neither above nor below its fair proportion. It contains a
copy of one or more editions of all the authors of note in both languages.
When it has one edition only, the most approved has uniformly been selected.
Of the authors of the highest rank, several editions in all cases have been
provided. There are, for instance, more than a dozen different Homers —
among them the princeps of 1488; half as many of the Greek tragedians, of

580 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

Pindar, of Demosthenes, of Herodotus, of Thucydides, and all of that class.
So in Latin there are twelve Virgils, quite as many Horaces, half as many
Ovids and Ciceros, and Livys, and Plinys. The whole number of volumes,
in both languages, with the apparatus criticus pertaining to them, is three
thousand one hundred. In Spanish and Portuguese literature, the number of
volumes is six hundred and seventy -three; the Italian, though not fuller in
proportion, has one thousand seven hundred and sixty-one. In coming to
the French, we find a still more copious literature; in this the library has three
thousand one hundred and one volumes. German literature is of a more recent
growth than either of those previously named; of the fourteen hundred vol-
umes in this language of the class of belles leltres, certainly one thousand
must be the productions of the present century, and not above one hundred
anterior to the middle of the last. In Dutch literature we have brought
together one hundred and fifty-six volumes, including the immortal Cats, in
various forms and sizes; Vondel, Feith, the publications of the Bataafsche
Maatschappi j . the Maatschappij der Nederlandsche Letterkunde te Leiden, the
Hollandsche Maatschappij van Fraaije Kunsten en Wetenschapen, and of the
Vereeniging ter Bevordering der Oude Nederlandsche Letterkunde.

"The collection of Scandinavian literature, distinct from the Sagas and
other historical works, amounts to eight hundred and nine volumes. In the
Hungarian, and in the Slavonic languages collectively, we have only forty-one.

"It may be feared, perhaps, that in this confusion of languages, the
mother tongue has been forgotten; but that is not the case, we have come at
last to the pure well of English undefiled. In the collection of English litera-
ture, very few of the works of much value will be found wanting. It is not
as large as it might easily be made; but it has its full proportion, and cannot
rightly claim to be made absolutely complete at the expense of the others.
It now numbers three thousand four hundred volumes, more than three hun-
dred of which are exclusively Shaksperian literature. It should be borne in
mind that a large portion of every department in the library, except that of
literature, consists of books in the English language; so that it is fair to con-
clude that more than one-half of the whole could be read by those who knew
no other. To this it may be added, that in collecting books for a library
which aims to be a good and a great one, the proper question is, what is the
merit of a work, and not in what language it is written.

"The Historical department is the last in the order of classification.
This department is fuller perhaps than any other, with the exception of
mathematics, languages and bibliography. It constitutes a fourth part at
least of the whole library. With a few exceptions it is arranged in the series
of alcoves extending on the main floor, from the southeast to the southwest
comer. Works on chronology, diplomatics, numismatics, heraldry, inscrip-
tions and antiquities, are regarded as introductions to the right understand-
ing of history, and are placed in the first alcove, with general biographical
<lictionaries and universal history. Biography does not form a class by itself;
but is placed either with the civil or literary history to which it belongs.

V Google

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 581

Geography, for the more convenient use of maps and charts, is placed on
the second floor; and voyages and travels, as most intimately connected
with the discovery and history of America, are placed in immediate prox-
imity to it, instead of preceding the historical collection, as they usually do.

"Ecclesiastical History is appended to Theology. This account has
already been too far extended to allow the details to be continued. It can
only be stated generally, that the historical divisions are in the usual way,
and that when it was necessary to bring the history of more than one country
into the same alcove, regard was had to the connection which had existed
between them in the past. Thus Spanish, Portuguese and Italian History are
together; French occupies a whole alcove; German, Dutch and Belgian are
together in an alcove, and with them Scandinavian and Russian; English,
Scotch and Irish History fills another alcove, Asiatic and African His- ■
tory, for want of room below, is placed on the second floor, in an alcove with
Oriental literature; the latter, including the Chinese, number seven hundred
volumes.

"To the American Historical department, a larger space in the library
has been assigned than to any other, because it is intended to make this the
most complete. The collection already formed contains most of the early
Spanish writers; the early voyages, the accounts of the first colonists, the
various histories of the War of Independence, and the older books generally.
In the more modern ones, there are many deficiencies to be supplied. Not in
American History only, but also in American Literature, it is hoped that the
library will, sooner or later, be made complete. It now numbers three thousand
four hundred and seven volumes, making in all the divisions of history,
twenty thousand three hundred and fifty volumes.

"At the end of his system of classification, Brunet has a sort of appendix,
which he calls Paralipomenes Historiques, where he places Bibliography and
Literary History. It would certainly be quite as philosophical an arrange-
ment to regard books of this class as introductions, for they are indispensable
to the knowledge of all others. For this reason, and for the convenience of
those who have charge of the library, they have this place assigned to them
in our arrangement. The collection is very full in both of these classes, par-
ticularly in the former, in which scarcely one important work is wanting. The
number of volumes contained in them is four thousand six hundred, which
is exclusive of the special literary history of the different countries."

The interest of the extract itself and its value as an exposition of ends
and aims must justify adding to the above lengthy quotation from Cogswell's
pen, the following extract from his report to the trustees, dated January 25,
1854, and printed in their fifth annual report to the legislature:

"I trust I shall not be understood as implying that the real worth of a
library is to be estimated by its number of volumes, which is very like estimat-
ing a farm by its number of acres. Use and time are the only certain tests
of the value of a library.

582 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

"There are but few general libraries in this country which have been
formed upon system, and here, in this great city especially, one was needed,
to supply before existing deficiencies: one that would enable the scientific
enquirer to track the progress of knowledge and discovery to its last step; to
furnish to the mechanic arts and practical industry in general, the help and
guidance required from books; to make the artist familiar with the history,
character and style of the great masters of his art; to call up to the student
the past, in all the wide range of imagination and thought, and provide the
best and healthiest intellectual food for the minds of all ages and classes.

"If this is the character of the Astor library, it is such an one as the
founder intended to establish. Not a book was bought for it, during his
lifetime, that was not of this description, and every one that was bought
■ had his sanction. The number was not great, but sufficient to show what
sort of a library he intended to create. Can any one suppose, that such books
as Audubon's Birds of America, Montfaucon's Antiquities, Dumont's Cours
de Droit, the Writings of the Fathers, Britton's Architectural Antiquities,
the first, second and third editions of Erasmus' Greek Testament, the Prin-
ceps Pausanias, the Transactions of the Society of Arts, and the Parlia-
mentary Journals, were to make part of a popular hbrary?

"But all these, and others of the same stamp, were bought under Mr.
Astor's direction and approval. It is certain, both from what he said and
what he did, that he had in view the lasting welfare and progressive improve-
ment, and not the mere momentary gratification of the community, in found-
ing the library which bears his name. Had it been nothing more than a
reading-room, or a circulating library, which he intended, he would never
have wasted such munificence upon it: a tithe of the sum would have more
than sufficed.

"Besides, all such libraries are the proper concerns of clubs and societies
formed for that express purpose, and to be managed as they see fit.

"It is important that the character of this institution should be fixed
at the beginning. Every measure in connexion with it has been taken on
the ground of its being a library for reference and consultation, and not a
lending one or a miscalled popular one. It is equally free to the poorest
and to the wealthiest, for the use to which it is adapted.

"By our excellent system of free schools and free academies, instruc-
tion in its widest scope is enjoyed by every child in the land; and whence
can the knowledge necessary for imparting that instruction be drawn, if
there are no fountain-heads, at which the teachers can drink? But for the
Croton dam and the reservoirs supplied by means of it, how many thousands
in this great metropolis would now be thirsty for a draught of water? In
the same way, great reservoirs of science and learning are indispensable for
feeding the streams, which diffuse the blessings of knowledge through every
dwelling, as well the humblest as the proudest.

"When a library is known to have rare and valuable books, which cannot
elsewhere be found, all who are in want of such books will resort to it, so

V Google

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 583

long as it is a certainty not only that the books wanted belong to the library,
but also that they are not lent out.

"Until libraries of this character are more numerous in this country,
the only way of making them most extensively serviceable is to keep the
books where they are sure to be found, and can be consulted readily. No
large library, filled with the popular reading books of the day, could sustain
itself fifty years, unless its means were unlimited. All the works of that
class would require to be renewed every four or five years, and inevitable
bankruptcy would be the end of the institution.

"It must be the wish, as it is the duty, of the trustees of the Astor
Library, to make it as widely and as generally useful as possible, and they
only are the constituted judges of the proper mode of effecting it. A free
public library is a new thing here, and some practical experience is required
before a final plan of operations can be fixed upon. Experiment and observa-
tion will doubtless develop improvements which may be necessary.

"It is not unreasonable to ask for that confidence and co-operation on
the part of the public, which will enable the trustees to complete the organ-
ization of the institution, and place it on a basis of permanent usefulness,
combined with the readiest accommodation to all who wish to avail themselves
of its privileges. To meet what was understood to be a general wish, it was
opened prematurely; and without much patient indulgence of those who resort
to it, the work which remains for providing all necessary facilities cannot be
perfected,

"In forming this library, it has not been forgotten that it is designed for
a general and not a special one: hence it is not to be expected that it will be
found complete in any one department; at the same time, I may assert that
not one will prove absolutely meagre.

"The next step is to ascertain what deficiencies are first to be made up,
and what facilities are now afforded for doing this, by the present classifica-
tion and arrangement. An hour or two's examination of a department, by
a person conversant with its literature, would disclose to him what is still
most requisite in it, and in this way the whole library might soon be brought
to an uniform condition of completeness.

"There would still be much that could not be done, without greater means
than the library has at command. As its importance and usefulness become
more and more manifest, the desire for its increase will become more general;
the studies and tastes of different individuals will lead them to take special
interest in one or other of the departments, and provide for its completion.
Something in this way was done for the department of bibliography, when the
library began to be formed. The privilege is now claimed by Mr. William B.
.Astor, of taking another under his special protection. When I was in Europe
the last time, he opened for me a credit of two thousand five hundred pounds
for the purchase of books, to form a special technological library, embracing
every branch of practical industry and the mechanic arts. Between seven
and eight thousand dollars of this sum were expended in books of that class.

which, together with those of the same kind before bought, form an extensive
collection in this department.

"As this is a department which requires a good deal of room for its
convenient use, I would suggest to the trustees that the large room on the
first floor, known as the lecture room, should be appropriated to it, and shelv-
ing put up for arranging it. This plan would gain, in the principal library
saloon, a large space for the additions which must soon come into it.

"During the last two years the Bibliographical department has been
much increased, and including general literary history, which is annexed to
it, now forms a library not much short of five thousand volumes. This having
been collected at my own charge, I cannot be called upon to render an account
of its cost, which is to me the most agreeable circumstance in connection with
it. I would as soon tell a child, if I had one, how much I had expended upon
his education, as allow a thought of money to have any part in my interest
in the Astor Library.

"As respects catalogues, the present state of things is as follows: The
perpetual catalogue, which is so planned as never to require any other change
than that of being enlarged with the increase of the library, is now completed,
and as soon as it can be revised and compared with the titles in the books,
may be transcribed for printing. It is made on separate slips, and kept in
boxes of the form and appearance of books. Such a catalogue is, of course,
only fit for the use of the officers of the library. I propose, if it meets the
approbation of the trustees, to take up the library by departments and prepare
a classed catalogue, to be printed as each department is completed: in the
mean while, the printed index, and the two additional catalogues in manuscript
will answer for immediate use."

PART II

(The Allot Library, continued)

For the first year the average daily use was about 100 volumes, with
a total for the year of about 30,000. "But this," Cogswell says, "is a matter
in which numerical statistics do not afford much satisfaction; nothing short
of a specification of the books read or consulted would show the importance
which the library is to the public, as a source of information and knowledge,
and as this cannot be given, a more general account must serve as a substitute.
On observing the classes and kinds of books which have been called for, I
have been particularly struck with the evidence thus afforded of the wide
range which the American mind is now taking in thought and research;
scholastic theology, transcendental metaphysics, abstruse mathematics, and
oriental philology have found many more readers than Addison and Johnson,
while on the other hand, I am happy to be able to say, that works of practical
science and of knowledge for every-day use, have been in great demand. Very
few have come to the library without some manifestly distinct aim; that is,
it has been little used for mere desultory reading, but for the most part with
a specific view. It would not be easy to say which department is most con-

suited, but there is naturally less dependence upon the library for books of
theology, law and medicine than in the others, the three faculties being better
provided for in the libraries of the institutions especially intended for them.
Still, in each of these departments, the library has many works not elsewhere
to be found. It is now no longer merely a matter of opinion; it is shown by
experience that the collection is not too learned for the wants of the public. No
one fact will better illustrate this position than the following: in the linguistic
department it possesses dictionaries and grammars, and other means of instruc-
tion in more than one hundred languages and dialects, four-fifths of which have
been called for during the first year of its operation. Our mathematical,
mechanical and engineering departments are used by great numbers, and
they are generally known to be so well furnished, that' students from a dis-
tance have found it a sufficient object to induce them to spend several weeks
in New York to have the use of them. The same remark applies to natural
history, all branches of which are much studied here. In entomology we
are said to have the best and fullest collection in the country to which natural-
ists have free access. Passing to the historical side of the library we come
to a department in which a very general interest has been taken — far more
general than could have been anticipated in our country — it is that of
heraldry and genealogy. Among the early purchases for the library there
were but few books of this class, as it was supposed but few would be wanted;
a year or two's experience proved the contrary, and the collection has been
greatly enlarged; it is now sufficiently ample to enable anyone to establish
his armorial bearings, and trace his pedigree at least as far back as the down-
fall of the Western empire. From this rapid glance at the library, it has been
seen that there are students and readers in all departments of it, and that no
one greatly preponderates over the rest; still, I think it may be stated, that
on the whole that of the fine arts, taken collectively, is the one which has been
most extensively used; practical architects and other artists have had free
access to it, many of whom have often had occasion to consult it."

The number of readers this first year varied from thirty for the lowest
day to one hundred and fifty for the highest. The minimum age for admis-
sion was fixed at fourteen, but it was soon found that reading room accom-
modations were not sufficient for adult readers and "the crowds of school-
boys who came in at certain hours of the day to read, more for amusement than
improvement, and shun their classical lessons by the use of English transla-
tions." The trustees, on Cogswell's recommendation, raised the age limit to
sixteen, when the library "assumed its proper character, and became a place
of quiet study, where every one found ample accommodation."

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 625

Some criticism was to be expected because of the restriction of the use
of books to the building, but the answer came that the Hbrary had been
established as a reference collection with no intentiton of circulation, and
that "the still stronger reason may be added that a free library of circulation
is a practical impossibility in a city as populous as New York. In the first
place, it could never supply one out of a hundred of the demands in the case of
popular books; and in the next place, it would be dispersed to the four winds
within five years." The city was not to have a free circulating library for
the next quarter of a century, not until the New York Free Circulating
Library was established to demonstrate, in a measure, that Cogswell's pessi-
mistic forebodings were unfounded. His own friends in Boston at this same
time were establishing a system for the free circulation of books, many of which
could scarcely be described as popular books or works designed for amuse-
ment alone.

However, to prevent further agitation of making the library one for
circulation of books, the trustees entered on their records a stipulation express-
ing their views, "in such a form as to furnish a pledge, not only to the public,
but to every friend of learning, who may hereafter feel disposed to aid the
library by donations or endowments." The record shows that at the meeting
of July 29, 1857:

"Mr. Astor stated, that the donations by him made, and some intended
to be hereafter made, were on the understanding, that it was the settled and
unchangeable basis of administering the library, that its contents should remain
in the library rooms, for use by readers there, and should not be lent out or
allowed to be taken from the rooms; and he requested that the views of the
board be freely and fully expressed. It was thereupon

"Resolved, That the settled and unchangeable plan of administering
the library is the one above expressed and understood by Mr. Astor; and that
the donations in money, land, and otherwise, received from Mr. Astor, and
to be hereafter received from him, and from other friends of learning, are
received and will be administered according to such plan, and not otherwise."

Once fairly established, the care of the shelves became a routine matter and
attention could be centred on a wise fostering of growth and on the preparation
of a catalogue. For 1854 the sum of $1,123.30 was available for the purchase
of new books, of which sum $1,000 was applied to a set of the octavo edition
of Audubon's Birds and Quadrupeds. For the increase in other departments
the general fund was drawn upon for about $13,000, resulting in purchases
of periodicals — the number then received currently was 320 — books on

art, English county history and heraldry, Halliwell's new edition of Shake-
speare, and about 500 volumes on music.

A very practical appreciation of the institution was shown in the way
of donations, — important gifts being received from the national government
at Washington, from learned societies and from individuals in various parts
of the country; the state government at Albany sent extensive selections of
public documents of New York, the legislature of Maine by resolution of
April 27, 1854, directed the Secretary of State to forward complete sets of
state documents; Massachusetts and Rhode Island took a similar step in
1856, and in 1855 the British commissioners of patents presented a complete
set of their publications.

The question of a catalogue was to Cogswell's mind a matter of prime
importance; he felt, however, that a general alphabetical index of authors
was inadvisable at the time, because of the expense entailed in printing it,
because the rapid growth of the collection would soon render a general cata-
logue out of date, and because the official "slip" catalogue served to answer
promptly inquiries made by readers in quest of particular books. Besides
the memory of the librarians and personal examination of the shelves there
was no guide to answer queries as to what books the library had on a given
subject. For this reason he planned to issue his catalogue by departments,
selecting first those groups most nearly complete, binding together these depart-
mental catalogues when the whole was finished, and providing an alphabetical
index of authors as a connecting link.

The first step towards this end came in the shape of a catalogue of
the department of oriental and American linguistics,' intended avowedly not
so much as a catalogue itself, but as material for an elaborate and worthy one.
The cost of procuring the necessary fonts of type was too great to permit typo-
graphic printing, but lithography solved the difficulty. The copy went to
press in 1854, and when printing was just begun the compiler, Frederick Otto
Louis Roehrig, saw fit to abandon the work, leaving continuation and com-
pletion to Cogswell, who was not able to sign the preface until June, 1855.

He hoped next to take up the department of industrial art, but as work
went on it was deemed best to do no further printing until the whole index
had been more uniformly whipped into shape.

It may perhaps be best to follow to a conclusion the growth of the printed
catalogue without strict chronological reference to other phases of library
activities. By the end of 1855 Cogswell was able to report that the catalogue

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 627

was finished, excepting only a small portion of history; the collection was
grouped into fourteen leading departments, for each of which a separate cata-
logue was prepared, the whole filling thirty-two manuscript volumes. The
alphabetical index to these separate catalogues formed the basis of the printed
catalogue issued during 1857-1861. In this form and at this time it appeared
against Cogswell's judgment but in accordance with the natural desires of the
trustees to put before the public some tangible result of their work.

His note to Ticknor of November 1, 1857, sets forth in an interesting way
the divergence between his own ideals and the course he was forced to take:

"I began the Catalogue against my own judgment of the expediency
of the measure. . . Now all agree that it was premature. Mr. Astor was
the only one who had independence enough to speak out, he said it would
be better to postpone it, — he knowing what he intended to do in the way
of furnishing the means for increasing the library. When it was begun
there was not a page in MS., we had no Catalogue but the slip one, and ever
since I have been at work, like the leader of a gang of mowers, sure to have
my heels cut off if I did not keep ahead. Now the work has been done in
this way. I took the slip Catalogue, and examined it in the order of the alpha-
bet, as expeditiously as I could, and finding at least three-quarters of the
titles wrong in some respect, I had to correct or write over a good part of
it, and never without the book before me, unless the title was as familiar to
me as the first chapter of Genesis. The slips were then handed to a copyist
who knows nothing whatever about books, and not a word of any language
but English... With the exception of the machine which undertakes to
transcribe the MS. for the printer, not a hand has been put to the work
except my own. The Library provides paper and pays the expense of print-
ing, but until the manuscript goes into the printer's hands all the cost of it
is my own. In justice to the Library I should say this is not demanded of
me, it is my choice . . . We have so many books coming in every day, I have
preferred to hold back, and extend the matter of the Catalogue by a full
analysis of all collected works, rather than complete, in ever so great dispatch,
a mere list of the old skeleton library."

This careful preparation of copy enabled the actual work of printing to
be done rapidly; the first part went to press late in 1856 and by the end of
1857 the first two volumes, of 500 pages each, comprising letters A to L inclu-
sive; were run off. Two gifts of money from W. B. Astor, $5,000 in 1857 and
$4,200 in 1858, provided means for increasing the collection by over 10,000
volumes, and these accessions necessitated suspension of printing until 1859
in which year the third volume (M-P) was finished. Removal into the addi-
tion to the library put up in 1856-1859 by W. B. Astor delayed further work
in 1859. and absence of Cogswell in Europe during 1860 operated as a further

delay. On his return, work went on quickly and in September, 1861, the
fourth and final volume (Q-Z) was completed.'

His preface to volume 1, dated 1857, explained that the author index
was to form part one of the entire catalogue, part two being reserved for
the subject index planned to follow, in bulk to be about as large as part one,
that is to fill about four volumes each of about five hundred royal octavo
pages. This second part was never printed as he planned it, indeed never
printed at all. A substitute was provided in the subject-index to the supple-
ment of 1866, but this was by no means the elaborate subject catalogue his
mind had pictured. It is highly improbable that a subject index to the whole
collection will ever be printed or indeed would be advisable. Cogswell's idea
of independently printed classed catalogues of various departments was at
length reahzed when The New York Public Library began printing in its
monthly Bulletin lists of books on its shelves relating to various subjects,
but a printed catalogue of the whole, indexing authors and subjects, waits
for a new time of vastly cheapened and vastly quickened typographic art.

At the time this first catalogue was completed the library contained about
115,000 volumes; the catalogue itself comprised 2,110 royal octavo pages;
the edition consisted of 1,000 copies, run off at a total cost of $5,218.91, the
cost per volume being $1.30, or $2.47 per page.

Though forced against his better judgment to print first an alphabetical
index of authors, Cogswell did not give up his project of a guide to the col-
lection by subjects. At their meeting on Wednesday, November 5, 1862, the
Trustees voted that an additional volume of the catalogue be prepared, to
contain the titles of books that had been added since the first one was issued,
and a raisonne of the whole, and that Cogswell be requested to prepare it.
In the meantime, however, ill health and advancing age had forced Cogswell
to resign as Superintendent, On May 27, 1863, he wrote to Ticknor from
Bordentown, N. J., where he was visiting: "I have been reflecting seriously
upon what I ought to do with regard to the Catalogue. My conclusion is that
it is expedient for me to finish the alphabet of supplement, first, because it is
only completing the record of what was done by me in forming the Library,
and next, because I am now so far on with it that I am unwilling to abandon
the undertaking, if my health is sufficient for the work. , , I have concluded
to spend the month of June in New York, which will enable me to get quite,
or very nearly through with the preparation of the Supplemental Volume;
and when I am through with that I shall be content to stop, and I know myself

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 629

well enough to know that I should never be satisfied with anything short of it,
if want of health and strength did not compel me to stop" — this from a man
seventy-six years old.

Preparation of copy for his supplemental volume required more time
than that month of June he had fondly hoped to be sufficient. Part of the
time in New York, part in Cambridge. Massachusetts, he worked on it for
the remainder of that year, during the whole of 1864, and well into 1865,
writing to Ticknor September 4 of the latter year:

"I was counting upon having an idle month of August, and loafing it
all away among friends on the North river, instead of which I kept here hard
at work, resolved that I would not stop, until I had accomplished so much
of my task as must be done here in the Library. This was not done until
the evening of Saturday, September 2d, and now I have only to make a copy
for printing from the slips and the tedious job will be off my hands, which
has required four times as much time and labor as I had anticipated. . . I
have not had an hour's respite since July 5, and. during August, when I was
left alone in the hbrary (the building being closed for its customary cleaning],

1 worked regularly from fourteen to fifteen hours every day."

War times interfered with all civil employments and made it difficult
to secure satisfactory paper stock or competent compositors. Not until 1866
was the volume finally set up and run off,' some 605 pages uniform in size
with the first catalogue, the first 444 being taken up with the alphabetical
list of books added since the first printing, and pages 447-605 consisting
of a double column alphabetical index in brevier type referring to authors
or titles noted in the main catalogue or in the supplement. A characteristic
preface sets forth his views of the importance of a subject Index and explains
why he chose an alphabetical arrangement instead of a classified grouping
after some such analytical exposition of the operations of the human mind
as had been drawn up by Brunet, Jefferson, or Schleiermacher. The cost of
printing was $2,005.62, about $3.31 per page.

Returning now to the library as it stood in 1855, it will be recalled that
the building had been planned to hold about 100,000 volumes; its shelving
amounted to between twelve and thirteen thousand running feet, which left
no room for growth — apparently a natural, almost a chronic state of all
libraries, seared into the souls of all librarians. Relief in this case came in
the announcement on October 31, 1855, of a deed of gift from W. B. Astor
of the three lots of land immediately to the north of the building, eighty feet

front and one hundred and twenty feet deep, bought by him for the library
at a cost of $30,475. On this plot he offered to erect an addition, or rather
an extension of the original building.

Work on the extension began at once, the foundations being laid by the
end of 1856 with superstructure above the street level; another year was
required to finish the walls and roof, another for the interior fittings and
furnishings, and the summer of 1859 for removal and rearrangement of books.
The new building was opened to the public on September 1, 1859, the south
hall being devoted to science and the industrial arts, the north hall to history
and literature; the whole number of volumes in the library was estimated
at about 110,000. By this rearrangement a section of shelving was devoted
to works most needed for reference, encyclopedias and dictionaries of various
sorts, access to which was given to readers free on application to the librarians.

Statistics of readers and of volumes consulted by them were kept in
1854, when it was estimated that 30,000 volumes were consulted from February
to December. The practice of recording such statistics seems to have been
given up until 1859 when a record for July - December showed 30,000 volumes
consulted, the average daily use being 210, or about 6,000 per month. In addi-
tion to this should be added those used by readers allowed the privilege
of consulting books in the alcoves, of which use no accurate record was kept.
During the eleven months the library was open in 1860 volumes consulted
amounted to 59,516. The detailed analysis of these figures offers an interesting
insight into the tastes of readers of the day — British literature afforded
9,942 volumes. Theology 3,548, American history 3,481, jurisprudence 3,257,
medicine and surgery 2,742; the other departments with more than 1,000
volumes to their credit being (in order) British history, American literature,
classical literature, natural history, Italian literature, archeology, French
literature, philology, chemistry and physics, painting, patents and inventions,
German literature, commerce, orientalia, French history, voyages and travels.

"Washington Irving, president of the board of trustees, died at Sunnyside,
November 28, 1859; he was succeeded as president by W. B, Astor, and as
a trustee by Dr. Wolcott Gibbs, professor of chemistry and physics in the
(then) Free Academy.

Cogswell passed his seventy-fifth birthday in September, 1861, and this
year saw also the completion of the author catalogue of the library. Failing
health caused him to offer his resignation as superintendent on November 6,
1861. It was accepted at the next meeting of the board, December 4, when
Francis Schroeder, former pupil of his at Round Hill and American minister
to Sweden in 1850, was appointed in his place. The former superintendent

still retained his place as trustee. In 1862 W. B. Astor established an annuity
fund of $5,000, yielding $300, payable to Cogswell in return for the biblio-
graphical collection he had presented to the Library. In 1864 he left New
York to make his home in Cambridge, taking with him the copy for the supple-
mentary volume of catalogue and analytical index on which he was working.
His resignation as trustee was accepted on November 30 of that year, when
the board entered on their minutes the following expression of their apprecia-
tion of his services,

"A communication having been received^by the President from Joseph G.
Cogswell, LL.D,, former Superintendent of the Library, resigning his office
as Trustee, in consequence of his removal from the State of New York, the
committee appointed to consider and report the steps proper to be taken by
the Board, submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:

"Resolved, That the Trustees of the Astor Library deem it due to their
late associate, and to the history of letters in America, to testify not only
their sincere regret in losing the benefit of his counsel and co-operation in
the management of their trust, but their high appreciation of his valuable
and long continued services to the Institution from its origin, reaching back
to his early intercourse with the late Mr, Astor, the honored founder of the
Library, as his confidential friend and advisor.

"Throughout this period, embracing nearly twenty years. Doctor Cogswell
has faithfully devoted to the Library the unremitting efforts of his well
directed and spotless life, exhibiting a singular union of learning and ability,
of efficiency and discretion, of modesty and taste, of energy, industry and
disinterestedness, abundantly manifested in the Library itself the fruit of
his untiring labors and a lasting evidence of the rare and varied qualifications
he so happily combines,

"Without attempting fully to recount or record the services which have
enduringly connected his name with the Institution, the Trustees would par-
ticularly acknowledge his eminent ability and varied Bibliographical learning
in preparing the 'Preliminary Index' of Ijooks needed for a library of moderate
extent in its early stages; a work which must materially facilitate the forma-
tion of other libraries throughout our country. They would further attest
their appreciation of his activity, economy and business faculty, enabling him
to purchase books at rates so advantageous as to carry the Library, without
exceeding the original endowment, far beyond the limits of the Preliminary
Index, Especially would they acknowledge his arduous and self-devoting
labors in preparing and perfecting the 'Alphabetical Catalogue' of the existing
Library, and his unwearied care in supervising its accurate publication, and
above all, his important and highly valued services in arranging the 'Analytical
Catalogue,' now approaching its completion.

"To this brief and imperfect outline of the official labors of Doctor Cogs-
well, the Trustees would affectionately add the expression of the pleasure

which all of them have uniformly experienced in the genial and kindly inter-
course of so many years with the associate and friend with whom they now
part with so much reluctance, and of their heartfelt wishes for his continued
health and happiness."

The vacancy in the board caused by his resignation was filled by election
of William Jones Hoppin, art critic, editor of the Bulletin of the American
Art Union, later secretary of the American legation at London.

The civil war affected the library not only by delaying printing of the
supplement to the catalogue buj also by raising the price of exchanges to
such a level as almost wholly to cut off book purchases from Europe; little
more could be attempted than to keep up the files of current foreign periodi-
cals and to follow at a distance the current domestic book output. Purchases
in 1860 amounted to 6,000 volumes; in 1861 they are not recorded; in 1862
they amounted to 500 volumes, in 1863 to 1,150, in 1864 to 367, in 1865 to 587.
Expenditures for books in these years were: $13,328.16 in 1860, $8,616.57
in 1861, $2,726.78 in 1862, $3,255.59 in 1863. $5,969.11 in 1864, $3,375.53
in 1865. The current reports for these years state that the number of readers
and of volumes consulted remained at about their usual figures, which were
probably about 20,000 readers and 40,000 volumes consulted; "an increasing
interest in it |has| been shown by the great increase in the numbers of its casual
visitors."

Another gift from W. B. Astor marked the year 1866 — $50,000, of
which $20,000 was to be used for purchase of books, the remainder for the
general funds of the library; this gift brought the sum total presented by
him thus far to $300,000, not to mention the installation of a new system of
heating apparatus in 1867 for which he paid $6,545.74. Of the $700,000
received from the Astors, father and son (increased about two per cent, by
investments, etc.) $283,324.98 had been expended for site, building, and equip-
ment; $203,012.38 for books, binding, freight, etc, leaving an endowment
fund of $229,000. The income in 1866 was $11,664.31, expenses $8,975.31.

In their report for 1868 the trustees gave a summary of the progress
of their trust in the twenty years it had been in their charge. After reference
to the fact that of the ten trustees named in the will of the founder but two,
W. B. Astor, president, and Samuel B. Ruggles, secretary, then remained,
death having taken away most of the others, the report goes on to state:

"It will appear by the report of the treasurer not only that all the purposes
thus proposed by the founder of the library have been fully carried out, but
that the funds and property in the hands of the trustees, under each of the
heads above mentioned, have been largely increased:

•HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 633

"1st. The sum of $100,000 appropriated for the library edifice and its
site, has been increased to $257,631,85. The site designated in the codicils
contained 65 feet front on Lafayette place by 120 feet in depth. The site
actually occupied contains 130 feet front by 120 feet deep, while the edifice
has been doubled in dimensions.

"2d. In place of $120,000 appropriated for the purchase of books, the
trustees have actually expended, up to the 31st of December last, $240,864.15,
including $7,224.53 for printing the catalogues. It was originally supposed
that the library might contain fifty thousand volumes. The number of volumes
now on the shelves is stated by the superintendent to be 137,533, of which
2,300 have been obtained in the year 1868. The singular ability, industry
and economy with which Dr. Joseph G. Cogswell, the first superintendent of
the library, selected and purchased the larger part of the books which it now
contains, has been specially noticed in former reports by the trustees to the
Legislature.

"3d. The principal of the fund ($180,000), appropriated for the main-
taining and gradually increasing the library, has been kept duly invested as
directed by the founder, while $35,898.35 of principal has been added to the
amount, making the whole $215,898.35.

"4th. The trustees have expended $25,499.69 in equiping the library
with its necessary shelving and furniture, and $6,545.74 in addition has been
expended in steam apparatus for warming the building.

"The aggregate of the amounts stated under the four pre-
ceding heads is -------- - $736,439.73

"The surplus yearly income from the principal fund de-
voted to maintaining and increasing the library since
it came to the hands of the trustees, after deducting
the yearly expense in maintaining the library, has been

"Original appropriation as above ------ 400,000.00

apart from any increase in the value of the library edifice and site, and of
the books beyond their actual cost . . .

"The current yearly expenses, including the salaries of the superinten-
dent and librarians, with the necessary fuel and repairs, with Croton water
rent, and other contingencies, have so far increased with the general advance
of prices that the net yearly income of the fund for maintaining and increas-
ing the library amounted for the year 1868 only to $2,180.83."

The second period of the library's life may now be said to have com-
menced. Those who had been most intimately connected with its founding
had nearly all died. The aggressive vigor of youth gave place to the quiet
insistent industry of maturity. The character of the collection was fixed

and was known throughout the country. Indicative of its place in the mind
of New York was the fact that it had been held one of the things the Prince
of Wales must visit when he was in the city; indicative of its place in the
mind of the country was the fact that it was selected as depository of the
papers and records of the United States Sanitary Commission when that
organization dissolved some few years later. From now on its annals are
a record of growth, of gifts, of usefulness, less picturesque and varied than
for the first twenty years, but none the less beneficial,

Cogswell had hoped to secure for the first-book treasures the first printed
Bible, the first printed edition of Homer, the first folio of Shakespeare; he
secured two, but failed to get the Gutenberg Bible. To this group may very
properly be added in an American library the letter of Columbus announcing
the discovery of America, In 1872 William Waldorf Astor secured from
Quaritch (who priced it in his catalogue at £140) a copy of Stephen Plannck's
thirty-three line edition of the letter in Latin — not the first edition, to be
sure, but an early one. What is presumably the first edition, {in Spanish) came
to this country twenty years later when the Lenox Library added it to its
treasures.

Gifts from the president of the trustees, William B. Astor, came from
time to time. In 1873 he presented a large and miscellaneous collection by
which many deficiencies were filled, making besides a gift of money to supply
items lacking in the classical and philological departments. Thus about 600
volumes, mainly classical authors in the Teubner editions with the neces-
sary critical apparatus, were added. From him in 1874 came the fourth
edition of Vergil printed in folio by Anthony Koburger at Niirnberg in 1492,
and in the same year came from Dr. Austin Flint, jr., the first edition of
Harvey's "Exercitatio anatomica de motu cordis et sanguinis in animalibus"
(Frankfurt, 1628,4°).

Cogswell had resigned as superintendent on November 6, 1861. His
resignation was accepted on the 4th of December following, when Francis
Schroeder was appointed to succeed him. Schroeder served ably and accept-
ably for ten years. Then he offered his resignation which was accepted on
June 7, 1871, when the board entered on their minutes their regrets at losing
him. As his successor the board appointed Dr. Edward R, Straznicky, The
latter, then 51 years old, born in Moravia, had fled from Austria after the
defeat of the Hungarian nationalist army and, after residence in England
and in Philadelphia, had been employed in the library since 1859.

In this connection the following extract from a letter dated April 24,
1871, from Cogswell, then in his eighty-fourth year, to Mrs. Mailliard, may
not be wholly without interest:

"Soon after my last to you Mr. Schroeder sent in his resigation to the
Trustees of the Astor Library, and I was requested to look up a successor
for them. This has brought so wide a correspondence upon me, that I have
had to write thirty letters, either in answer to applicants for office, or to inquire
of others whom I considered eligible for it, if they would accept provided I
could obtain it for them."

The year 1871 was marked further by the death of Cogswell, in Cam-
bridge, on November 26. At the meeting of the trustees on the 6th of
December following William J. Hoppin, Alexander Hamilton, and Samuel B.
Ruggles were appointed to draw up a suitable minute to be entered on the
records of the board. Their report, presented on January 10. 1872, was as
follows:

"The trustees of the Astor Library, on the resignation on the 30th of
November, 1864, by Joseph G. Cogswell, LL.D., the first superintendent of
the library, of his office as trustee, had the grateful privilege of recording
their acknowledgment of the constancy with which, for nearly twenty years,
he had devoted to this institution the unremitting efforts of his well directed
and spotless life. They took occasion to indicate his great ability in com-
posing the 'Preliminary Index of Books needed for a Library'; his extraor-
dinary judgment and economy in purchasing their own collection, and the
diligence and extensive bibliographical knowledge he had displayed in pre-
paring the 'Alphabetical Catalogue.' They added to this their sincere regret
in losing the benefit of his counsel and co-operation in the management of
their trust, and their heartfelt wishes for his continued health and happiness.

"The trustees have now, seven years after thus taking leave of Dr. Cogs-
well, as an active colleague, heard of his decease at Cambridge, in the State
of Massachusetts, on the 26th day of November last, and they desire to record
anew their affectionate admiration of his character and sorrow for his loss.

"For the whole period between the removal of Dr. Cogswell from New
York to the date of his lamented death, he continued to take a lively interest
in the affairs of the library. He was able to complete, not long after his
retirement, the 'Analytical Catalogue,' upon which he was engaged at that
time. This book, if it had been produced by a mature and vigorous scholar,
at the most robust period of his life, would have been a remarkable proof
of knowledge and practical skill; but as the work of an octogenarian, embar-
rassed by bodily infirmities, it may be considere<i a literary curiosity, as well
as the most valuable American contribution to the department to which it
belongs.

"Dr. Cogswell did not confine himself to these more quiet labors in
behalf of the library, but frequently gave to the trustees the benefit of his

active help and his wise counsels whenever they were solicited; and this,
always with great delicacy and disinterestedness. There was something singu-
larly touching in his devotion, at an age when such sentiments usually become
feeble and silent, to an institution remote from his residence, and with which
he had scarcely any ties except those of memory,

"The trustees will not attempt, in this brief entry in their minutes to
expatiate upon those numerous excellent traits in the character of their former
colleague, of which his biographer might find abundant proofs and illustra-
tions. They will only permit themselves to mention his simple and unaffected
kindliness of manner, the gracious urbanity with which he discharged all
his official duties, his loyalty as a friend, his fresh and genial impulses, which
overcame all the sluggishness of age, his fidelity and affectionate considerate-
ness as a teacher, his absolute freedom from literary and personal ambition,
and his unstained integrity and purity of life.

"The recollection of these excellences will make his memory forever
dear to all who had the privilege of knowing him, and particularly to those
who have been associated with him in the care of an institution which was
the center of his hopes and the dearest object of his labors."

Events of the few next succeeding years have been partially summarized
above, and little need be added but to call attention to constantly increasing
use made of the Hbrary as indicated in the statistical tables. Volumes con-
sulted had increased from 59,516 in 1860 to 135,065 in 1875, that is 129 per
cent., the population of the city increasing from 814,254 in 1860 to 988,618 in
1875, that is 22 per cent.

The death of W. B. Astor on November 24, 1875 was officially announced
to the board at their meeting on December 9 following, by the senior member
of the board, Samuel B. Ruggles, who moved that John A, Dix and William J.
Hoppin be appointed a committee to draw up suitable resolutions. The
minute adopted by the board at its next meeting was as follows:

"The lamented death of William B. Astor, on the 24th day of Novem-
ber last, enables the trustees to discharge a duty which their regard for his
wishes prevented them from performing in his lifetime, and that is to express
in an official form their deep respect for his character and gratitude for his
services. Such was his singular modesty and his unaffected dislike of what-
ever might possibly be considered to savor of ostentation, that his colleagues
frequently refrained from making even those customary and formal acknowl-
edgments of benefactions which, under other circumstances, would have been
proper.

"Mr. Astor was the second private individual named as a trustee in the
will of the founder of the library. The first was Mr. Washington Irving,
whom he succeeded as president in the year 1860. He has discharged the

duties of that office ever since, and in a manner which endeared him to all
his colleagues. They remember with peculiar pleasure his courteous manner,
his excellent judgment, and his wise hesitation in adopting any novel oi
untried experiment. His punctuality was remarkable. He was always the
earliest one to appear at the board, and nothing but grave illness prevented
his attendance. So late as the 10th of November last, only a fortnight before
his death, neither the excessive inclemency of the weather nor the demand
for indulgence which his eighty years of age might have suggested, hindered
him from presiding at our meeting.

"He was as constant and regular in his gifts to the library as he was
in the performance of his official duties. He began to bestow them at its
organization and he continued them until the day of his death. His filial
reverence, which was one of his conspicuous traits, undoubtedly prompted
him to extend the work which his father had so auspiciously commenced.

"But his own love of letters, and his knowledge of the wants of American
scholars were also active agents in inducing him to increase the resources of
our institution, and to place it in the way of becoming at some future day
one of the great libraries of the world. Nobody knew better than himself
that it is not yet entitled to that rank, but he had a just appreciation of its
peculiar merits, and he believed that after a certain point had been attained,
a slow and steady growth, contemporaneous with the demands which should
be made upon it from day to day, was more wholesome and useful than any
sudden or extraordinary additions. His gi fts. therefore, were not only liberal,
but they were timely and judicious. It seems proper to enumerate them in
this minute, both in justice to his memory and as important facts in the history
of the hbrary.

"Before the first building was completed, he added a considerable sum
to the fund to make it fireproof. Shortly afterward he placed more than fifteen
thousand dollars at the disposal of Mr. Cogswell to buy books for a techno-
logical department. In 1855 he conveyed to the trustees three parcels of land
adjoining the original building, and erected thereon a new structure in harmony
with, but of greater capacity than the other, at a cost of upwards of one hundred
and fifty-six thousand dollars. In 1857 he contrilnited five thousand dollars,
and in 1860 six thousand dollars for books. In 1862 he established an annuity
for the purchase of Dr. Cogswell's bibliographical collection, and in 1866 he
made a further donation of fifty thousand dollars for the general purposes
of the instftution. In addition to these gifts, there were others of money
and books which are not sjwcified in the treasurer's account, but which, as
stated in the trustees' report of 1867, had made the total of his donations to
that date more than three hundred thousand dollars. In that same year he
paid between six and seven thousand dollars for a steam heating apparatus,
and since then five thousand dollars for additions to the Classical Department.

"The simple statement of these contributions without any elalmrate pane-
gyric, is sufficient to show the magnitude of the debt which the lovers of
learning throughout the country owe to Mr. Astor.

"The trustees cannot deny themselves the pleasure of joining to this
record of his public service an acknowledgment of the gratification which his
personal relations with them have afforded. Mr. Astor had excellent natural
abilities, which were carefully cultivated by study and observation. He had
the advantage in early youth of the instruction and companionship of Bunsen,
afterward the distinguished scholar and diplomatist. He followed the regular
courses at Gottingen and his note-books of lectures, which he had written
out in German and which have been accidently preserved, discover a self-
denying industry seldom shown by young men in his position. The pleasant
impression he left in those academic circles was long remembered, and many
years afterward was mentioned to a friend and colleague who was visiting
Gottingen. Mr. Astor was a good linguist, and thus was able to improve
his privilege of mingling in the refined society of several European capitals
in the early part of the present century. He had considerable powers of
observation and a retentive memory, and his descriptions of Madame De Stael
and other celebrated personages he had met were interesting and instructive.

"After his return to America, he cultivated the acquaintance of leading
men in professional, literary and artistic life, and he was always among the
first to receive distinguished visitors from abroad. His hospitality was dis-
criminating as well as generous, and his entertainments were remarkable not
only for their taste and elegance, but also for that which was far more grate-
ful to his guests, an intelligent recognition of each one's particular claims to
attention. He was a skillful judge of character, and sometimes seasoned his
conversation with a trace of humor which surprised those who had chiefly
known him in his connection with affairs. He constantly read the best books
and was particularly interested in the letters and biographies of celebrated
men, upon which his comments were discriminating, although he disliked so
much to appear to make a parade of learning that it was only by some happy
accident that his large information upon these and kindred topics could be
ascertained. His manners were simple and cordial, and in his courtesy to
women and young people, he recalled the best days of the old school. The
quiet kindliness with which he greeted his friends, without any undue demon-
stration by word or gesture, was peculiarly grateful. If it was calm and
unaffected, it was also invariable, and was never chilled by advancing age
or illness, or the pre-occupation of affairs. His politeness was not a varnish.
It was something inherent in the grain, which all the rubbing of a long, and
in some respects, an anxious life, only made to shine more brightly. It seems
to be descending somewhat from the dignity of the subject to add that with
such refined tastes and natural kindliness of heart, Mr. Astor never, by any
possibility, gave the impression in his manners or conversation that he was
the possessor of large wealth. But this extraordinary absence of every species
of ostentation was so striking a feature of his character, that any sketch of
him, however hasty, would be incomplete without noticing it.

"In concluding this imjierfect memorial of Mr. Astor, the trustees may
be permitted to say that his home was gladdened and adorned by a long and

happy union with one whose tastes, manners and sensibilities were singularly
akin to his own. These relations as well as those connected with religious
duty, are too intimate and sacred to be enlarged upon here. It is sufficient to
state that they who knew him best in those regards found abundant reasons
for a love and a respect which grew purer and stronger with advancing
years."

By his will Mr. Astor bequeathed to the library two hundred and forty-
nine thousand dollars, of which sum forty-nine thousand dollars represented
the remainder of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars he had planned to
add to the endowment after deducting the value of his gifts made during his
lifetime, and two hundred thousand dollars comprised a bequest additional
to the two hundred and fifty thousand; the later bequest was payable in three
equal successive annual installments, the first to be paid at the expiration of
one year from his death, the whole to be kept as capital or permanent fund,
except that not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars might be spent for
books. His executors anticipated by two years the payment of the bequest,
the last installment of the sum total being made in November, 1876, less than
a year after the death of the testator. Besides this bequest from W. B. Astor,
the library received from John Jacob Astor in February, 1876, the sum of
$10,000 for the purchase of books.

He was succeeded as trustee in February, 1876, by Alexander Hamilton,
who had been elected a trustee in 1868 but had resigned in 1873 because of
absence in Europe. At the meeting of the board in April following, on motion
of the two senior members, Ruggles and Dix, Hamilton was chosen president.
Ruggles felt called upon to resign his position as secretary, which he had
held from the organization of the board in 1849, on account of ill health, and
was succeeded by William J. Hoppin. The latter, after a few months' service,
resigned to take the post of first secretary at the American legation in London.
Daniel D. Lord was then chosen temporarily as secretary, the appointment
being made permanent in the following year. Professor Henry Drisler of
Columbia College succeeded Hoppin as trustee. Dr. Straznicky, superintend-
ent, died February 9, 1876, and on March 8 following, J. Carson Brevoort
(a trustee) was chosen to fill the vacancy.

By this time the maintenance fund had increased from the $180,000 of
1854 to $410,000; the amount expended for books from $105,979.11 to
$297,714.57, the numl>er of volumes from 80,000 to 165,854; the number of
readers from about 16,000 to 47,853, of volumes consulted from about 30,000
to 143,545.

In this year 1876 a beginning was made on a public card catalogue. For
books purchased since 1866 there was available for the public no index of sub-
jects other than the knowledge possessed by the librarians as to the books
on the shelves. The official catalogue, supplementary to the printed volumes,
had been an index by authors, written on interleaved copies of the printed
catalogues. Readers filled out cards for books wanted, then handed them
to the attendants, who examined the catalogues to learn whether they were
in the library and if so to find their location. Under the new arrangement
these supplementary entries were copied on cards about 5 by 3 inches in size,
the report for 1876 stating (page 9) "eight thousand title and cross-reference
cards have been prepared in continuation of the printed catalogue of the late
Dr. Cogswell, which ends in 1866, These have been duplicated for the interior
service of the library."

The library had been founded as a general reference library, and Dr.
Cogswell and his successors had uniformly attempted to secure for it books
of first importance in every department of human knowledge. At the end
of 1877 it had on its shelves 177,387 volumes, well distributed among all
departments; extensive increases in any department meant crossing the line
that separated the needs of the general student from those of the specialist.
It was now time to consider which departments might most wisely be extended.
Mr. Brevoort in his report for 1877 brought up the question by stating that:
"It collects works in every branch of human knowledge, and the additions
had to be apportioned with a view to acquiring such works as seemed to be
more urgently needed in each of them. As there are, however, several libra-
ries in the city especially devoted to the departments of theology, jurisprudence,
medicine, natural history and geography, I have considered it advisable to
direct the chief expenditure towards the completion of other important sub-
jects. Among these may be mentioned philosophy, sociology, technology and
the useful arts, history, archaeology and linguistics, the fine arts, numismatics
and bibliography." This did not mean, of course, that purchases in the first
named groups would cease, but it did mean that within those groups the library
would attempt to acquire only works necessary for the general reader, that
in the latter groups the specialist as well as the general reader would be
provided for.

In February, 1878, Mr. Brevoort resigned his position as superintendent,
being unable to give to the library the full service of his time without injuring
his own affairs. His successor, Robbins Little, was appointed in April fol-
lowing. Mr. Little was a graduate of Yale (1851), where he also took his
Master's degree. After a course in the Harvard Law School he practised in

New York, heid a position as instructor in international law at the United
States naval academy at Annapolis, and later served as examiner of claims in
the war department at Washington. He retained his position as superintendent
until 1896, aftef consolidation; in 1883 he was chosen a trustee of the library,
to succeed WilHam Waldorf Astor.' Mr. Brevoort resigned as trustee in Sep-
tember, 1878, being succeeded by Clarence King.

A gift of $10,000 this year from John Jacob Astor made possible impor-
tant accessions in the departments of American history and oriental litera-
ture, 3,516 volumes being purchased during the twelve-month. In addition
to these, some 2,342 volumes were received by gift, the more important being
six manuscript volumes (Epistolae Apostolicae, in Greek, of the eleventh cen-
tury, from the library of the Duke of Sussex; De Disciplina et Perfectione Mon-
astice Conversationis, illuminated, on vellum, of about 1350; the Vulgate.
probably English work of the fourteenth century; Boethius' De Consolatione
Philosophise, of the fifteenth century; Aristotle's De Virtutibus et Vitiis, in
Greek and Latin, early fifteenth century; and Claudianus's De Raptu Proser-
pinse, of the Italian renaissance) and two handsome specimens of early print-
ing — Gutenberg's Catholicon of 1460 and Gunther Zainer's Bible printed at
,\ugsburg in 1477, the first German Bible printed with a date — all given by
John Jacob Astor; the fourth folio Shakespeare given by Alexander Hamil-
ton, Rymer's Foedera by Charles O'Conor, Richard Owen's Researches on the
Fossil Remains of the Mammals of Australia by William Astor, and a com-
plete set of the publications of the United States Hydrographic Office from
the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Department.

That the library was considered something more than a local institution
was evinced this year when the United States Sanitary Commission, having
completed its task, turned over for safe keeping its archives, consisting of all
its correspondence, reports, account books, hospital directories, printed reports,
histories, maps and charts, claims of some 51,000 soldiers and sailors investi-
gated by it, miscellaneous papers, etc. The library promised that they be pre-
served and be at all times accessible to the public.

In October, 1878, was begun the publication of an author list of "Recent
accessions to the Astor Library," printed quarterly until January, 1880, and
then semi-annually in January and July until July, 1885. About this same
time the library took part in the cooperative subject index to periodical litera-
ture edited by Dr. William F. Poole. Heretofore current serial publications
had not been available for readers until the volume was completed and bound;
but this policy was now changed by giving out current numbers for consulta-

tion, a list of titles received being printed in 1879. Binding of books and
periodicals had fallen somewhat into arrears of late; in 1878 vigorous steps
were taken to remedy this defect, 1,096 volumes being bound that year and
2,331 in 1879, of which latter number 1,000 were shipped for that purpose
to Henry Stevens in London.

Of the card catalogue Mr. Little remarked in his first report as superin-
tendent: "The card catalogue adopted of late years, for books acquired since
the last volume of the printed catalogue was published, continues to be of
much service to persons consulting the library. This sort of catalogue, though
overrated, perhaps, except for accessions, is coming into such general use
that publishers may soon find it worth while to print a few hundred title
cards with every work of permanent value. Such cards would serve at
once as an advertisement, a handy and precise order, and the means of putting
a book at once upon library shelves." His comment in his second report
{for 1879) was as follows: "The card catalogue continues to be kept up
by the sub-librarian, assisted by the curator of patents. The inventory or
author branch is threefold, one in each hall for the use of the officers, and
a third near the entrance for the use of the public. A title card is made
for every accession, and copied three times. A copy is put in each of the
author catalogues, and the original in the index or subject branch under the
head to which the book chiefly relates. The subject catalogue is open to
the public. Cross references are made where manifestly required, but nothing
like the elaborate index at Harvard college can be attempted at present. With-
out reference to the question whether manuscript cards are the best permanent
form for a catalogue, there can be no doubt that in some form a good index
to a library, extending not only to books but to important parts of books,
doubles the practical value of the collection."

Various changes in the board of trustees took place in 1879. General
Dix died on April 21. and was succeeded by Henry Codman Potter; Walter
Langdon resigned because of an extended stay in Europe, and John L. Cad-
walader was chosen in his place; Clarence King accepted the post of Director
of the United States Geological Survey, which necessitated his removal to
Washington, Lewis Rutherfurd being his successor. Lord resigned his office
as secretary and Professor Drisler was chosen to fill the vacancy.

The first, or South, hail had been opened January 9, 1854, with 80,000
volumes on its shelves. The addition given by W. B. Astor and opened on
September 1, 1859, doubled the capacity of the library, but the hundred and
sixty thousand mark was passed in 1876, and at the end of twenty years
the library had become inconveniently crowded, as there were 189,1 14 volumes

on the shelves at the end of 1879. On December 5, 1879, John Jacob Astor
gave to the library the three lots of ground adjoining the northern side of
the library plot, seventy-five feet front and one hundred feet deep, on which
he put up a second addition to the building, sixty-five feet wide and covering
the full depth of the lot, of the same general style of architecture as the other
two halls. This gave a building of 195 feet front, with a capacity of nearly
four hundred thousand volumes. The wails and roof of the addition were
finished in 1880 and on October 10, 1881, tRe completed structure was opened
to the public, the library being closed the four months preceding to allow
the necessary moving and readjustment. The main entrance was moved from
the south to the middle hall, and a room for the trustees was constructed
in the place it had formerly occupied. An attic was added to the middle hall
and a double flight of steps leading to the new entrance. This entrance
opened upon a spacious hall, decorated with twenty-four marble busts from
the antique, presented by Mrs. Franklin H. Delano. A new staircase, rising
in a double flight to a central landing, led from this hall to the^ main floor of
the library. The catalogues stood at the head of the stairs to the east, and
beytmd them was placed the general delivery desk. This allowed the two
side reading rooms on the north and south to be set aside for readers alone,
each having seating capacity for sixty-four readers. Around the head of
the stairway in the middle hall stood glass showcases for the exhibition of
manuscripts, early printed books, and other literary rarities. The rearrange-
ment gave on the ground floor two rooms to the south of the entrance hall
for a picture gallery and a board room, one large room to the north of the
entrance hall, two in the rear for the storage of books, and threw the engineer's
quarters into the northeast corner of the building.

During 1879 the Japanese government presented a representation of their
national literature, embracing the standard works of poetry, fiction, geography,
history, religion, philology, together with an assortment of ornamental de-
signs; through Viscount Cranbrook, secretary for India in Beacons field's
cabinet, the library received a large collection of official publications relating
to India; New Zealand, New South Wales, Canada, Italy, France, Prussia
were moved also to make valuable contributions of documents and statistical
material. Such gifts as these and the Hepworth Dixon collection of English
civil war pamphlets, about five hundred in number, presented in 1880 by John
Jacob Astor, were obviously out of place in any institution but one for research,
and the superintendent feh called on to say in his report for 1880: "The
excellent public libraries that have grown up in many places (though not j'et
in New York) from the same impulse as the common school system, and sup-

ported in the same way, are from the nature of the case primarily popular.
Our college libraries are primarily for reference in connection with the ordi-
nary work of the college. Even the library of congress is primarily what its
name imports. But this library occupies a peculiarly independent position as
a library for general use without any such special character. In this respect
it has more resemblance to the national libraries of other countries, an im-
portant function of which is understood to be, to encourage high studies and
assist in the reform of superior instruction. Of course, for such purposes,
a library should present not only digested and long accepted results, but the
sciences in process of growth, and, as far as may be, the actual sources. As
this library becomes more complete, and is kept closer to the advance of intel-
ligence; its use in aid of research, which has always been considerable, will
naturally become more genera! and satisfactory." In this connection it may
be of interest to recall that as just at the time Cogswell in 1854 was stating
the impossibility of maintaining a free library in a city so populous as New
York his frietids in Boston were establishing a free circulating library in
that city, so in this year 1880. when Little was calling attention to the absence
of a popular library in New York, a sewing class teacher in Grace Church
parish was laying the foundations of what was later to become the New York
Free Circulating Library, eventually the circulation centre of the larger library
system of which the Astor library was to become a part.

It will probably be best here to take up the history of the Astor catalogue
and to follow it on until the time of consolidation without regard to its chron-
ological relation to other library matters. The first catalogue was issued in
the four years 1857-1861, and recorded approximately 1 15,000 volumes. The
supplement of 1866 recorded the accessions of five years, about 15,000 vol-
umes, and carried with it an index to subjects, imperfect, inadequate, unsatis-
factory — the work of a man eighty years of age, one of the earliest subject
indexes to a large collection of reference works produced in this country, at
first sight forcing from the reader an exclamation of protest and pity but
causing that same reader, the longer he examines and uses it, to modify his
first opinion and to admit that in spite of its imperfections it is the work
of a man who knew books and knew how to g^ide others to them.

Towards the end of the third decade of the existence of the library the
volumes on its shelves rapidly neared the 200,000 mark — passing that figure
in 1882 — and thus left nearly half the library unrecorded except in the shape
of brief entries noted in manuscript in interleaved copies of the Cogswell
catalogue, and the cards begun by Mr. Brevoort in 1876 — a state of affairs
as unsatisfactory to the trustees as to the public, though the former were

not as voluble in proclaiming their feelings as the latter, A new author
catalogue was decided on, to include titles of all works received since the
first catalogue was published, and to this work Mr. Charles Alexander Nel-
son was called in 1881. Mr, Nelson was a Harvard graduate of the class of
1860, fitted for this new task by service in the Harvard library and by a wide
experience in the Boston book trade.

Preliminary examination of the field quickly showed that the titles noted
in the Supplement of 1866 and in the interleaved copies of the main catalogue
and on cards were inadequate for a satisfactory catalogue worthy of the insti-
tution and of American librarianship of 1880, which meant that all titles in
the new catalogue must be made from the books themselves. It was not until
1884 that the contract for printing could be made, and the first batch of
copy be sent to the Riverside Press of Cambridge. A fuller quotation of
titles than in the first catalogue, a more extensive analysis of the contents of
collected or comprehensive works, and greater attention to securing full names
of authors were other elements of delay. The first volume ' was published
in April, 1886; it included entries from A through D, and consisted of 1,118
pages, the same section in the first catalogue running through 494 pages. For
later volumes of the new index it was thought best to shorten the entries
as much as possible, to which task Hon. John L. Cadwalader and Professor
I>risler, a special committee of the board of trustees, gave their personal atten-
tion, reading practically every slip that went to the printer.

Volume two (E-K) containing 956 pages appeared in the winter of
1886-7, the third (L-Q), 1,088 pages, in the autumn of 1887, and the
fourth and last, 1,114 pages, in the summer of 1888. As a catalogue and
as a printed book it was a thoroughly satisfactory piece of work, well deserv-
ing of the diploma of honorable mention awarded for it to Mr. Nelson in
1901 at the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo and the exposition held at
Charleston, S. C, the same year. The entire cost of printing was borne by
Mr. Astor and was given in the report of the trustees for 1888 as nearly
$40,000.

So much for the printed catalogues. The card catalogues present a
problem of greater complexity.

As has been stated before, Mr. Brevoort began, in 1876, a catalogue, on
cards, recording a part of the accessions received after 1866, one set of cards
for the use of the public and a duplicate set for official use. This was at
first mainly a subject or rather a broadly grouped classed catalogue; the cards

were about the size of the present standard card, that is about 5 inches long
by 3 inches high. For author entries reliance was made upon the interleaved
copies of the Cogswell printed catalogue and upon a set of author cards —
by no means a complete record — for pubhc use.

In 1880 when work began upon the new printed catalogue this card cata-
logue was closed; its author cards were destroyed when the new catalogue
was issued, but revision of the subject group continued as occasion offered
until after consolidation.

A new catalogue on cards of standard size was now begun, to include
works received after 1880. This was a catalogue for official use only; its cards
were arranged by authors, to provide a basis for a future printed catalogue
of books received after 1880, and additional cards for all important works
were filed with them until after consolidation. The alphabetical sequence of
authors was in a measure broken into by forming within the catalogue several
groups such as "French literature," "German literature," etc., each with its
own alphabetical arrangement; a further complication was introduced by the
practice of entering continuations of works noted in these smaller groups, not
with the first card (which was filed in one of these smaller groups) but in
the main alphabetical arrangement.

Besides this catalogue (the "Bulletin" as it was called, or continuation
catalogue — strictly an official record, be it remembered) there were two
other card catalogues recording works received since 1880, one for the public,
the other for official use. These catalogues were on cards about five inches
long by two inches high, the official cards being of thinner stock than those
for the public; the arrangement in each was of authors and subjects in one
alphabetical sequence.

These three card catalogues (I, the "Bulletin," on large cards, mainly
an author arrangement; 2, the public "small card" catalogue, a dictionary
catalogue of authors and subjects; 3. the official "small card" catalogue, like-
wise a dictionary arrangement of authors and subjects, but written on thinner
cards) were continued until after consolidation.

After consolidation, in 1896, the official catalogue — on standard size
cards — was confined to a record of authors alone; the public catalogue —
likewise of standard size cards, opened for use in April, 1897 — contained
a record of authors and subjects in one alphabetical sequence. But until this
time tlie reader had five catalogues to consult: (1) the printed catalogue of
Cogswell in four volumes; (2) the Supplement of 1866 in one volume; (3)
the printed index of subjects issued with the Supplement of 1866; (4) the sub-
ject catalogue on canls, indexing books received between 1866 and 1880; (5)

the "small card" catalogue of authors and subjects, for books received since
1880. Behind the desk there were for consultation catalogues corresponding
to numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5 just mentioned, and, in addition, the cards in the
"Bulletin" or continuation group.

This multiplicity of catalogues drew upon the library no little adverse
criticism of which the following samples may be not without interest. The
first appeared in the New York Times of Wednesday, June 8, 1881 (page 5,
column 5), under the heading "A Library's Buried Treasures."

"According to the last annual report the Astor Library contained 192,547
books, and the value of the collection is conceded by all who are familiar
with it. As a library of reference it is probably without a superior in the
country. But the value of such a collection depends much upon the facilities
offered for ascertaining what is contained in it. A library without a suitable
catalogue is a collection of buried treasures. The original catalogue of the
Astor Library, in four volumes, prepared by Dr. Cogswell, and issued in
1857-61, was a creditable work for its time, although it lacks many features
which are now deemed indispensable in a catalogue. But it shows honest and
faithful work, and the institution would be fortunate if the same care had
been taken in the additions that have been made to it. In 1866 an analytical
catalogue was issued as a fifth volume of the regular catalogue, together with
a supplementary alphabetical catalogue of the accessions to the library up
to that time. The work abounds in errors, and was evidently prepared by
unskillful and careless hands. The card catalogue of authors and of subjects,
which is a continuation of the supplementary catalogue, and which is supposed
to give the additions to the library from 1866 to the present time, is open to
severe criticism. Its imperfections are as annoying to the frequenter of the
library as some of its blunders in classification are ludicrous. It is amusing
for instance, to find Balzac's social satire "Physiologic du Mariage ou Medita-
tions de Philosophie Eclectique sur le Bonheur et la Malheur Conjugal,"
entered under Medicine in the subject catalogue, and to find the book itself
in the alcove devoted to that department, on the same shelf with manuals
of etherization and operative surgery, and treatises on phosphorus and club-
foot.

"But here Is an instance of a frequent type of imperfect cataloguing which
is less ridiculous but more annoying. The valuable and important papers of
Gay Lussac, Arago, Louis Dumas, Chevreul. and other eminent writers on
chemistry and physics, contained in the 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique,'
are catalogued merely as 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique continued to
1880.' No reference is made to the authors of the various papers, and no
account given of the different series extending from 1856 to 1880. A similar
preference of generalities to details is noticeable in scores of cases. The
card on which is written 'Annales des Sciences Naturelles; Zoologie continued
to 1880; Botanique continued to 1878,' is no guide to the contents of the 132
volumes thus concisely catalogue*!. Neither does the title 'Annales d'Hygiene

Publique continued to 1880,' throw much light upon the contents of the 54
volumes thereof published from 1856 to 1880. The same comprehensive
style is adopted in the case of certain mysterious pamphlets entered as 'New-
York City and State — Pamphlets relating to — in box marked "New York
City and State." ' This is a singular method of disposing of valuable contri-
butions of papers on important subjects, and the manner in which they relate
to the City or County of New- York is only to be ascertained by rummaging
through the entire miscellaneous collection. The reader who is accustomed
to the use of a catalogue that does not sacrifice everything to brevity will be
struck with the large number of cases in which the name of a collection, but
not of the compiler, is given at the Astor Library. Thus, Francois Guessard's
'Anciens Poetes de la France' is not catalogued under the compiler's name,
but merely as a collection. This, also, is the case in many instances with
authors and editors. No indication is given of the authorship of William
Bollan's 'Ancient Right of the English Nation to the American Fishery,' or
of George Stephens editorial connection with the Anglo-Saxon song of the
tenth or eleventh century, called the 'King of Birds.' (Antiq. Soc. Archao-
logia, 30.)

"A striking illustration of the degree of intelligence displayed in trans-
ferring the names from a title page to the catalogue may be seen in the
entering of Gustav Wustmann's 'Life and Works of Apelles,' among the
A's in the authors' card catalogue as 'Apelles' Leben und Werke von Gustav
Wustmann.' The visitor to the library who seeks for Napoleon Ill's 'Histoire
de Jules Caesar,' will not find it on the card catalogue of authors, although
both the French and the American editions of the work are upon the shelves.
But he will be astonished to discover a clue to some heretofore unknown
works by the same hand, to wit: Certain pamphlets given in the card catalogue
of authors as 'Napoleon III. — Brochures Politiques, Paris, v. y,, 7 vols.,
8vo.' Upon calling for these, and receipting for them at the Librarian's desk
as 'Napoleon Ill's Brochures,' the reader will be surprised at the contents
of the seven volumes. They are made up of a variety of political pamphlets,
about 100 in number, by different authors. These are specimens of the swarm
of pamphlets that came out in Paris during the second Empire, some of them
anonymous, and others by well-known hands. There are 'Affaires de Rome,'
by John Lemoinue; 'La Nouvelle Carte d'Europe,' by Edmond About; 'Gari-
baldi,' by Alexis La Messine; 'L'Excommunication,' by Hippolyte Castille;
'La Prusse en I860,' by Edmond About; 'Le Pape et le Congres'; 'Le Poli-
tique et le Droit Chretien,' and a variety of similar productions. Yet they
are set down as the works of Napoleon III., and are not to be found entered
under the names of their actual author. What would Mr, Winsor, or Mr.
Cutter, or Mr. Noyes, or Mr. Poole, what would Dr. Cogswell himself, say
to such cataloguing as this ?

"The public have no idea how completely books are buried in a great
library without the right sort of a catalogue. But the effects of the wretched
system, or want of system, which has prevailed at the Astor Library are

plainly seen by all who frequent it. The number of readers in three years
has decreased about 7,500. The number of alcove readers has increased
over 800, and it is probable that some of the readers, despairing of finding
what they seek by trusting to the catalogue, have taken this course, while
the majority have simply abandoned a seemingly hopeless task. If the blun-
ders that are so numerous in the cards which are accessible to the public are
to be perpetiuited in the printed catalogue now being prepared, the work
will be the laughing stock of all who examine it intelligently, and will afford
some striking instances of carelessness, ignorance and stupidity."

In September following the Boston Transcript printed similar criticism,
signed "Delta," and here taken from the reprint in the Library Journal,
volume 6 (1881), pages 259-261.

"About the time Dr. Cogswell left the library a new idea originated in
the brain of some librarian, and soon invaded all the libraries of the United
States, in the form of an epidemic disease. The new idea was a 'card cata-
logue' that should do away with the need of any printing whatever in the
form of library indexes. It is not necessary to describe a 'card catalogue,'
since every frequenter of any library in the country in which it is in use knows
to his sorrow exactly what it is, and that it has wasted more of his time in
the invention of becoming epithets in its condemnation than he has given
to the bocks consulted through its use. But the epidemic reached the Astor
Library in its most virulent form, judging from the vast pile of worse than
useless cards that form what is characterized as its 'subject catalogue.'

"These cards number from 30,000 to 50,000, alphabetically distributed
under the names of authors of books through some 50 subjects. The cards
seem to be duplicates of those in the 'Authors' Catalogue,' and as placed before
the public for use are of no practical value whatever. Under the heading
'History of New York,' there are as many as 1,500 cards; 'British History.'
400; 'Jurisprudence,' 500; 'Oriental History,' 400; 'In<lustrial Arts,' 200;
'Inscriptions and Numismatics,' 200; 'Theology — Historical, Practical and
Miscellaneous,' 1,800; 'Voyages and Travels,' 700; 'French Literature,' 1,200;
'American Literature,' 500.

"One may well inquire how, in a card catalogue, 1,200 cards could be
found under 'French Literature.' On examination it is seen that alt books
in the French language of a general nature, as well as many on special subjects,
are placed under this head. The 'Journal et lettres de Eugenie de Guerin,'
'Alfred le Grand, Pantomime en trois actes,' by M. Aumer; Le Sage's 'Gil
Bias'; 'Human Sadness,' an English version of a book by the Countess de
Gasparin; Lamartine's Memoirs, etc., are found under 'French Literature.'
So, too, are certain works of Voltaire, the cards to which may be cited as
illustrating the eccentric orthography prevailing in the card catalogue. One
of them reads 'Voltaire F, M. Arrouet. de; Voltariana, ou Eloges Amphigour-
iques'; and another, 'Valtaire, F. M, Aronet De; A Philosophical Dictionary.'

"English literature is treated in the same comprehensive manner. Such
works as Mrs. Grote's 'Personal Life of George Grote,' may be found under
that head, in common with 'The Adventures of Sig. Saudentio di Lucca; Being
the Substance of his Examination before the Fathers of the Inquisition at
Bologna, in Italy; Giving an Account of an Unknown Country in the Deserts
of Africa,' and a great variety of other books with equal claims to such an
entry,

"There is no end to the curiosities of classification to be found in the
subject catalogue. 'The Sutherlands,' by the author of 'Rutledge,' may be
looked for under the head of 'American Literature'; Richard Hildreth's 'Lives
of Judges Infamous as Tools of Tyrants,' under 'Jurisprudence'; Lloyd's 'Scan-
dinavian Adventures during a Residence of Upwards of Twenty Years,' under
'Sports'; and 'Bilder aus dem Schwedischen Volksleben' (Pictures from Swed-
ish Home Life) under 'Scandinavian History'; Paul Lacroix's 'The XVIIIth
Century, Its Institutions, Customs and Costumes,' is relegated to the depart-
ment of 'Costumes,' and Dieulafait's 'Diamants et Pierres Precieuses' may
be found under 'General Science,' while Lord's 'Historical Review of the
New York & Erie Railroad' is boldly classed under 'Engineering.' But the
finest stroke in the way of original classification is the placing of a Chinese
grammar — 'The Rudiments of the Chinese Language, with Dialogues, Exer-
cises and a Vocabulary,' by Rev. James Summers — under 'Oriental Philos-
ophy.' The cataloguer must be a kinsman of that ingenious person mentioned
in the 'Pickwick Papers,' who constructed a learned article on Chinese meta-
physics by reading up for metaphysics under the letter 'M' in the Encyclo-
pasdia Britannica, and for China under the letter 'C,' and combining the
information.

"The same wholesale business which is exemplified under 'French Litera-
ture' is carried on under other general headings, and is indicative of the chaos
into which one falls who attempts to find what he wants in the subject cata-
logue. And the catalogue is as far from being of practical use to the clerks
as it is to the readers. Ask a clerk in the Astor Library to give you a good
work on lime as a fertilizer, and he requests you to look under 'Chemistry,'
find your book and bring a note of its place in the library. After wading
through a multitude of cards, you report that no book on that subject can
be found. The clerk suggests 'Agriculture,' and you go back to your task
of hunting for the book. Patience and perseverance are rewarded, sometimes,
with success; but more time has been consumed in finding the needed volume
than is necessary in reading it. During as many as ten years this kind of
work has been going on in the Astor Library, for the reason that the trustees
were assured that no printed catalogue would ever be necessary if this 'card
catalogue' were permitted to be constructed.

"Aside from the fatal defect of accumulating a vast number of books
under a single general heading, thousands of these cards seem to have been
made by persons totally incompetent to do such work. There is no evidence
of scholarship in any of them. Hundreds of names of authors have from

two to four different forms. No effort has been made to discover the authors
of anonymous books, and many books whose authors are already well known
are catalogued as anonymous. Books whose authors are plainly indicated
in the title page are often catalogued under the subject of the book, and
not under the name of the author. There is no end of confusion in these
respects. There seems to have been no pride taken in keeping the biblio-
graphical work up to the high standard exemplified in the catalogues of other
large libraries. In fact, there is hardly a conceivable form of blunder that
is not represented in this labyrinth of cards, this mighty maze without a plan.

"As a consequence the catalogue is not only in an unfit condition to
print, but a much longer time will be necessary to put the cards in a proper
shape for that purpose than would be required to catalogue the books anew,
could they be separated from those that have been properly indexed by Dr.
Cogswell's pen. I repeat that no proper work has been done upon the cata-
logue since the withdrawal of Dr. Cogswell. Soon after the four regular
volumes a supplement of one volume was issued on every page of which are
blunders of some kind or other. Coventry Patmore's poems 'The Betrothal,'
The Espousals/ 'The Angel in the House,' for instance are set down not
among the P's, but among the B's, thus, 'Browning, R. The Betrothed (sic).
The Espousals, The Angel in the House.'

"The trustees have unquestionably done their full duty as far as the
information furnished them enabled them to do so and funds sufficient for
the expenditure required have always been forthcoming. To get the cata-
logue into its present chaotic condition is said to have cost some $14,000 —
a sum sufficient to have kept the cards ready for publication at any time a
vote of the trustees might have designated. The present deplorable condi-
tion of the catalogue can only be accounted for on the principles of general
carelessness, indifference, and lack of all sense of the importance of correct,
scholarly and accurate work in recording the titles of books.

"The usefulness of the Astor Library is greatly crippled from the lack
of a proper catalogue. The library is unquestionably the most valuable in
the United States, and I can conceive of nothing more important to those
desiring to use it, than the completion of the catalogue in accordance with
the plan of Dr. Cogswell, subject to such modifications as have been found to
be desirable. No expenditure of money could be more appropriately made.

"But it is absolutely essential to the success of such a work that persons
competent should be placed in absolute control of it."

In reprinting it the Library Journal made the following editorial com-
ment {ibid, pages 255-256):

"The Astor Library has been added to the number of those to which the
journalists are giving a mauvais quart d'heure. It has always been complained
of for its unaccommodating hours, now it is laughed at for its inaccurate card
catalc^e. We do not know what truth there is in the charge. It may be
that injustice is done. No catalogue is without mistakes. In the best it

is very easy to pick out blunders, and to give the impression that these errors
are fair samples of the whole work. But it may also be that the indictment
can be sustained. That would not be surprising to one who considers the
direction in which the catalogue started. Dr. Cogswell said in the preface to
the four volumes issued in 1861: 'Bibliographical quiddling has been care-
fully eschewed.' He did not explain what the phrase 'bibliographical quiddling'
meant to him; but the expression was an unfortunate one. It betrayed a
dangerous state of mind for a cataloguer. It showed that he had aimed low;
and we must say that his arrow fell short. His published catalogue is not
worthy of a large library. Even the author part — far the easiest to make
— left much to be desired; and the subject portion is surpassed in this country
by only one other index in its successful showing of how not to do such work.
We have always understood that this index, though published five years after
Dr. Cogswell resigned, was prepared according to his ideas. The writer in
the Transcript implies that some change was made for the worse in the original
plan. This certainly is not unlikely. If Dr. Cogswell, whose child the library
was, aimed low, of course his less enthusiastic and devoted successors would
aim lower still.

"There may have been a reason for the inadequacy of the catalogue's
plan. Dr. Cogswell was justly proud of the cheap rate at which he purchased
valuable books in Europe. The circumstances of a revolutionary time favored
him, to be sure; but his great knowledge of books was of the utmost impor-
tance in preventing his being led by low prices into purchasing rubbish. He
naturally would have liked to acquire a similar reputation for accomplish-
ing much with little means in another field. But it is somewhat unsafe to
try to save money in a catalogue. This is one of the cases in which, unless
the purchaser has an exceptional knowledge of the goods, he is apt to find
out after a time that his cheap bargain is a remarkably dear one. In cata-
loguing, as in engineering and building, it is possible to waste money by unnec-
essary solidity and luxurious ornament; but it is unequally extravagant to
scrimp and employ cheap incompetency. The stockholders of our mutual
insurance companies fret over the money lying idle in some of those costly
palaces called home offices; but they are not worse off than the stockholders
of our railroads when they see their bridges, built with too great economy
of materials or work, giving way under heavy trains or before violent storms.
Of these opposite faults, the Astor, so far in its history, seems to have chosen
the latter. People complain that when we found a university in America
we erect a magnificent pile of buildings, and then have little left to pay the
teachers; and it has been said that it is easier to raise money for a new
building than a new professorship. The material carries the day over the
intellectual. Has anything like this ever happened at the Astor? That
library is very well lodged. Probably the erection of its three successive houses
was overseen by a regularly educated architect with some experience. One
would like to know whether the same precaution was taken with regard to
building up the catalogue; whether the persons into whose charge it has from

time to time been put, were selected because they had ever studied or practised
the art, or whether the trustees proceeded on the common assumption that
any person who can write a not utterly illegible hand can write a catalogue
card and that any literary person can tell him how to write it and can revise
his work. The fact is that cataloguing requires, besides a certain amount
of foresight and common (that is uncommon) sense, considerable technical
knowledge which is not to be found, as Alderman O'Brien said the qualifica-
tions of a librarian were to be found, 'in the first man you meet on the street,'
"Another mistake we suspect to have been that Dr. Cogswell — an inde-
fatigable worker — attempted to do everything himself, and never appreciated
the gain that comes from training assistants till they are able to do all the
hand and much of the head work themselves, and leave their trainer at leisure
to attempt more and labor on a higher level. If our conjecture is right. Dr.
Cogswell would, as a natural result, when he resigned, have left no one at
the library who was able to continue his work except in a deplorably inferior
manner."

Aside from work on the new catalogue the fifteen years following 1880
present little of more than ordinary interest. There was a steady but uneven
growth of resources as signified by the number of volumes on the shelves,
an increase from 193,308 in 1880 to 227,652 in 1885, to 248,856 in 1890, and
to 294,325 at the end of 1895. Purchases reached their low level in 1888
when 876 volumes were bought, and their high level in 1894 when 6,886 vol-
umes were bought; the sums spent for books and binding being $6,245.06
and $24,074 respectively. Appreciation of the library as shown by statistics
of readers grew slowly but steadily, the average number for the decade 1880-
1889 being 59,000 readers per year, and for the next six years rising to 70,000.
About the same result is indicated by the figures of volumes consulted, the
number rising from 146,136 in 1880 to 167,584 in 1890 and to 225,477 in 1895.

During 1880 the hour for opening was fixed at 9 a. m., and for closing
at 5 p. m. except during the short days of the winter months when closing
took place at 4 or 4.30 p. m.

A characteristic though not wholly fair expression of the public feeling
and attitude towards the library was given in the Critic of April 22, 1882,
as follows:

"The Astor Library is a failure. . . We should have been grateful to the
Messrs. Astor for letting this monument they have built themselves take its
present form, were it not that the shadow they have given stands in the way
of our ever getting the substantial thing. While the so-called Astor Library
continues to exist and to grow in superficial area and the number of its
hoarded volumes, the state will not give us what we need. The legislator
at Albany will point to the ponderous and drowsy building in Lafayette Place

and say; 'Here is a library on which hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been spent. It is so many feet long, so many wide, so many high. It con-
tains so many bound volumes and so many pamphlets and manuscripts. It
is open daily (except Sundays), and it is guarded by a liveried janitor who
checks your umbrella in the reverberant hallway and chases the noisy small
boy from the door.' All of which is indisputably true. But what we want
is not a spacious building and a liveried janitor, but a library that contains
the best new books; that is provided with an adequate corps of clerks and
messengers; that is open daily including Sundays; that remains open longer,
if anything, on Saturday than on the other days of the week; that does not
close earlier in the summer than in the winter months — a library in short,
such as the Astor might have been, had it not fallen into the hands of directors
who lack even the vaguest notion of what a library should be. Let the Astor
be what it was designed to be (if its founder's sole object was not to build
a family monument), or let it stand out of the way."

The obvious answer was, of course, that the Astor was then what its
conception designed it to be — a reference library and not a popular one, a
collection for the student, the literary worker — that its stores had been con-
sistently gathered in furtherance of well considered plans; that it was admin-
istered as the conscientious men in charge felt such a collection should be
administered. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles; or do men
tend vineyards and fig orchards as thorn lands or thistle patches ? New York
wanted a library filled with the books which might be suggested by the first
man one met on the street, wanted somebody — anybody, but itself — to
present such a library, in return for which the donor would gladly be pro-
claimed a "philanthropist" — until somebody thought of a book he failed to
find there, when "philanthropy" would be changed to "advertisement." The
legislators at Albany had ready at hand an opportunity to permit the city
to provide the kind of library it wanted: the Astor stood in no one's way.
But the city preferred to let a few sewing class teachers start and support
such a library from their own funds. Not until the New York Free Circulat-
ing Library had paid its own way for seven long years, full of care and
anxiety, did the city take its first step towards self respecting recognition and
support of such an instrument for good by making the enormous appropriation
of $10,000.

Conservative the Astor management certainly was, but it was the con-
servatism of a trust conferred. Probably the indictment most frequently
registered against it was the indictment of early closing and late opening.
The opening hour was moved forward from 10 a. m. to 9 in 1880; the clos-
ing hour must perforce in those days be regulated by sunset, for gas meant

increased fire hazards. Opening at night, to be sure, did not necessarily mean
opening the whole building, and the plan proposed in the following extract
from the Library Journal (May, 1884, volume 9, pages 83-84) certainly bears
on its face unanswerable arguments for a trial at least. It is a question, how-
ever, whether it would have paid in 1880; its success was by no means certain
when tried a quarter century later by The New York Public Library with
greatly increased facilities and reading population.

"A New York paper, relying on its imagination, has announced that
the decision has at last been reached that the Astor Library is not to be opened
in the evening. The chief reason is stated to be the expense. It would be
necessary, we are told, to put in gas fittings or electric lighting apparatus and
to employ a night staff of officers, an outlay which would largely diminish the
funds now available for the purchase of books. We are glad to learn that
the report is at least premature, and hope that it will never come to be true.
Opening a library in the evening need not be so vast an enterprise as the
reporter in question makes out, and this no doubt the trustees will see. If,
indeed, the plan were to open the whole hbrary, it would probably be very
costly and certainly would not produce any good result at all proportionate
to the expense. But a less expensive plan was suggested long ago in the
Nation and elsewhere that would cost much less and yet accomplish about
as much. It was that a single room should be kept open until 10 o'clock, in
which students who had engaged books during the day, either by personal
application or by postal card, could pursue their studies four hours longer
than they now can in summer, and five or six hours longer than they can in
winter. The plan is perfectly feasible, for it has been tried at other libraries.
It has been found of advantage even in those that allow their books to be
taken home. A fortiori then one would suppose it desirable for the Astor
Library which strictly confines the use of its books within its own walls,

"It may be that there is no need of such additional accommodation. A
library in another city some years ago was induced to open its doors on
the legal holidays (not on Sunday) . On the first holiday two persons came, and
never since have more than five availed themselves of the privilege. Perhaps
it would be so at the Astor Library in the evenings. Yet it is easy to imagine
cases in which tlie closing of the library must work serious inconvenience.
A professor in a country college has just time enough to make some investiga-
tion at the Astor during the short winter vacation by working day and night.
He comes to New York and studies while it is light, but the library has no
room for him in the evening, and will not allow him to take books to his
hotel to finish his labors there. A Western literary man stops a day in New
York on his way back from a New England watering-place to put the finishing
touches on his book. With a few hours more he could get through all he
wishes to do and take the night train home, but at six o'clock he is turned
out, and is obliged to waste his evening and spend another day in the city
to complete his investigations. Nor would the additional facilities be of bene-

fit to Strangers alone, of whom it might be said that the library is not for
them, but for New Yorkers. City people also often are in a hurry with
some book or magazine article which they wish to finish, some proof that
must be corrected. In a city of a million inhabitants there must be many who
are busy all day and yet would like to pursue in the evening some study which
at present only the Astor Library could furnish them the means of doing.
It may be that there are not enough to make it worth while for the library
to put itself out to oblige them. Nobody can be sure that there are. But
on the other hand the library cannot be sure till it has tried the experiment.
And the experiment could be tried at the expense of a few tables and chairs,
a few yard oil study lamps, a few pails of water, the additional pay for four
hours a day of a porter and one attendant, and the wear and tear of a single
room."

In these last fifteen years the record becomes mainly a narrative of indi-
vidual book purchases and gifts, of changes in the board and staff.

During 1882 Messrs. Rutherfurd and I^rd were compelled to resign
on account of ill health, and William Waldorf Astor tendered his resignation
on accepting the post of American Minister to Italy. In place of Mr. Ruther-
furd, Stephen Van Rensselaer Cruger was chosen in 1882, and in 1883 George
Lockhart Rives in place of Mr. Lord, and Robbins Little, superintendent of
the library, in place of Mr. Astor.

Opening of the north hall forced a much needed reclassification and
rearrangement of the books moved thither and of those left in the other two
halls. During the period of building purchases fell ofiE from 10,138 volumes
in 1877 to 3,516 in 1878, 3,356 in 1879, 2,017 in 1880, and 1,572 in 1881.
In March, 1882, Mr, John Jacob Astor placed at the disposal of the library
$12,000 for books, which resulted in the addition of 3,376 volumes, particular
attention being paid to filling important gaps in archaeology, history, foreign
jurisprudence, political economy, sanitary science, and electricity.

A further gift of $15,000 in March, 1883, from Mr. Astor, resulted in
much needed additions in architecture, painting, music, French literature, law,
medicine, theology. From him also came the fifteenth century manuscript
on vellum of Leonardus de Aquisgrano's Graduale, written in large Gothic
characters, with square musical notes, illuminated, with miniatures of sacred
subjects, borders with figures of dignitaries and their coats of arms, birds,
flowers, etc., bound in old Russia.

Another gift of $15,000 from Mr. Astor in March, 1884, together with
about $5,000 from library funds, provided some 5,030 volumes as accessions
in 1884. In addition, Mr. Astor gave ten manuscripts and early printed books
of unusual interest: an EvangeHstarium, a Carlovingian manuscript on vellum;

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 657

Wycliffe's New Testament on vellum, written about 1390; a Sarum Missal
on vellum of about 1440; the Rationale Divinorum Officiorum of Durandus
printed at Mainz by Fust and Schoeffer in 1459; a vellum copy of the Bible
done by the same printers in 1462, the first dated Bible; the Complutensian
Polyglott of 1514—1517; Tyndale's Pentateuch, printed at Marlborrow in
Hesse by Hans Luft in 1530; Coverdale's Bible, printed at Antwerp by Jacob
Van Meteren in 1535; the Paris, 1558, Vulgate; the first edition of John Eliot's
Indian Bible, printed at Cambridge in 1663-1661. In addition to these he
gave the very important collection of Hardwicke papers, 140 volumes, tran-
scripts and original manuscripts, brought together by Lord Hardwicke, Chan-
cellor of Great Britain (1690-1764) and continued by his sons the second
Earl and the Hon. Charles Yorke, comprising correspondence and other papers
relating mainly to English history and the political relations of England with
the Continent from the time of Elizabeth to the middle of the eighteenth
century. From Mrs. Astor were received as gifts a collection of autographs
including a characteristic letter of Frederick the Great, a Book of Hours
ad usum tornorccnstum, illuminated, on vellum, done probably at Doornik
in the Low Countries in the thirteenth century, and a vellum Officium B.
Virginis Maria (Impressum Lugduni expensis Bonini de boninis dalmatini,
1499).

A fourth gift of $15,000 for books was made by Mr. Astor in February,
1885. In addition he gave three manuscript volumes of interest, formerly
in the library of Pope Pius VI. who left them to his nephew. Count Braschi
of Venice. The oldest, a copy of Hesiod's 'Epya xai 'Ejiepai, written in minus-
cule characters of the thirteenth century, contained an introduction hitherto
unknown explaining the mythology of the Greeks as a personification of
the forces of nature; verses 1-274 were accompanied by an interlinear para-
phrase in Attic Greek. A copy of ^sop's Fables, in Greek, was an excel-
lent specimen of fourteenth century calligraphy (the Codex Vaticanus /^isop
being of the fifteenth century), the body of each fable being written in black
ink, the initial letter and the moral in red; three were in choliambics, the
others in prose. Likewise belonging to the fourteenth century was a copy
of Lucan's Pharsalia (to the middle of the ninth book) probably a transcript
from a ninth century manuscript; the text proved to be remarkably free from
abbreviations and was accompanied by valuable scholia and a sort of map
of Thessalia. From S. G. W. Benjamin, sometime New York state librarian
and American minister to Persia in 1883-1885, he secured two oriental manu-
scripts, the first containing two poems by Jami, the Leila and Mejnoon,
and the Khosm and Shireen, work of the calligrapher Suftan Ali Meshedi

of the year A. D. 1518 (A. H. 896), formerly in the library of the Mogul
emperors at Delhi and bearing the stamp of Shah Akbar and Shah Jehan; the
second of date A. D. 1592 (A. H. 970), a commentary on the Koran (Tafsir
i Koran) by Ghazi Beijsavi, in excellent condition, with many illuminated
headings, the covers overlaid with different colored leather decorated with
cut designs and gilded stampings.

In this same year, the president of the board, Alexander Hamilton, gave
the original manuscript plan of his grandfather, Alexander Hamilton, for a
constitution for the United States, submitted to the constitutional convention
at Philadelphia, June 18, 1787.

During 1887 Mr. Rives resigned from the board, having accepted the
position of assistant secretary of state at Washington. No action was taken
to fill the vacancy until the year following, when Stephen Henry Olin was
chosen in his place.

On December 30, 1889, Alexander Hamilton, president of the board,
died at his home near Irvington-on-Hudson after a short illness. He was the
third president, having served since the death of William B. Astor in 1876.
Hamilton Fish, ranking member of the board — after Mr. Astor — was
chosen to succeed him as president, but on account of his advanced age and
feeble health refused to accept the office, consenting, however, to serve tem-
porarily as acting president. At his earnest request he was relieved from
this duty after nearly two years' service, and on November 11, 1891, Dr.
Markoe, next to him in length of service, was chosen to the office, which
he held until the consolidation.

Printing of the catalogue was finished in 1888, as has been stated before.
Mr. Nelson, who had been engaged on it since 1881, left in 1888 to accept
the position of librarian of the Howard Memorial Library at New Orleans.

With relief from the pressure of this catalogue work came opportunity
for much needed reclassification. About one-half of the department of
science and the greater part of American history were reclassified, shelf marks
changed in the books themselves and in the catalogues. The divisions between
the four general groups of art and literature, history, science, and philosophy
were made more clear by shifting whole sections, in block, from one hall
to another, without attempting to change location marks of individual volumes.

John Jacob Astor, son of William B. and grandson of John Jacob Astor,
died at his home in New York City on February 22, 1890, having served
as trustee since 1858 and as treasurer since 1868, When he became a trustee
the middle hall of the Library was unfinished, the number of volumes on
the shelves was 110,000, the number of readers was about 15,000 per annum.

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 659

and the number of volumes consulted by them was about 30,000. At the
time of his death a third hall had been added by him, a monumental catalogue
had been issued at his expense, the number of volumes on the shelves had
increased to 235,101, of readers to 62,778 per annum, and the number of
volumes consulted by them to 167,584.

By his will foiu" hundred thousand dollars was left to the library, the
income of which was to be used for purchase and binding of books; and
further the sum of fifty thousand dollars, the net income to furnish attendance
fees for members of the board of trustees — a use to which it was never put,
the board voting its application to the general purposes of the library.

At the meeting on March 12, 1890, William Waldorf Astor was elected
to fill the vacancy on the board caused by his father's death. He declined to
serve, however, for reasons personal to himself. Such a step of course brought
out various newspaper criticisms, assertions that he had shirked an obvious
duty, that he had no interest in the welfare of the library, etc. A more
reasonable explanation of the step was that instead of shrinking from a duty
or viewing the library with indifference, he felt unwilling to have it con-
sidered a "family appendage," felt that though founded by John Jacob Astor
and largely supported by two following generations of the family, it was
a public institution and that public support would be withheld as long as an
Astor name was prominently connected with it. (New York Times, quoted
in Library Journal, January, 1892, volume 17, page 32.)

Mr. Edward King was chosen to the vacancy, and was elected Treasurer
on May 14 following. In place of Alexander Hamilton was chosen Charles
Howland Russell on December 10, 1890. The death on September 7, 1893,
of Hamilton Fish, who had served as trustee since 1863, was filled by
election of Philip Schuyler in 1894. No other changes in the board took
place, leaving the members at the time of consolidation ranking as follows
in order of seniority: Messrs. Markoe, Drisler, Cadwalader, Potter, Cruger,
Little, Olin, King, Russell, Schuyler.

The story of the library in these later years becomes little more than a
record of reclassification in various groups on the shelves, of purchases and
gifts.

The end had come for the Astor Library. It had been an important
factor in the intellectual life of New York and its influence had not been
confined to the political or physical boundaries of the city. There were few
scholars or investigators in the latter half of the nineteenth century who
had not at some time used its collections. It had been conceived in the mind
of a scholar and book lover, and its growth and development followed

closely the policies he had planned and prepared. As we see them now they
were Old-World policies, solid, circumscribed, traditional. They lacked the
vision of a democratizing, popular library; they failed to move with the devel-
opment of the American public library, one of the most amazing phenomena
in the intellectual development of this country in the latter part of the
nineteenth century. The popular library — a library for the people — and
the scholar's library — a library for the student — seemed to belong to two
irreconcilable categories. In our day we have come to see that the two
may exist in peace and quiet under the same roof. But it was not so obvious
a generation ago.

The Aster library lost its position as the foremost library in the country,
not because the quality of its collections was lowered, but because its unchanged
attitude kept it out of the main current of American library progress. It
might have continued for another fifty or sixty years much as in its first
forty years, and its usefulness would not have been greatly decreased. It
would still have been a haven for students of history, the humanities, the
classics, and it would have been assured of a life of honor and of fame.
But its usefulness would not have increased. The intellectual life of the
generations that followed its middle years turned to other questions, other
problems, and demanded other sources. A radical change in attitude was
necessary for the best development of its material and the best cultivation of
its resources.

It suffered from its name. There was, as a matter of fact, no proprietor-
ship, no question of family fiefdom or apanage. It was a free public library.
But the public, though free to criticize, was reluctant to contribute towards
its support. That was left to a single family.

The resources of the library were insufficient to meet half the demands
on it in additions of books, more efficient service, or better physical accom-
modations. Unless its funds were materially increased its opportunities for
growth were stunted if not killed. This enlargement of resources would
come much better from a widened public interest and support than from a
further appeal to the purse strings of the family which had founded the
library and had supported it so liberally and unselfishly for nearly half a
century.

686 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

to his estate, to collecting books and objects of art, and to an extensive but
unobtrusive participation in the charitable and religious work of the city. Like
his father he was a trustee of the College of New Jersey, as Princeton was
then called, serving from 1833 until his resignation in 1857. He was a trustee
of Princeton Seminary from 1831 till 1879 and a director of the Seminary
from 1835 till 1847. He received the degree of LL.D. from Princeton ( 1867 )
and Columbia (1875). In 1870 the Lenox Library was incorporated and
through it he gave to his birthplace his books and art treasures. He died on
February 17, 1880, unmarried, the only surviving son in a family of twelve.
"A purer, cleaner, and more finished life it is hardly possible to conceive."

He was of a retiring disposition, feeling that he was by no means a
public man and that the public had no interest in him or his life. Of printed
matter about James Lenox the man, the most extensive and best known
account is the "Recollections of Mr James Lenox of New York and the
formation of his library. By Henry Stevens of Vermont." ' Stevens was
closely connected with him as agent for his book purchases for more than
a quarter of a century after 1845, and from the "Recollections," is condensed
most of the following characterization:

He was a man of few words and few intimate friends, but of varied
information, much studious reading, extensive correspondence, and many
books. By some he was thought proud, aristocratic, distant, and haughty;
but "to me, who was in constant communication with him for more than a
quarter of a century prior to the founding by charter of the Lenox Library,
he always appeared diffident (almost bashful), simple-hearted, generous, kind,
very pious, very retiring and very dose-mouthed to outsiders, but as com-
municative as a child to his intimates; and especially to those in sympathy
with his projects and pursuits. With all his amiable qualities none knew his
duties better, and knowing them, none dared maintain them more firmly and
consistently than he."

As a book collector he was original and peculiar, but nothing could exceed
his promptitude, punctuality, energy, exactness, frankness, truthfulness, sim-
plicity, and courtesy. He was painfully just and even exacting in having
everything in which he participated done in his own way, and when he found
himself mistaken, as he not infrequently did, he always owned up like a man.
His love of exactness, or exact conformity to truth, was sometimes carried
into inconvenient trifles. He tolerated no interviewers or curiosity hunters,
and his own door was seldom opened to visitors except by appointment. He
was himself not easily accessible except for good cause, hut the treasures

of his library, however precious, were generally with great promptness and
courtesy submitted to the use of scholars on due and satisfactory application,
but seldom at his own house; nor was he (with rare exceptions) willing to
lend his rare books or let them go out of his possession. His frequent prac-
tice was to deposit his rarities, when asked for, in the hands of the librarian
of the.Astor Library, or some similar place of safety, and then by note
inform the applicant that the use of the particular book required was at his
service there.

"Mr Lenox excelled all men I ever knew for seizing ideas and persever-
ingly running them out to the end. He possessed an extraordinary aptitude
for sticking to and finishing up any work he had in hand. This, however,
I fancy, was one of the virtues that was not in all cases its own reward.
His first absorbing penchant was for collecting early editions of the Bible
and parts thereof in all languages. Then he took to books relating to North
and South America, including all the great collections of voyages and travels,
as well as the prior or original editions of which they were composed. This
soon led to collecting everything pertaining to the great 'Age of Discovery,'
whether in Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, Dutch, Italian or German , . .

"Besides these he took very early to his favourite author John Bunyan,
and not only edited' an edition of the 'Pilgrim's Progress,' but undertook
to collect all editions and translations of it. In this he was particularly suc-
cessful, having eventually acquired nearly every one of the early English
editions of parts I, II, and III, as numbered from the 1st to the 32nd. No
collection known can be compared with his, that of the late Mr Of for* being
in no way equal to it. Indeed for nearly twenty years I carried in my pocket
lists of the editions of the P. P. he had, as well as those known ones he
wanted, and in that way catered earnestly, allowing nothing to slip through
my fingers that it was necessary to secure for him. In reading catalogues
and reports from all parts of the world, one eye at least was always kept
peeled for his desiderata.

"In the same manner he undertook to bring into his net all the editions
of Milton, and succeeded in acquiring, it is believed, nearly all the known
editions, as well as many not previously recognized, of the early separate
pieces in both prose and verse of the author of 'Areopagitica' and 'Paradise
Lost.' Indeed his collection of Miltons excels that of the British Museum
and that of the Bodleian put together, rich as those libraries are in Miltons."

Stevens says that for the fifteen years following 1845, letters, lists,
invoices, notes passed between them by almost every steamer; he estimated
that in 1854 and 1855 he bought for his New York principal more than

fifty thousand dollars worth. "During the war ' Mr Lenox suspended gener-
ally his ardent foraging for rare books, and only occasionally had an inter-
mittent attack of his old bibliographical fever. Early in 1866, after I had
sent him some extraordinary historical nuggets that he could not resist buy-
ing, he wrote me on Shakespeare's birth and death day, April 23, a long
letter, in which was contained this announcement: 'Your best plan, as far as
I am concerned, will be to let me have a memorandum beforehand of what
' you suppose I may take, and I will let you know immediately what you shall
forward to me. In fact, unless it be some volume like the Vesputius, or
De Bry, or Hulsius, or Jesuit Relation, I have almost made up my mind
to stop purchasing.' Such hints between 1865 and 1875 I not infrequently
had from him in his numerous letters on bibliographical subjects, while some-
times an amusing commentary on these incipient resolutions was found in
a postscript, in which he inquired anxiously for some nugget that he had
passed or missed when under his eye, but now desired me to re-offer or procure
for him."

"From about 1845 to 1869 Mr Lenox was actively collecting his library
so rapidly, and doing all the work himself, that he had no time to catalogue
or arrange his accessions, except a few of the smaller and tidier nuggets
which he could put away in the few book cases in his gallery of art which
was also being filled at the same time with paintings and sculpture. The
great bulk of his book collections was piled away in the numerous spare
rooms of his large house, till they were filled to the ceiling from the further
end back to the door, which was then locked and the room for the present
done with. The accessions after examination and careful collation, approval
and payment, were entered or ticked off in interleaved catalogues of Temaux-
Compans, Rich, Ebert, Hain, Lea Wilson, Offor and others, or in small
and special memorandum books, with sufficient clearness for his own use
but unintelligible to outsiders. The books were then piled away like cord
wood."

The Lenox Library was incorporated by act of legislature of New York
passed January 20, 1870, the trustees named in the act being nine in number,
as follows: James Lenox, William H. Aspinwall, Hamilton Fish, Robert Ray,
Alexander Van Rensselaer, Daniel Huntington, John Fisher Sheafe, James
Donaldson, Aaron Betts Belknap.

Aspinwall, the foremost of New York merchants in the India and Pacific
trade, was at this time sixty-three years old. Hamilton Fish, governor of

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 689

the State, Senator, trustee of the Astor Library since 1863, was, in 1870, secre-
tary of state in Grant's cabinet. Daniel Huntington, then at the height of
his fame as an artist, had served as president of the National Academy of
Design from 1862 to 1869; he alone of the original Lenox trustees was destined
to serve on the larger board of The New York Public Library. The other
trustees were New York professional or business men, friends of Mr. Lenox,
or family connections.

Organization of the board was effected on January 28, 1870, when the
trustees declared their acceptance of the act of incorporation, chose James
Lenox president, Belknap secretary, and requested the president to act as
treasurer until another might be appointed.

At their meeting on March 15 following, they received from Mr. Lenox
$300,000 in 6 per cent, stock of the county of New York, and in bonds and
mortgages on New York City real estate bearing 7 per cent, interest; of this
sum, on April 17, they set aside $100,000 of the city stock towards a permanent
fund, and appointed the remainder a building fund. On this same day they
formally accepted the deed, dated March 17, conveying to them the eight
lots forming the Fifth Avenue block between 70th and 71st Streets and two
others running across their rear.

For the library building Richard Morris Hunt was chosen architect.
Work on it began at once, the first annual report of the trustees stating that
excavation was in progress. The foundation had been laid by May, 1871,
and at the end of that year the building had risen to the top of the first story.
A structure 192 feet long, 114 feet deep. 101 feet high was called for by
the plans, two halls parallel to the side streets being joined by a passage-way
set back from the street, the recess thus formed being 92 feet long by 42
feet deep.

To meet demands upon the building fund in 1871 Mr. Lenox gave an
additional $100,000, which relieved the trustees of the necessity of selling
the stock set aside for the fund; $36,000 of this went for the building and
$64,000 to the permanent fund, $64,000 in New York stock being transferred
to the permanent fund.

During 1872 the walls of the north wing were completed and the iron
frame work of its roof erected; the south wing progressed nearly as far, and
the walls of the centre were carried up to the level of the cornice on the wings.

A gift of books from Felix Astoin, a wholesale liquor dealer of the city,
tendered June 3, 1872, was of importance not only for the intrinsic value
of the collection but also for the intimation of public interest in the library.
In the words of the donor it was a collection made "during a long residence

in this city, embracing about 5,0CX) volumes, all bound and in an excellent state
of preservation, of French books, including the best encyclopedias, works
of art, and on history, classics, etc., and probably the most complete collection
of writings on French bibliography that can be found in the country." The
collection remained in Mr. Astoin's possession until after his death in 1884.

On October 3, 1872, Dr. George Henry Moore was elected a trustee in
place of James Donaldson who had died on June 4, and was appointed super-
intendent on the same date. He had been assistant librarian and librarian
of the New York Historical Society since 1841, and he brought to the service
of the library a knowledge of American historical literature equalled by few,
if any, of his contemporaries.

During 1873 the exterior walls of the building were finished, as well as the
massive fence before the court and the principal interior stairways. The
roof, too, of iron covered with slate laid in cement fastened with copper
wires, was completed, and this, with temporary doors and windows, and
weather boarding for the larger openings, allowed the building to be completely
enclosed; it also hastened work on the interior. The floor arches, in iron
and brick were turned throughout, iron work for the ceilings completed, and
the greater part was ready for plastering in the spring of 1874.

The next two years saw the building practically completed. By the
end of 1876 the greater part of Mr. Lenox's books, paintings, and statuary
had been transferred, but of these three groups the latter two only were
sufficiently well arranged to permit public exhibition. On Monday, January
IS, 1877, the rooms containing them were thrown open for public inspection.
Exhibition continued on Mondays and Thursdays until March and on Mon-
days and Fridays through June. Continued occupation of the building by
mechanics and workmen delayed re-opening until December 1, when an addi-
tional room was set aside for exhibition of certain of the rarer books and
manuscripts. A system of admission by tickets was adopted, admission cards
being forwarded by post to persons applying in writing; during the year
15,000 persons were so admitted.

Concrete evidence of the progress in arrangement and classification of
the books was shown by the issue in 1877 of the first of a series of "Contri-
butions to a Catalogue of the Lenox Library," in the shape of a thorough
and careful collation of the different editions of the Voyages of Hulsius and
of other Hulsiana.

In April, 1878, fifty-nine pieces of paintings on porcelain, enamels,
mosaics, etc., were transferred from the Lenox residence, the exhibition
being opened to the public in May. At the November meeting of the trustees

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 691

Dr. Moore announced the gift of the Duyckinck collection, the library of
Evert Augustus Duyckinck who had died in this city on August 13 preceding.
Mr, Duyckinck had told Dr. Moore of his intention to make the gift on
May 21 of that year and had sent the first installment on the 29th follow-
ing; this shipment included the long files of English literary and illustrated
periodicals. His failing health and strength prevented further transfers before
his death. From time to time during the next four years about half of the
entire collection was transferred. By the will of Mrs. Duyckinck, who died
February 20, 1890, the remainder of the library was bequeathed as a memorial
of her husband and his brother George Lang Duyckinck; after providing for
sundry legacies and certain life-interests in the income to other beneficiaries,
at the termination of the life-interest of one of these beneficiaries ' the entire
residuary estate of every kind was given to the trustees "for the benefit and
support of the library and other objects for which said corporation was
established."

All told, the collection comprised 15,164 volumes and 1,596 pamphlets,
exclusive of the manuscripts, and related almost entirely to English and
American literature. The Duyckincks belonged to a Dutch family long settled
here and long connected with the literary life of the city; the father of the
two brothers had been a printer, publisher, book dealer, since the eighteenth
century. The brothers were men of wide reading and culture, compilers of
the valuable Cyclopcedta of American Literature, editors of Arctiirus and of
the Literary World, friends of every American and many English writers
of note in the middle nineteenth century. The library was such a collection
as such a family and such literary workers would bring together.

Two other gifts in 1878 are worthy of special mention; the admirable
marble group of Lincoln freeing the Slave, executed in 1872 by Thomas
Ball, and Munkacsy's Milton dictating "Paradise Lost" to his Daughters
one of the successes of the Paris Exposition of that year; both were given
by Robert Lenox Kennedy. The Munkacsy was hung in the following sum-
mer. To gratify public interest in it the library was opened for visitors to
the art collection every week day in November and December from 11 a. m,
to 4 p. m.; in these two months the number of visitors, admitted solely on
application, amounted to 13,266.

Progress in the general catalogue was shown by the issue in 1879 'jf
the second, third, and fourth sections of the "Contributions to a Catalogue."
the records of the Jesuit Relations, the Thevenot Voyages, and the Bunyan
collection.

On March 6, 1879, Dr. Samuel Austin AUibone, of Philadelphia, was
appointed hbrarian, his services beginning May 1 following.

The first Brinley sale in this year gave opportunity for extensive purchases
by Mr. Lenox to supplement and complete the Americana of the library.
A noteworthy gift came from Robert C. Winthrop, of Boston, in the shape
of autograph letters of John Eliot, Roger Williams, and the elder and younger
Winthrops.

The death of Mr. Lenox on February 17, 1880, closed a life of quiet
usefulness. At the meeting of the trustees on Thursday, April 1. the follow-
ing memorial notice was adopted:

"James Lenox, the founder of the Lenox Library and first president of
its board of trustees, died at his home in his native city of New York, on
the 17th day of February, 1880, in the eightieth year of his age.

"His surviving associates in the board record this event with a personal
sorrow that is only mitigated by their abiding sense of the completeness of
his Hfe, and the perfection of his life's work. Of the character and incidents
of his career, his own invincible modesty has made it well nigh impossible
to speak; but as his name will be honored through generations to come, history
will carefully gather and preserve the memorials of his good works, among
her choice examples of wisdom and virtue.

"Of gentle birth and life, his education was appropriate to his station
and inheritance. It was enlarged by rare opportunities of foreign travel,
with wide and manifold experience and observation of men and things. In
every relation of life his influence was that of a thorough Christian gentleman,
inspired by the sense of duty, and governed by the obligations of justice.
Bred in the ancestral home school of absolute Christian faith, his whole life
was devoted to the exercise of Christian charity, and his death was in the
triumph of Christian hope.

"The visible monuments of his liberality, substantial and impressive as
they are, undoubtedly bear small proportion to those widely scattered and
generous benefactions which have made glad the hearts of many in many
lands, as those silent tides of benevolence have quietly flowed into many
waste and desert places, of whose meter and bounds there is no earthly record.

"This library is the lasting monument of his devotion to history, litera-
ture and art. Its rich collections are literally personal memorials of his loving
and faithful labors in those perennial fields of noblest culture. It was the
charm of his youth, the delight of his manhood, the comfort of his age; and,
as he has given it his name, it will be the glory of his memory hereafter. Of
all his public works, it is the noblest and most conspicuous which he has
intrusted to our watchful care and guardianship. In its charter and establish-
ment he has clearly indicated the principles which should govern its adminis-
tration; and the fidelity with which his trusts continue to be secured and
protected will prove the permanent measure of its value."

His place as president of the board was filled at the March meeting of
the trustees by the election of his nephew Robert Lenox Kennedy, and his
place as trustee was filled in April by election of Alexander Maitland, his grand-
nephew. In this same year the trustees lost a valued associate by the death
of Aaron Betts Belknap on June 4, in the sixty-fourth year of his age, at Keo-
kuk, Iowa, while on his way home from the General Assembly of the Presby-
terian Church. He was one of the charter members of the board and had
served as secretary from its organization in 1870 to January, 1876, and as
treasurer from 1876 until his death. As treasurer he was succeeded by
Alexander Maitland in October, 1880, his place on the board being filled by
the election of Dr. James Lenox Banks, a nephew of James Lenox, in Decem-
ber following.

During 1880 the reading room in the south wing was thrown open to
visitors for the exhibition of a further selection of rare books and manuscripts.
As yet no books were available for consultation by readers, the report for
this year stating that "as by far the greater portion of these treasures must
always be for exhibition in general, rather than for absolute use by the multi-
tude, attracted by curiosity to cursory inspection rather than critical examina-
tion, the trustees have a genuine pleasure in the confirmation which experience
has furnished of the high estimate they have placed upon the educational value
and important influence of these and similar exhibitions.

"At some future day, the information which is constantly, readily and
cheerfully furnished to all visitors and inquirers may take a more definite,
enlarged and permanent form in such discourses and readings on those objects
of bibliography, literature, archaeology and art, as are contemplated in the
provisions o'f the charter referring to the public lectures to be delivered in
connection with the Library."

Part V of the "Contributions," Dr. Allibone's catalogue of the Shake-
speare collection, was issued in this year, and Part VI, the Milton catalogue,
in 1881.

In this latter year the picture gallery received an important addition in
the gift by the president of a contemporary portrait of Milton once owned by
Charles Lamb who cherished it with i>eculiar and characteristic reverence
and made it the subject of frequent allusions in his conversation and corre-
spondence with his friends. This, with Mr. Lenox's copy of the portrait of
the Protector, painted to order from the original by Sir Peter Lely in the
Pitti Palace, Florence, and Munkacsy's Milton, made a valuable complement
to the other material for a history of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Eng-

lish life and thought in the Bunyan, Shakespeare, and Milton collections
already in the library, and the Milton manuscripts presented in 1882 by Mr.
Kennedy. These latter were contained in a single folio volume and included
a long holograph letter of the poet, written in the spring of 1647 at Barbican,
to his friend Carlo Dati of Florence, the draft of the latter's reply, and
three receipts or releases hearing the mark and signatures of Milton's three
daughters, Anne, Mary, and Deborah Clarke, on receiving each one hundred
pounds from their stepmother, Elizabeth, as their portions of the estate of
their father.

It was now over ten years since the library had been incorporated and
there were no books available for consultation by the public. There was,
of course, a certain amount of newspaper criticism of the policy of the institu-
tion, and in their twelfth annual report (for 1881) the trustees stated at some
length their conception of the purposes and ideals of the library,

"The series of reports heretofore submitted to the Legislature by the
trustees" — they go on to say — "has distinctly pointed out the general char-
acter of the collections which form the library intrusted to their care and
direction, and a careful consideration and review of the details presented will
indicate what may justly be expected from its due administration. The library
differs entirely from most public libraries. It is not a general library, intended
in its endowment and present equipment for the use of readers in all or most
of the departments of human knowledge. Many of those departments are not
represented at all, or if at all, in the most concise works of general reference,
but with nothing like fullness and completeness in the apparatus necessary
for thorough work by the student in those departments. Beyond its special
collections it should be regarded as supplementary to others more general
and numerous and directly adapted to popular use. It is not like the British
museum, but rather like the Grenville collection in the British museum, or
perhaps still more like the house and museum of Sir John Soane in Lincoln's
Inn Fields, in London, both lasting monuments of the learning and liberality
of their honored founders. Thus, while the library does not profess to be
a general or universal collection of all the knowledge stored up in the world
of books, it is absolutely without a peer or a rival here in the special collec-
tions to which the generous taste and liberal scholarship of its founder devoted
his best gifts of intellectual ability and ample resources of fortune. It
represents the favorite studies of a life-time consecrated, after due offices
of religion and charity, to the choicest pursuits of literature and art.

"It would be difficult to estimate the value or importance of these marvel-
lous treasures, whose exhibition, hitherto only in part, has challenged the
admiration of all scholars and given a new impulse to those studies for which
they furnish an apparatus before unseen in America.

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 695

"The world of books opens an infinite and endless range for the scholar,
and the greatest libraries yet known in history represent parts only of the
great divisions of human knowledge. . .

"The countless myriads of volumes produced in the past four centuries
of printing with movable types, have left in all the libraries of all the nations
comparatively few monuments or even memorials of so many eager, or patient,
or weary generations of men whose works have followed them, when they
have rested from their labors.

"The Lenox library was established for the public exhibition and scholarly
use of some of the most rare and precious of such monuments and memorials
of the typographic art and the historic past as have escaped the wreck and
been preserved to this day. That exhibition and use must be governed by
regulations which will insure to the fullest extent the security and preserva-
tion of the treasures intrusted to our care, in the enforcement of which the
trustees anticipate the sympathy and co-operation of all scholars and men
of letters, through whose use and labors alone the public at large must chiefly
derive real and permanent benefits from this and all similar institutions."

By 1882, however, they were able to report that "Some use has also
been made of the library by scholars and special students, under the immediate
supervision of the Superintendent, in the furtherance of studies and researches
for which the materials are not elsewhere to be found in this country," and
also that "all the time at the command of the Superintendent and Librarian
has been devoted to the preparation of the general catalogue of all the col-
lections, which it is intended to complete as soon as possible. The printing
of special contributions of minute and exhaustive bibliography has been inter-
rupted on this account, although a considerable part of the labor thus bestowed
upon the general catalogue will be available to some extent in the special
works referred to." In the report for 1883 they continue: "The use of the
library referred to in the last report has been continued. It will be hereafter
enlarged and extended to promote research and provide for the public enjoy-
ment of all the collections easily and gradually, without risk of interruption
or failure in any part of the duty of those who are charged with their care
and protection. Scholars and special students have already availed them-
selves of their opportunities in this direction, as the real character and value
of the treasures here have become known to them. The proper functions
of the library will thus be developed to the fulfilment of its best uses, and a
satisfactory solution of all the problems of administration attained without
danger of loss or injury, against which its directors are bound to guard, by
the terms of their trust."

The following clever skit appeared in Life (January 17, 1884) as Lesson
XVI in its "Popular Science Criticism" and serves well to indicate a very
common attitude towards the library at that time.

This, dear, is the great Lenox Library.
What is it for?
Nobody knows.

But I thought you said it was a library?
So I did.

Then there must be books in it?
Perhaps.

IVhy is it called the "Lenox" Library?
Because it was founded and given by Mr. James Lenox.
Given to whom?
To the city of New York,
Oh! then it is a public library?
Yes, dear.
How delightful! Why it must be very useful to students and the reading

public?
Very.

But why are the doors locked?
To keep people out.

But I thought you said it ivas a public librarv?

Then hozv can they keep people out?
By locking the doors.
But why?

To keep the pretty books from being spoiled.
Why! who would spoil the pretty books?
The public.
How?

By reading them.

Gracious! What are all those brass things on the roof?
Cannon, dear.
What are they for?

To blow the heads off students who want to get in.
Why! and see those gallows!

Why?
To ascertain if the applicant has any real necessity for consulting any

Ask the Trustees.

Clever, but superficial. Charles Ammi Cutter, then editing the Library
Journal, was broad-minded enough to reprint the satire in the April issue of the
Journal, and was wise enough to accompany it with the following comment:

"In another column we have copied from Life a clever skit on the Lenox
Library. We hope none of our readers will suppose that we take it seriously.
Every librarian knows that the Lenox Museum, as it should have been called,
was not intended to be a free circulating library for the benefit of the poor
of New York, nor even a library of reference for the literary man anxious
to throw off a magazine article or a leader in some newspaper in the quickest
possible time. The latter, we are now told, is the function of the Astor. The
Lenox has not the books to perform these offices, it has not the money to
pay the attendants that a public library in a great city needs, its situation is
entirely unfit for any such purpose, and its books are still more unfit. Imagine
its "Jesuit relations" circulating about Five Points, or its "Thevenot voyages"
in the Chinese quarter. One might as well complain that the Zoological
Museum does not give up its stuffed birds to furnish Christmas dinners to
the poor, or that portolanos are not used to teach geografy from in the public
schools. The object which the New York Free Circulating Library proposes
to itself is noble — none more so. No member of the American Library
Association will despise the service of the people, or the service of those writers
who serve the people. But there is another legitimate function of a library,
the service of the scholar. The satisfactory accomplishment of this object
demands that there shall be collected, in several places if necessary, but prefer-
ably in one, many rare and costly books, which because they cannot easily
be replaced must be carefully preserved.

"In England this function is performed by the British Museum, but we
have no British Museum, nor can we rely upon Congress to give us a national
library. We have no one repository of books, where the scholar can go
certain of finding much of the rarer literature on whatever subject he is led
to investigate. He must run over a great country and find a book here and
a book there. When, therefore, a library was given for his use which con-
tained wonderfully rich collections of Bibles, of incunabula, of early voyages,
and the like, works that are not wanted often, it may be, but are wanted very
much when they are wanted at all, — a library which, not being intended
to satisfy the desire for reading, did not circulate its books, and not being
intended to gratify an idle curiosity, was not thrown open to every comer,
and having unique treasures, was bound to preserve them scrupulously for
posterity, — it was not creditable to the public, that, instead of being grate-
ful for what was given, it should complain because it did not receive some-

thing else, and should now abuse the library for not being what it was never
meant to be. We do not say that the museum is made as useful as it might
be; we do not think that the best means are adopted for keeping out those
who cannot profit by its treasures and admitting without unnecessary effort
those who can. But we are anxious that the public should not, in its impatience
at the clumsy regulations now enforced, forget its debt of gratitude for what
it has already received, and also, to speak after the manner of Talleyrand,
for what it may receive under a wiser management, which shall keep out the
curious idler by some rule which shall not so much inconvenience the student."
(Volume 9, page 60.)

During 1884, the Astoin books were transferred to the library; the
gift, the first considerable contribution to the institution outside the circle
of trustees, had been announced in 1872, but the books remained with their
collector until after his death. They numbered 4,544 volumes and 137
pamphlets.

Transfers of Mr. Lenox's collection continued from time to time, the
De Bry collection coming in 1884 and the manuscript of Washington's farewell
address in 1885.

Robert Lenox Kennedy, second president of the board of trustees, died
at sea on his way home from Europe, September 14, 1887; he was succeeded
in office by John Stewart Kennedy on October 6 following, his place on the
board being taken by H. Van Rensselaer Kennedy.

Miss Henrietta A. L^nox, sister of the founder, died during the year;
by her will, probated April 26, 1887, the library received the sum of $100,000
to be applied to the purchase of books alone, and the grant of the remainder
of the block between 70th and 71st Streets, the library front on Fifth Avenue
and Madison Avenue, "upon the express condition that no building of any
description except an addition to or extension of the present library building
shall at any time be erected or permitted to be erected upon that portion of
the above devised property lying westerly of a line parallel with Madison
Avenue and one hundred feet westerly therefrom." '

Beginning with November 8, 1887, tickets of admission were dispensed
with. This caused a temporary increase in the number of visitors, which had
steadily decreased from the 19,957 recorded in 1880 to 10,976 in 1886; the
total for 1887 was 13,000, of which 2,901 were recorded between November

8 and December 31. The increase proved to be temporary, however, 1888
showing but 8,263, 1889 a total of 8,708, 1890 of 10,724, 1891 of 9,569.
In this period the library was closed during July - September. In 1892 it
was open only till May 14,' after which it was turned over to the mechanics
for the rearrangements necessitated by the Stuart gift. In the following
years the number of visitors doubled, being 20,225 in 1893 and 26,156 in 1894.

Two events of note in 1888 were the purchase of an illuminated manu-
script executed by Giulio Clovio and the bequest of the musical library of
Joseph W. Drexel. The Clovio manuscript, a lectionary, is one of the best
pieces of work done by "the Raphael of miniaturists," and was supposed to
have been executed by him for Cardinal Alessandro Farnese as a gift for
his uncle, Pope Paul III.

The Drexel bequest consisted of 5,542 volumes and 766 pamphlets relat-
ing exclusively to music; it came to the library subject to certain conditions,
such as the requirement that the collection be kept by itself, that the books
be distinctively marked, etc. In the course of 1888 and 1889, it was classified
and there was printed for it a short-title hst of sufficient fullness of entry
to serve as a guide or finding list. In 1890 Mrs. Lucy W. Drexel, widow
of the donor, presented a marble portrait bust of her husband, executed by
J. Q. A. Ward.

No. VI of the "Contributions to a Catalogue of the Lenox Library," had
been issued in 1881. Outside of the Hulsius collection, the Jesuit Relations,
Thevenot's Voyages, the Bunyan, Shakespeare, and Milton collections cata-
logued in these "Contributions," there was in print no complete catalogue of the
library, the only record of the collection consisting of Mr. Lenox's check lists
in interleaved bibliographies and in his own note books. In November, 1887,
were printed, for official use, ten short-title lists of various groups, copy for
these lists being arranged, transcribed, and printed within a period of about
four weeks, which gave no opportunity for revision of copy or correcting
of proofs. The groups thus listed were: (1) Bibles, etc., in English; (2)
Bibles in various languages; (3) Americana; (4) Miscellaneous; (5) Shake-
speare, Angling, Milton, Bunyan; (6) Aldines, Indexes, Manuscripts, engrav-
ings, caricatures; (7) Astoin collection; (8) Duyckinck collection; (9) paint-
ings, sculptures, porcelain, enamels, mosaics, medals, carvings, etc.; (10) mis-
cellaneous collections in the reading rooms. No. 11 was printed in 1889
from the interleaved catalogue received with the Drexel collection. No. 12
recorded part two of the Duyckinck collection and was printed from title
slips made from the books themselves. During 1889 a selection from these

lists was revised, cut up, and pasted into scrap books in one alphabet to serve
as a temporary guide or finding list.

During 1889 the New York Historical Society made overtures towards
purchase of a portion of the property devised by Miss Lenox in 1887 but
the proposal was declined after mature consideration. In this same year was
purchased the library of the late president of the board of trustees, duplicates
and other works in the collection not belonging to the field in which the
library was specializing being sold at auction.' The portrait of Van Brugh
Livingston painted by Sir Henry Raeburn and presented by Alexander Mait-
land formed an important accession to the picture gallery.

Two portraits by Daniel Huntington, one of James Lenox, the founder,
and the other of his nephew Robert Lenox Kennedy, second president of
the board, were presented in 1890 by John S. Kennedy, third president. He
also gave a collection of one hundred and five volumes, original editions of
the Waverly novels, and the subse<iuent separate publications of the introduc-
tions and notes.

A lot of fifty-nine letters and other documents relating to the early history
of Scotland and 155 letters, poems, and extracts from favorite authors alleged
to be in the handwriting of Robert Burns was given by him also at this time.
The gift aroused no little comment at the time because of its peculiar interest;
later examination showed that the entire collection was a clever modern
forgery, and the collection was of course withdrawn from exhibition.

These forgeries were the work of Archibald Howland Smith, a lawyer's
clerk employed by the firm with which at one time Scott had done business.
From papers given him to destroy he had taken several Scott letters which,
after his discharge, he had sold; the ready market for such papers su^ested
forging others, A stock of (real and apparent) old paper, a ready wit, and
a clever hand provided him soon with an almost exhaustless store of manu-
scripts. Many of these he sold to Stille, the father of the Edinburgh book
trade, and from Stille Mr. Kennedy secured the lot he gave to the library.

After the discovery of the forgery Smith was arrested on December 5,
1892, held for trial before the High Court of Edinburgh, found guilty on
June 28, 1893, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment.

The Barlow and Ives sales in New York in 1890 and 1891 gave oppor-
tunity for purchases of Americana of first importance. Mention may be made
of the Barlow Brereton's Brief and True Relation (London, 1602), bought

from New-England (London, 1624), for $350; and the twenty-one volumes
of manuscripts collected by George Chalmers the historian, bought for $2,310.

The bequest of the Stuart collection was the most important event
of 1892. This consisted of 11,888 volumes and 1,963 pamphlets, 240 paint-
ings, a large collection of minerals, shells, and other objects of natural his-
tory, besides many pieces of brie a brae, carvings, and art curiosities. The
most important part of the library related to natural history, but there were
also over 2,000 volumes connected with American history, 2,000 volumes
relating to theology and ecclesiastical history (including 400 editions of the
Bible), 1,500 volumes relating to art, 200 to bibliography and literary history,
and 50 illuminated manuscripts.

Robert Leighton Stuart was a sugar refiner of New York City, active
in the business, charitable, religious, and educational life of the city. He
succeeded John David Wolfe, first president of the American Museum of
Natural History, and served as head of that institution from 1872-1881,
when he retired on account of his health. It was commonly supposed he
had intended his collections for the Museum, but at his death (December
12, 1882) they passed to his widow to whom he left his entire estate.

Mrs. Stuart's will left $50,000 to the American Museum of Natural
History "for the purpose of maintaining the buildings of that institution,
and the specimens illustrative of Natural History therein contained in good
order," on condition that the Museum was never to be open on Sunday; the
"books and works relating to Natural History. . .also the minerals, shells and
other specimens" likewise went to the Museum, Princeton was to receive
such books and specimens as the Museum did not take, and to Princeton
Theological Seminary went all Bibles printed in English.

The will was dated January 18, 1887. Between that date and Novem-
ber following Mrs. Stuart changed her mind and revoked, by codicil dated
November 15, 1887, the bequests to the American Museum and to Princeton,
leaving all the books, all the minerals and other specimens, all the paintings
and objects of art to the Lenox Library. The bequest was accompanied by
the conditions that the collection be kept separate, in a special room, and
that it never be exhibited "on the Lord's Day." She was undoubtedly influ-

enced to take this step by Mr. Kennedy who was at once an executor of
her will and president of the Lenox, and by her fear that the American
Museum of Natural History and Metropolitan Museum of Art (to which
she left $50,000, which was likewise revoked) would yield to the growing
popular demand and open their doors on Sunday. The fear was not realized
for a year or two ' but it was strong enough to keep the codicils unchanged
and to transfer the collections from the museums to the library.

To carry out the provisions of the will it was necessary to refinish and
equip the north room on the second floor for reception of the books, paintings,
minerals, etc. It was deemed best to close the building and give the whole
interior a thorough renovation and to use this opportunity for replacing the
original roof, which had leaked consistently and persistently, with a new roof
of copper. From May 14, 1892, until February 21, 1893, the building was
in the hands of the workmen. On the latter date it was opened to some
seven hundred invited guests and on Washington's birthday opened to the
public

Undoubtedly the most important single acquisition of 1892 was the only
known copy of the original Spanish edition (printed probably at Barcelona)
of the letter of Columbus written to Luis de Santangel, treasurer of Aragon,
dated February 15 -March 14, 1493, announcing his discoveries in the new
world; the letter, two leaves of text, had been discovered in Spain in 1809,
was priced by Maisonneuve of Paris at 65,000 francs, passed from him to
Quaritch of London who held it at £ 1,600, and by Quaritch was sold to the
library for £1,500.

The four hundredth anniversary of the first voyage of Columbus brought
with it a stir of public interest in the literature of the discovery period. As
their contribution towards the anniversary celebration the trustees printed in
October a facsimile of the illustrated Latin edition of Columbus' letter to
Gabriel Sanchez — the Lenox ( Heber-Libri ) copy being the only perfect one
known — together with the text of the four earliest editions in Latin, and
a bibliographical introduction and a translation by Wilberforce Fames, the
(then) assistant librarian; it was issued in two editions, one on hand-made
paper, large paper in size, a limited edition for presentation purposes, and
a popular edition for sale.* The introduction was dated October 21, 1892, and
the Spanish edition was received at the end of the same month. This new acces-

sion and the demand for the reprint necessitated a second edition of the pam-

of the Spanish edition; the text comprised only the facsimile of the illustrated
Latin edition and a translation.'

When the Duke of Veragua was in New York on his visit to the Colum-
bian Exposition at Chicago, he spent a good portion of the 19th of June,
1893, at the Lenox building; the exhibition of Columbus material interested
him so much that he expressed a desire for a list of the manuscripts in the
library relating to Columbus and his family. This list of over two hundred
pieces was duly forwarded to him in Spain, and in May, 1894. he sent in
return a list of forty-six documents in his possession exhibited at the Chicago
exposition, their dates ranging between 1488 and 1537.

The gift was sent through Mr. Louis Windmiiller of this city and was
accompanied by a letter and photographs of himself and his son bearing the
autograph signatures of the subjects. In announcing this gift the New York
Times of May 19, 1894, stated that the original manuscripts had been pre-
sented; this paragraph was copied far and wide in the newspaper press and
gave rise to some amusing comments. The Chicago Herald stated that "For
the Duke of Veragua not to give Chicago a chance to buy them, but to have
presented them as a gift to a community and an institution neither desiring
nor deserving them, is not only ingratitude on his part, but looks like mere
spite."

Dr. Moore, superintendent of the library since 1872 and secretary of the
board of trustees since 1876, died May S, 1892. At the regular meeting of
the trustees held May 6, Mr. Maitland was appointed secretary and superin-
tendent pro tern. Mr. Wilberforce Eames, who had been Dr. Moore's secre-
tary and assistant since 1885, was appointed assistant librarian on October 7,
1892, the appointment to date from May 1. On June 2, 1893, he was made
librarian and Mr. I. Ferris Lockwood was appointed superintendent.

An amendment to the charter had been secured on March 19, 1892, per-
mitting the trustees at their discretion to increase their number from nine
to not exceeding twenty-four, and directing that the then board appoint a
time for an annual meeting, divide itself into three classes with terms of service
of one, two, and three years respectively, and that thereafter at each annual
meeting one-third of the number be elected to serve for three years. The-

first Friday in January was appointed as the date of the annual meeting

the term of the first class of trustees to expire January 5, 1893.

HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY 705

At this time the board was organized with John S. Kennedy president
and Alexander Maitland secretary and treasurer; trustees of the first class
(term expiring January, 1894) were John S. Kennedy, Alexander Maitland,
H. Van Rensselaer Kennedy, William Allen Butler, and J. Henry Harper;
the second class (term expiring January, 1895) were Frederick Sturges,
Charles Scribner, William S. Tod, John Sloane, William F. Havemeyer; the
third class (term expiring January, 1896) were Daniel Huntington, Stephen
Baker, George L. Rives, with two vacancies.

So far as material for study of American history was concerned the
library was unusually well provided for the period of discovery and the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; for later periods its material was uneven,
almost weak. This deficiency was overcome by the purchase on April 1,
1894, of the library of George Bancroft, the historian, at a price of $84,492.15.
By his will Bancroft had directed that his historical manuscripts be first
offered for sale undivided to the Library of Congress, for which purpose
they were to be reserved not longer than three years. The library was
appraised and offered to Congress at a price of $75,{XX). The time limit hav-
ing nearly expired — Bancroft died on January 17, 1891 — with no action
taken by Congress, negotiations were opened on behalf of the library with
the result that the whole collection of manuscripts and printed books were
sold to it and brought to New York.

To state that the collection comprised 14,606 printed volumes, 4,648
pamphlets, and 486 volumes in manuscript gives no adequate idea of its
importance for students of American history. It was the working library
brought together by the man who had written what is probably the best known
history of the country; the History stopped with the adoption of the Constitu-
tion and within the limits of the discovery to 1788 the material collected by
him was undoubtedly without a rival in private hands.

The most important manuscripts in the I^nox collection were the papers
relating to Spanish America collected by Muiioz, the Spanish historian, from
whom they passed to Henri Ternaux-Compans, thence to Obadiah Rich of
London, thence to Mr. Lenox who purchased them about 1850. The Bancroft
manuscripts related mainly to the British colonies and to the Revolutionary
and early constitutional period of the United Colonies and the United States.
These two collections, with the B. F. Stevens "Facsimiles of Manuscripts in
European Archives relating to America," provided the Lenox Library with
manuscript material relating to the country before 1800 that was surpassed
in importance by few other libraries in the United States. It is manifeMly
impossible to speak here in detail of the papers in the Bancroft library; suffice

it to say that they included twenty-seven folio volumes of letters and papers
of Samuel Adams and the Boston Committee of Correspondence, original
papers of most of the prominent actors in the Revolutionary period, and over
three hundred folio volumes of transcripts from public and private archives
of England, France, Germany, Austria, Russia and from the American colonies
and American colonial families. Of the printed books about 8,000 volumes
and 3,000 pamphlets related to American history, 2,000 volumes to English
history and literature, 1,500 volumes to German literature and philosophy,
1,000 volumes to French and Italian literature, 500 volumes to Greek and
Roman literature, besides the miscellaneous works one would expect to find
in the library of a man of such a wide experience in affairs as Bancroft.

The Lenox collection was further supplemented this year by extensive
purchases of American laws and legislative journals printed before 1800, of
books and manuscripts from the library of the late superintendent Dr. George
H. Moore. The collection of early printed books received important addi-
tions in a fine and perfect copy of Higden's Polychronicon, printed by Caxton
in 1482, a French translation of Josephus printed on vellum at Paris by Antoine
Verard in 1492, four Cologne imprints of Ulrich Zell in 1467, and the first
edition of Suetonius printed at Rome in 1470 by Philip de Lignamine.

An interesting collection of 435 volumes was presented in 1894 by Dr.
Wendell Prime consisting entirely of editions of Don Quixote and other
works by Cervantes. Another important accession consisted of over 45.000
numbers of early American newspapers, including specimens of nearly every
important file of the colonial and revolutionary periods — a purchase from
Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet and Charles R. Hildeburn. The sale of the second
portion of Dr. Moore's library in February and the Livemiore sale at Boston
in November, 1894, gave opportunity for the purchase of some 615 and
449 pieces, important additions in Americana, manuscripts, maps. Bibles, early
educational works, catechisms, primers, and English literature.

Four manuscripts secured this year deserve special mention. From the
Moore estate was purchased in May the letter written by General Giarles
Lee on March 29, 1777, while held a prisoner by the British, offering a plan
for subjugating the Americans. The manuscript had been discovered in Eng-
land in 1857, when it was secured by Dr. Moore; in his hands it formed
the basis of his work on The Treason of Charles Lee. At the Moore sale
was purchased a long holograph letter, in five folio pages, written by Rev.
Jonas Michaelius, the first minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in America,
addressed to the Rev. Adrian Smoutius in Amsterdam, and dated from the
island of Manhatas in New Netherland August 11, 1628, one of the earliest

documents written in this city. Two documents in the handwriting of Thomas
Jefferson were presented by Mr, Alexander Maitland, the first his holograph
draft of a proposed constitution for Virginia, written in June, 1776, with a
preamble containing many phrases and sentences subsequently repeated in
the Declaration of Independence; the second was the draft of a proposed
amendment to the national constitution admitting Louisiana into the union
in 1803.

In June, 1894, was begun a subject catalogue on cards. By September,
two sets of the printed catalogue of the Stuart collection had been cut up, the
entries pasted on cards, and the cards distributed alphabetically by subjects
in the public catalogue cases. Titles for books in the Lenox and Bancroft
collections and for new accessions were then copied in manuscript and similarly
distributed according to subject. In August a beginning was made in trans-
ferring to cards the titles of the author catalogue. This author catalc^e
consisted of four scrap book volumes made in 1889 by mounting in one alpha-
bet the titles noted in the various short-title lists then issued; its utility had
been seriously impaired by the interleaving of additional titles, until there
came to be several alphabets. By obtaining the services of two copyists, the
work was finished in November, in a separate alphabet of 26,000 cards;
author entries for the Stuart and Bancroft books increased the number to
about 40,000; the subject entries — in a separate alphabet — amounted to
30,000 cards. Subsequently the two alphabets of author and subject cards
were filed together in dictionary form, thus providing a public working index
to the collection, complete except for certain special groups such as the Bible
collection, early Americana, maps, manuscripts, etc.

The exhibition of rare books, maps, manuscripts, etc., in the north hall
was increased and rearranged preliminary to the making of a catalogue or
guide book for visitors. It was planned in this way to illustrate by early
examples the arts of writing, book-itlumination, engraving; the early history
of printing in Europe and America; the discovery, settlement, and history
of this country; the oldest and most famous editions of the Bible in. various
languages; and other masterpieces of literature in manuscript and print. The
preliminary movements towards consolidation in 1895 and the consequent
uncertainty of administrative policy stepped in, however, to forbid the printing
of the handbook. At the Lenox building, as at the Astor, the policy in these
last few years was one of drifting, constructive work waiting for the develop-
ments of the new administration and the new library.

THE HERITAGE OF THE MODERN PRINTER

By Margaret Bingham Stillwell

THE "Revival of Printing," which began about twenty-five years ago,
came at a time when the art of bookmaking had become so commercial-
ized, in the haste and competition of the nineteenth century, that it had
practically forfeited its right to be termed an Art. The movement is, there-
fore, most appropriately called a "Revival" for it was started in the endeavor
to print modern books equal in beauty and in workmanship to the noblest
products in the history of printing.

The invention of movable type in the middle of the fifteenth century
was an innovation which did not at the time materially affect bookmaking as
an Art, Through generation after generation of painstaking effort the scribes
and illuminators had achieved a perfection in bookmaking which has never
been surpassed. The early printers did not have to grope their way along.
As scholars and as men of literary tastes they were already familiar with
some of the most beautiful books which the world has ever seen. It remained
for them to adapt the new invention to standards already well established.
The monumental works issued from their presses bear witness to their success,
but competition was not lacking in their work. There was the keenest rivalry
between the transcribers and illuminators on the one hand, and the printers
of movable type on the other. It was a long struggle, and until the art of
printing had finally superseded that of manuscript making, the printers were
forced to prove themselves capable in every way of living up to the standards

maintained by those skilled craftsmen who so zealously fought for the continu-
ance of their trade. When it was over, competition of another sort arose —
between the printers themselves — and this competition gave rise to the prac-
tice of economy in time and in material. Former standards were swept aside
in industrial struggle and there began a process of deterioration which, with
a few exceptions, was continuous in its growth until well toward the end of
the nineteenth century.

By the end of the eighteenth century Caslon type, which, in its straight-
forward way, had lent something of charm to English printed books, was
already out of style. Shaded letters after the manner of a certain specie of
penmanship, first introduced by Baskerville, became the fashion in type, and
for purposes of economy in space these letters were re-cut from time to time
in narrower and taller founts. Title-pages, if not actually engraved, were
printed in type designed to look like copperplate. The accepted method of
beautifying a book was by interleaving it heavily with plates, on the apparent
theory that the more plates the more beautiful the book. In 1844, however,
the younger Whittingham revived the Caslon type in his work at the Chiswick
Press and reintroduced ornamental initial letters in the text, such as had been
used in books of the sixteenth century. Both he and William Pickering, the
publisher, used their own good sense, neither following the past in servile
imitation, nor allowing themselves to be bound to the fashion of the day.
Although Chiswick books from that time had a certain influence upon contem-
porary printing, they did not effectually turn the tide. Type, in general, became
more evenly tinted, to be sure, and ornamental letters and headbands were
used as decorations. But the latter soon degenerated into meaningless type
ornaments of rococo origin. Occasionally, books of a higher order were issued.
The Rev. C. H. O. Daniel, for instance, issued some genuinely attractive
little books at his private press in Oxford, and Mr. Herbert P. Home and
Selwyn Image together published in the late eighties a magazine, called "The
Hobby-Horse," in which especial care was given to the printing. The real
impetus to the revival of fine printing came in the establishment of the Kelm-
scott Press in 1891. Horace Walpole, a hundred years before, had attempted
to produce beautiful books, in limited edition, at his Strawberry Hill Press.
His standards of beauty were according to those of his day. William Morris
first tried to produce beautiful books at the Chiswick Press. Failing to satisfy
his own ideals, he cast off stereotyped methods, and set himself the task of
producing modern books according to the standards of the master printers
of the fifteenth century.

THE HERITAGE OF THE MODERN PRINTER

739

The establishment of the Kelmscott Press was the culmination of three
factors in Morris's own personality — his appreciation of the noblest of human
thoughts as expressed in literature and in art; his interest in the practical
working out of certain industrial ideals; and his passion for the creation of
the Beautiful. He had

struggled with British com- P^^VVILLIAM '
mercialism for years. He
had attacked various crafts
one after another, and had
demonstrated that, in each
case, industrial changes for
the better were possible.
Through socialism he had
sought to establish condi-
tions in which Art could
live. His aim was indus-
trial revolution through re-
form, and it was only when
an aggressive policy was
adopted that he withdrew
his support from the Social-
istic party. To him, the
various crafts were closely
allied, because each was but
another method of express-
ing Beauty, and he was as
much the master of one

craft as of another. In his trades of interior decorator and printer, he was
both workman and designer; as a writer, he was poet, essayist and translator.
In whatever came from his hand, he combined two factors — his own creative
genius and the best that he found in the similar products of the past. Therein
lay his conservatism.

Although the idea of founding a press had evidently long been in his
mind, it seems clear as we review the various activities of his life that, until
those last years, the time was not yet ripe, for it is through his examples of
fine printing, perhaps more than in any other way, that Morris was able to

transmit to the world something of his own ideals; his own spontaneous, yet

conservative, personality.

In the early sixties, Morris had taken up the study of woodcuts for the
purpose of book illustration. In the next decade, he began to devote much
time to the study of ancient illuminated service books, the results of which
appeared in his exquisitely illuminated copies of Horace and Omar Khayyam,
During the eighties, he had published several books at the Chiswick Press
in which he had tried to adapt the means at hand to the best possible use.
Convinced that his ideal could not be achieved in this way, he set out to design
his own type. "There was only one source," he wrote, in regard to the design-
ing of his Golden Type, "from which to take the examples of this perfected
Roman type, the works of the printers of the Fifteenth Century, of whom
Nicolas Jenson produced the completest and most Roman characters from
1470 to 1476." So from photographic enlargements, Morris studied Jenson's
type and redrew his designs until he mastered the essence of it. In 1889,
he had begun % systematic collection of the best examples of the early printers'
work in order that he might study the make-up and "build" more thoroughly
than from the specimens of incunabula which he already possessed. It was
from these books that he deduced his laws for fine printing — "letter pure
in form; severe, without needless excrescences; solid, without the thickening
and thinning of the line which is the essential fault of the ordinary modem
type, and which makes it difficult to read; and not compressed laterally. As
for margin, the inner always the narrowest, the top somewhat wider, the
outside (fore-edge) wider still and the bottom widest of all, a rule never
departed from in Mediaeval books, written or printed" — the technical side
of which, Morris explains in great detail in his essay on "The Ideal Book."

The first printers had put into their books the best that they had found
in the bookmaking of the past. To the manuscript makers and the skilled
illuminators, therefore, is due the grace and vigor in the type designed by
the best of the early printers and in the type — similar, although somewhat
modified in form — which appears in the best of modern books. From them,
we inherit the desire to give to the printed page that evenness of color and
regularity of spacing for which they strove in painstaking hand labor. And
to them we owe the idea, perhaps greatest of all, that the two pages of the
open book are a unit in which a well proportioned margin should surround
the blocks of type — so that the hand holding the book may not soil the text.

The paper used in the Kelmscott paper-copies was made expressly for
Morris, hand woven from linen rags and successfully modelled, after much
experimentation, upon a Bolognese paper of about 1473. It is fine grained,
fairly thin yet tough, and It has a clean, pleasant feeling to the hand. Accord-
ing to its grade or size, it was water-marked with a conventional primrose,
a perch bearing a spray, or an apple — each water-mark supported by the
initials "W" and "M." Morris intended to make his own ink in course of

time, and it is very probable that he would have accomplished this also if
his death had not brought his work so suddenly to a close.

The first Kelmscott book, which appeared in the spring of 1891, was
in the Golden Type, the Roman fount which Morris based upon his study
of Jenson. Before the end of the year, another fount was ready for use.
This was Gothic, based upon the type of the early German printers, notably
Schoeffer, Zamer and Koberger; and called the Troy, from the title of the
first book in which it appeared. Within a few years this Troy Type was
re-cast in a fount of smaller size and used in the sumptuous folio of 1896,

742 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

issued only a short time before Morris's death — the Chaucer, from which
this small-sized Gothic type took its name.

Upon the title-pages of his books, Morris printed only such statements
as referred directly to the subject matter, after the manner of the so-called
"label-title" which came into being about 1490, The facts regarding the
production of the book, the printer, place and date, nowadays contained
generally in the imprint at the bottom of the title-page, Morris reserved for
the end of the volume, like the colophons used by the manuscript makers and
the early printers. The placing of these details, whether all on the title-page
or divided into title-heading and colophon, is of course purely arbitrary. There
is no absolute right or wrong in the matter. Yet much may be said for the
logic of the latter arrangement.

One of the first to catch the spirit of Morris's venture was Mr. Charles
Ricketts. Like Morris, Mr. Ricketts began his career as printer by trying
to create beautiful books with the printers' outfit of the day, and like him
he came to the conclusion that success could not be attained under conditions
as they were. It was several years after Morris began to produce his Kelm-
scott books before Mr. Ricketts began to work out designs for a fount of
his own. Between 1896 and 1904, when the last book from the so-called
Vale Press was issued, he designed three sets of type — the Vale, the Avon
and the Kings founts. In his theory of type-design, however, Mr. Ricketts
differed fundamentally from Morris. In the work of the early printers
Morris saw the crystallization of the best that had been achieved by the manu-
script makers from' whom he likewise sought inspiration, and in his intense
love for all that was Mediaeval he failed to realize that all might not share
his passion. In Mr. Ricketts's type there is a boldness and a precision of out-
line not found in the Kelmscott books, for, as he himself has said, he conceived
his types as forms cut in metal and in his study of the early printers' books
he felt "that sense of logic, balance, and control which characterised the
Renaissance itself."

Meanwhile, when the Kelmscott Press was broken up shortly after
Morris's death, the Guild of Handicraft of which Mr. C. R. Ashbee was the
leading spirit, purchased two of Morris's hand-presses. Up to that time the
Guild had not included printing among its crafts, because in view of the
work done by the Kelmscott and the Vale presses, Mr. Ashbee felt that a
new attempt in that direction would seem "almost an impertinence," but when

THE HERITAGE OF THE MODERN PRINTER 743

Morris died the possibility of a press presented itself in a new light. The
first books issued at this new Essex House Press were in Caslon type. In
1901 and 1903, respectively, Mr. Ashbee's Endeavour and Prayer Book Types
appeared, both of which adhere more closely to the characteristics of manu-
script lettering than any other type designed during the "Revival."

In 1901, the first book was issued from the newly established Doves
Press, founded by two of Morris's most intimate associates, Mr. T. J. Cobden-
Sanderson and Mr. Emery Walker. The type which, like Morris's, was
modelled after Jensen's has a certain luminous quality — a combination of
delicacy and firmness which, both in type-design and in presswork, shows the
hand of a master. Surrounding the text is a wealth of margin. In propor-
tion it does not seem to differ materially from that used by all printers of
beautiful books. It is seemingly more liberal because of the square octavo
page characteristic of the Doves Press books, and its whiteness is emphasized
by the gray block of text, unbroken by ornament, and embellished with only
an occasional, simple initial-letter so carefully placed that the line of margin
is undisturbed.

This press was founded "to attack the problem of pure Typography" and
unfortunately, for booklovers, the notes of its death song have already sounded.
Various masterpieces of literary thought have meanwhile been produced; for
Mr. Cobden-Sanderson believes that "Whether by the Doves Press or some
other Press or Presses, such monumental production, expressive of man's
admiration, is a legitimate ambition and a public duty. Great thoughts deserve
and demand a great setting."

■ Although not so frequently mentioned as some others, the name of Emery
Walker should be among those most honored in the "Revival of Printing."
It was to him, we are told, that Morris confided his ideals and hopes when
opening his Press, and to him that Morris went for counsel, relying much
upon his taste and sympathetic understanding of the project. As early as
1888, Mr. Walker published an essay on fine printing and he was one with
Morris in the early attempt to print satisfactory books at the Chiswick Press.
A year after he had entered into partnership with Mr. Cobden-Sanderson at
the Doves Press, Mr. Walker it is said assisted in designing the exceed-
ingly beautiful fount, based on Sweynheym and Pannartz, for Mr. Hornby's
Ashendene Press at Chelsea. The Ashendene Press has made an additional

of dialeft to become fixed firmly on the national
tongue. Caxton — not by introducing the printing
press but by determining that the English press
should disseminate works in the English language
—performed a service of inestimable unportancc to
English Lteraturc. That Caxton had a keen apprea-
ation of good usage m language wc know from his
references to his efforts to improve his own vocabu-
lary by finding out exaflly what words mean and
how rhey should be used. Bom. as he acknowledges
in his first publication, in a p.irt of Kent where " 1

contribution to the movement in the happy combination of colored initials with

printed text.

Another press which has come to take a prominent place in the "Revival
of Printing" was started by Lucien Pissarro at Epping. Pissarro was originally
a wood engraver of Eragny, Normandy, who took up the study of typography
in the early nineties. In 1896, he began the publication of books in the Vale
type, through the courtesy of Mr. Ricketts. Seven years later, together with
his wife, he brought forth their first book in the Brook Type, "A Brief Account
of the Origin of the Eragny Press." Naturally the possibility of decorating
their books with woodcuts made a strong appeal. The quaint, personal quality
of their illustrations and ornaments is often very attractive, especially in
cases where the woodcuts are hand-colored.

In America, Mr. Bruce Rogers who was then at the Riverside Press,
and Mr. D. Berkeley Updike of the Merrymount Press were first to feel the
influence of the "Revival." The names of both are frequently included among
those of the printers of this school of private presses. Yet they may almost
be said to have started a school of their own, for theirs was the happy faculty
of absorbing the real essence of the "Revival" and of translating it at once
into terms of commercial printing; with the result, that their books combine
real charm with what is at the same time practicable in every sense of the
word. The same might now be said of a score of other presses in America,
and of equally conspicuous British houses, which have since applied the laws
of fine printing to the regular trade and have bettered the product of their
presses according to the measure of their success in understanding its prin-
ciples. Like every movement of its kind, the "Revival of Printing" has
attracted a host of followers, many of whom, seeing the truth underlying it
all, are striving to achieve in spite of certain handicaps. Others, seeing merely
the superficial, have caught at various characteristics and stereotyped them
into meaningless convention.

The remarkable thing is that those presses which may properly be said
to belong to the "Revival of Printing," besides following the laws deduced
by their "master-printer," have each made some individual contribution to the
movement. In this way, possibly more than in any other, is shown the power
of Morris's influence. He looked to the Past for inspiration, and gaining
it combined with it his own personality in his Kelmscott books. And through
him as interpreter and guide, the printers of his school have been able not

vGoo

THE HERITAGE OF THE MODERN PRINTER 747

only to take the best from the Past and to carry out his ideals for the Book
Beautiful, but to add to this heritage something of themselves.

Occasionally a few books belonging to the "Revival" appear in an auction
room or are listed in a bookseller's catalogue, A certain number are recorded
annually in Slater, Karslake and American Book-Prices Current. Not many
copies are on the market, however, because the books were issued in limited
edition and many of them are still on the shelves of their original purchasers.
The prices which these books command, although not as yet prohibitive, raise
them above the reach of the average buyer and give them place in the libraries
of those booklovers who have sufficient means to rank as collectors.

The Public Library, striving to meet demands for the latest books on
the War, and for up-to-date works of science and economics, can hardly be
expected to devote even a portion of its income to the purchase of books whose
value to the public is more as works of art than for actual utility. Yet, if the
Library is to fulfill its function of making available to the public the knowl-
edge of the great achievements in the world's development, it needs these
books. It must rely, then, upon the generosity of its friends.

Fortunately, in our own case, several of the finest specimens among the
books of the "Revival" have already found their way to our shelves, but
their number is very few.

It is not possible nor desirable for the printer at the commercial press
to live up to the rather fastidious standards of the "Revival" itself. The type
designed for these presses, for instance, is beautiful when examined letter
by letter, but on the full page printed without leading and with little space
between the words, as is characteristic of the majority of their books, it can-
not be read with ease. The use of a small leaf or ornament between sentences
to mark a change in thought and yet avoid breaking the text into paragraphs,
which has rather aptly been described as a "glorified full-stop," gives an even
tone of color to the page which is pleasing enough in itself. In continuous
reading, the eye becomes wearied of the unbroken pages and longs for the
occasional short line and the space at the end of the paragraph. And again,
the elaborate initial letters and ornamental borders which adorn many of
these books are graceful in design and admirably executed, though hardly
suited to the subject matter or character of the average books of today.
Morris printed Mediaeval subjects in a Mediaeval way, which was most fitting,

but any one of his charming ornamental initials printed by machinery and
interjected into a modern page of Caslon would be anything but appropriate.
It is such peculiarities, however, which first strike the eye as it surveys
the books of the "Revival," and which appeal as strongly to the dilettante
as they rebuff the more practically minded. The dilettante snatches at these
superfluities and copies them until they lose whatever of beauty and meaning
they originally possessed. The other rejects the books en masse and, with-
out seeing beyond the surface, condemns them as specimens of a passing
fad. Whereas, back of it all there are certain laws of book-building which
these books exemplify and it is these laws re-discovered and practised by the
"Revival" which have had so striking an influence upon modern bookmaking.

Individual letters of pure form, grouped in words which are separated
by enough space to be quite distinct from one another; ink, in full black, care-
fully distributed, and printed with even impression; paper of good quality;
sufficient margin to set off the text; illustrations or ornaments not incongru-
ous with the subject matter and so placed that the harmony and balance of
the two pages of the open book are not destroyed — these are the hallmarks
of a book well printed. These are laws which apply to every book — whether
printed from specially designed type on hand-made paper, or in linotype on
commercial paper.

Swift's "Advice to Grub-Street Writers,"

"Get all your verses printed fair.
Then let them well be dried.
And Curll must have a special care
To leave the margin wide,"

is all very well so far as it goes. It leads rather to Dibdin's love for "tall
copies" than to the real truth of the matter. It is not the width of the margin
which makes a book attractive. It is its proportionate width. It must not be
so narrow in proportion to the text that the book has a cropped and shorn
appearance. On the other hand, it must not be so wide that the text seems
lost in a mass of over-conspicuous white. There is a happy mean between
these two extremes, and it is only when this point is reached that real beauty
is attained.

The laws of symmetry, balance and rhythm underly all art and one or
more are essential in the make-up of every object which is truly beautiful.

,G

THE HERITAGE OF THE MODERN PRINTER 749

In book-building the application of these laws is perhaps not so obvious as
in some forms of art, yet nevertheless they obtain here as elsewhere — sym-
metry, in exactness of arrangement and in accurate spacing; balance, in the
nice arrangement of text and margin, so that the two pages of the open book
form an artistic whole; and rhythm in the even impression of type and har-
monious relation between the type and whatever of ornament or illustration
the book contains, so that as the leaves are turned, page by page, the effect
is that of a harmonious mass of gray set in relief by the surrounding white
of the margins.

Whether Morris created the spirit of our time or whether he was himself
the product of his time, it would be hard to determine, especially from so close
a perspective. That the yeast was already at work we know. DeVinne and
William Blades had long been writing upon the history of typography. On
the Continent, a similar interest was manifest. Ruskin and Oscar Wilde had
earnestly sought Truth and Simplicity as the essence of Beauty. Other
printers, besides Morris, had tried to apply these principles to book-building
and had been confronted with the unyielding methods of commercial printing
in the late nineteenth century. But it was Morris who first dared to brush
aside these conditions and to go to the root of the matter for himself.

Whatever its cause, dating from about 1900, a change seems gradually
to have come over the spirit of our printing. Beauty may be found not only
, among the sumptuous books issued by booklovers' societies and clubs, but in
those from the majority of English and American publishing houses, not to
mention similar specimens of fine printing published outside these two coun-
tries. We rarely see the cheap octavo with its cramped and oftentimes blurred
type printed on inferior paper, which in its day served the purpose of making
good literature available at a small cost. Today, our publishing houses find
it possible to give us, at a low figure, books of a clear, readable type, well
spaced and evenly printed upon paper of a considerably better grade. Instead
of books illustrated, we have illustrated books and there is as wide a chasm
between the artistic value of these terms as the distance between the poles.
Instead of half-tones on dissimilar paper, line-cut drawings are often used.
Even in our passing books of fiction, the text is surrounded by a pleasing
width of margin. Not infrequently the margins at the outer sides and bottom
are a bit wider than at the top above the running title — and even the fraction

of an inch added to the space below the text adds grace and beauty to the
printed page.

It was William Morris who maintained, after studying the works of the
master printers, that a book to be beautiful must be "architectural" in its
build. It is undoubtedly to the influenoe of his Kelmscott books, and of
those produced by the printers of the subsequent "Revival of Printing," that
we owe much of the improved appearance of our books today. These private
presses, through years of endeavor, produced books which are the modem
exponent of the best that had been achieved in the history of printing. It
remained for the commercial printer only to study their methods and to adopt
whatever he found feasible, if he would raise the standard of his press.

MARY WRIGHT PLUMMER

MISS MARY WRIGHT PLUMMER, until recently the Principal of the
Library School of The New York Public Library, died September 21,
1916, at the home of her brother in Dixon, Illinois.

Miss Plummer was bom in Richmond, Indiana. She studied at Wellesley
College and later at Columbia University, where she was a member of the
first class to study library science in this country or in the world. From
1896 to 1904 she was the Librarian of Pratt Institute Free Library of Brook-
lyn, and the Director of Pratt Institute Library School from 1896 to 1911.
When the Library School of The New York Public Library was opened in
1911, Miss Plummer became its Principal, a position which she held until
her health failed early in the summer of 1916. She was President of the
American Library Association, 1915 to 1916, and her presidential address,
"The Public Library and the Pursuit of Truth," read at the national con-
ference of the Association at Asbury Park, in June of this year, attracted
much interest'and favorable comment. She was the second woman to hold
the position of President of the American Library Association, having been
Vice President in 1900 and 1911. She had also held the presidency of the
New York State Library Association, the New York Library Club, and the
Long Island Library Qub. In 1900 Miss Plummer was a delegate from this
country to the International Congress of Libraries at the Paris Exposition.

In addition to her position in library work in this country. Miss Plummer
was the author of a volume of "Verses," "Stories from the Chronicle of the
Cid," two books of travel for children, — "Roy and Ray in Mexico," and
"Roy and Ray in Canada." — and the compiler of a work on "Contemporary
Spain."

A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

THE history of the Library, by Mr. Lydenberg, of which the first part
was printed in the Bulletin for July 1916, is temporarily discontinued.
A search for more data concerning the later parts of the history has made
this postponement necessary. ■ The concluding parts, describing the Tilden
Trust, and the New York Free Circulating Library, will appear in early num-
bers of the Bulletin. After that, it is planned to publish the whole history
in separate form.

BOOK-REVIEWS

rHESE papers are hosed upon four informal lectures given to an audience
composed of the librarians of small libraries and of library assistants.
They were pari of a series of lectures held in this Library, binder direction
of the Library School. Miss Plummer, the late Principal of the School, zvished
to give the visiting librarians some discussion of the literary and human aspects
of library work, rather than of its routine. Other lecturers spoke about mod-
ern poetry and fiction, book-illustration, and the drama. Printed here, these
articles are primarily addressed to such an audience as that for which they
were originally prepared. I do not pretend to offer much that will be new
to the librarians of large and scholarly libraries, but in the material which I
collected, perhaps there is something to interest any reader of the Bulletin.

§1

TN these talks we shall discuss some of the faults and merits of book-review-
-*■ ing as it is done to-day, and as it interests librarians. Its importance to
librarians will be emphasized; but it may be taken for granted that they are
interested in all that pertains to books and reading. It is necessary for a
librarian to read book-reviews, and to get all the help which she can get from
them, but it is especially undesirable for her to depend too much upon them.
She must know how to review books for herself, and must not always accept
as final the judgment of any other reviewer, no matter in what publication
he writes.

814 THE NEW YORK PpBLIC LIBRARY

To make these points, I shall speak to-day of the present condition of
book-reviewing in this country. At the next lecture, we can talk about the his-
tory of book-reviewing in England and about some of the contemporary
reviews. After that, the history of reviewing in the United States, and our
present book-reviewing periodicals. The fourth lecture will consider the dif-
ferent classes of book-reviews, the processes of getting a book reviewed, and
the minor subject of book annotation.

§2

"There are five groups interested in literary criticism: publishers of
books, authors, publishers of reviews, critics, and finally, the reading public."
This classification was made by an essayist in the Atlantic Monthly half a
dozen years ago. You will see at once that he has left us out of the reckoning
entirely, — he pays librarians not even the bare compliment of mention. All
the persons in these five groups, by the way, are accustomed to leave librarians
out of their reckoning, — all but the publishers of books, at any rate. When
a writer, or a critic, is speaking of literary or bookish folk he never mentions
librarians. This is a strange thing, — librarians who do nothing but collect,
preserve and distribute books are thought of as a sort of class apart from
all others who deal with literature. What is the reason for this ? Are libra-
rians themselves partly to blame? Have they so busied themselves with the
machinery of their profession, have they been so much interested in the
methods of collecting, preserving and distributing books that the impression
has gone abroad that they have no time to open the covers, and finally, no
inclination to do so, even if they had time? You and I are indignant at this
charge; we know that we read books and love them. But, we must admit
that the mistaken view is rather widely held, and that few writers in naming
the various kinds of people interested in books, remember to include librarians.

To be quite honest we must also remember that some of our colleagues
seem wholly concerned with getting libraries (i. e., the buildings) constructed;
with buying, cataloguing, and lending books. They boast that they have no
time to read anything but the "literature of the profession." The Lord for-
give them for that use of the word "literature"! At last, they come to look
upon any kind of book, except a code of library rules, as too trivial for a
librarian to read. I am sure you all have seen librarians caught reading a
book, and looking as guilty as a boy stealing apples.

Nevertheless we must correct the error of that Atlantic essayist (he was
Charles Miner Thompson, the editor of The Youth's Companion) , we must
correct his error, and include librarians in the class of those interested in
book- reviews, as well as in books.

He said "interested in literary criticism." The subject of these talks is
"book-reviews." The terms are sometimes used as if interchangeable, so
it may be well to establish the distinction at the outset.

It is not always easy to draw the line between them, — indeed, it is
certain that both in what I quote and in what I have to say myself, the terms
"criticism" and "literary criticism" will occasionally enter. Yet every one
of us recognizes the difference between a "reviewer of books" and a "literary
critic." Probably there are youths or maidens so ingenuous and callow that
as soon as they write a book-review or two for the local newspaper, will refer
to themselves as "literary critics," — just as the member of a board of alder-
men might fancy himself a "statesman."

Book-reviewing is, of course, a humble branch of literary criticism. It
s an entirely honorable occupation or diversion, but it does not confer upon
its practitioner the dignity of the acknowledged critic. The literary critic
is presumably a man of learning. He weighs the written products of the
centuries, and is seldom concerned with the books of the week.

The reviewer, on the other hand, need not be, and often had better not
be, a person of profound scholarship. He must have a good education, to
be sure; he must be well read. But, supposing that he can write at all, he
can pass a satisfactory judgment on Barrie's latest comedy without quoting
Aristotle's "Poetics"; he can compose a sensible paragraph about a volume of
verse by some contemporary poet without having Boileau at his fingers' ends;
and he can deal with the average novel of to-day, and render an opinion which
will serve the usual intelligent reader, even if he is not perfectly familiar with
the theories of their art held by Flaubert and his disciple, Maupassant. There
are not half a dozen genuine literary critics in this country to-day; some per-
sons would probably say there is not one. But perhaps even the most severe
commentators on the state of our book-criticism would admit that there are
scores of persons who can write decent reviews.

To sum up, then, the difference between book-reviewing and literary criti-
cism, — here it is, practically in the words of Professor Brander Matthews:
The aim of book-reviewing is to engage in discussion of our contemporaries.
It is a department of journalism, and must be carefully distinguished from
criticism, which is a department of literature.

§3

I said that those who comment upon the state of book-reviewing in
America — in other words, those who review the reviewer — might argue that
there are scores of persons who can write fairly good book-reviews. But
is this correct? Are they even so lenient as this?

It happens that the state of American book-reviewing has been under
consideration to an unusual degree, within a few years. Two articles by Bliss
Perry (in the Yale Review, for July and for October, 1914), started the dis-
cussion. But as the essay by Mr. Thompson, to which I have already referred,
antedates Mr. Perry's articles by six years, let me quote from that, first. Mr.
Thompson finds little that is good. All five of the groups of persons, which
he cited, are, says he, discontented with the present condition of American
criticism, —

"Publishers of books complain that reviews do not help sales. Pubhshers
of magazines lament that readers do not care for articles on literary subjects.
Publishers of newspapers frankly doubt the interest of book-notices. The
critic confesses that his occupation is ill-considered and ill-paid. The author
wrathf ully exclaims — but what he exclaims cannot be summarized, so various
is it. Thus, the whole commercial interest is unsatisfied. The public, on the
other hand, finds book-reviews of little service and reads them, if at all, with
indifference, with distrust, or with exasperation. That part of the public
which appreciates criticism as an art maintains an eloquent silence and reads
French." '

And now, as we have added a sixth group — librarians — it may be said
that they also complain about book-reviews. They complain for the same
reason as Mr. Thompson's "reading public," because they often find book-
reviews of little service, and they complain for another reason, — that of
timeliness. In other words, the average book-review appears weeks, if not
months, after the librarian really needs it. Since this is a practical difficulty,
rather than an intellectual one, it is sometimes disregarded.

The harassed librarian or library assistant, with a score of her readers
demanding a new book, may be in doubt as to whether it is one she ought to
buy. Now is the time for a book-review whose advice she may follow. Under
these circumstances she would rather have the opinion of some reviewer with
common-sense, given to her when it would be useful, than the solemn and
final judgment of the greatest living authority upon that subject — whatever

it is — delivered like a decision of the Supreme Court, anywhere from eighteen
months to three years after the publication of the book. And she is quite right.

So we will add librarians to the list of those interested in book-reviews,
and stipulate promptness as a quality which they may justly demand in book-
reviewing.

§4

What do the critics of book-reviewing say is the matter ? Well, here is
the leading indictment from the most eminent and most recent of them. I
quote directly from Mr, Bliss Perry's article "Literary Criticism in American
Periodicals" (Yale Review, July, 1914):

"We all agree that the status of literary criticism in America is unsatis-
factory. Those of us who write books agree that it is only now and then,
and by lucky accident, that our books are competently reviewed. We get
praise enough, and sometimes blame enough — or nearly enough — but we
do not often get real criticism. The reader and would-be buyer of books has
great difficulty in discovering what new books are worth buying or reading.
A generation ago one could often depend upon the local bookseller for this
information, but, for well-known economic reasons, the old type of book-
seller has in most towns been driven from business, and the young lady who
arranges her hair behind the book-counter of the department store is obviously
puzzled by your questions. If you turn to the newspapers for information
about the twelve or thirteen thousand books published in this country every
year, you find, it is true, a heroically compiled mass of book notices, — many
of them composed, in their essential features, by the advertising clerks of
the publishers who are trying to sell the books. There were never so many
Saturday and Sunday literary supplements and other guides to the book buyer;
but there was never, even in the Eighteen-Thirties, any less actual criticism
in proportion to the number of books published. Here and there, there is
a daily or weekly journal that endeavors, according to its abilities, to uphold
and to apply critical standards. I need not name them, for they are rare
enough to be generally known. Technical treatises, it is true, frequently meet
with competent criticism in technical journals; although I have heard the
editor of a scientific paper boast that he had dictated, in sixty minutes, reviews
of eleven new- scientific books, not one of which he had taken the trouble to
read beyond the preface and the table of contents."

That last sentence is an illuminating comment upon the veneration which
librarians sometimes lavish upon "technical journals," upon "scientific" and
"expert" opinion !

818 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

In October of the same year, and in the same magazine, Mr, Perry con-
siders "The American Reviewer" himself. Who is this reviewer, he as£s?
He quotes Mr. Thompson: "Commonly in the newspapers, and frequegtly
in periodicals of some literary pretension, the writers of reviews are shiftless
literary hacks, shallow, sentimental women, or crude young persons full of
indiscriminate enthusiasm for all printed matter."

Thus it is phrased, bluntly and brusquely, by Mr. Thompson. We can
find the thing said ever so much more effectively in "Pendennis." That is
always the way, — if we wish facts, we go to a book of facts, but if we wish
truth, we have to consult what we call fiction.

Peildennis, you will remember, in his London experiences, was a writer,
journalist, poet, and book-reviewer. This is what Thackeray says of him:

"The courage of young critics is prodigious; they clamber up to the judg-
ment seat, and, with scarce a hesitation, give their opinion upon works the most
intricate or profound. Had Macaulay's History or Herschel's Astronomy
been put before Pen at this period, he would have looked through the volumes,
meditated his opinion over a cigar, and signified his august approval of either
author, as if the critic had been their born superior and indulgent master and
patron. By the help of the Biographic Universelle or the British Museum,
he would be able to take a rapid resume of a historical period, and allude to
names, dates, and facts, in such a masterly, easy way, as to astonish his mamma
at home, who wondered where her boy could have acquired such a prodigious
store of reading, and himself, too, when he came to read over his articles two
or three months after they had been composed, and when he had forgotten
the subject and the books which he had consulted. At that period of his life
Mr. Pen owns, that he would not have hesitated, at twenty-four hours' notice,
to pass an opinion upon the greatest scholars, or to give a judgment upon the
Encyclopaedia."

What Mr. Thompson has said of reviewers, says Mr. Perry, is true
enough, no doubt, and yet the latter believes that there are "hundreds of
reviewers of a better sort, college-trained young men and young women, who
have some notions of literary standards, plenty of professional ambition, a
tolerable skill in writing, and who would really like to do their best."

§5

Why don't they do it, you ask ? Mr. Perry thinks it is commercialism, —
the control of the advertising department over the literary page of the paper.
The young reviewer often has his honest say, he admits, and so does many

an older reviewer. And not ail publishers and advertisers are disingenuous.
But the control exists. The system is simple. Copies 6f all reviews are sent
to the publisher: if these reviews tend to be unfavorable, the publisher will
often cut down or threaten to cut down his advertising; and then the counting-
room of the newspaper wants to know why the young reviewer cannot take
a more "reasonable" attitude of mind. That is all: and if the reviewer's living
is dependent upon his taking a "reasonable" view, he often surrenders. Here
is an instance, cited by Mr, Perry:

"I am not, of course, putting a theoretical case. Any publisher's office
or newspaper office has its own stories to tell. In fact, since I began to write
these pages, I have stopped to listen to the adventures of a young newspaper
man, a recent graduate of that joyous school of journalism, the Harvard
Lampoon, who is now doing the literary and dramatic criticism for an even-
ing paper in an inland city. This boy's amazed discovery that his light-hearted
notices of certain very light fiction brought rebuking response from the pub-
lishers, from the manager of the local bookstore, and from the counting-room,
was comic, and it would have been tragic if the Lampoon humorist had not
demonstrated in other ways his value to his newspaper. But he does not joke
any more about the advertisers: he has seen, in a flash of illumination, the
relation between the far-away publishers and the weekly pay-envelope of the
cub reviewer,"

Aside from commercialism Mr. Perry declares that, compared with for-
eign periodical criticism, American book-reviewing lacks candor, it lacks trained
intelligence, and it lacks distinction. It is often ambitious, — he cites a Holi-
day Number of the New York Times, with its "Review of the Hundred Best
Books of the Year." But although the books were selected and described by
a committee from the department of English of Columbia University, the per-
formance "revealed the limitations of the amateur."

56

Let us discuss these two charges against American book-reviewing. First,
there is the commercialism, the control of the literary page by the business
manager; the muzzle placed upon a free expression of honest opinion by the
power of the dollar. There can be little doubt that it exists. The testimony
of men who ought to know is so strong; the antecedent probability is so much
in its favor, that it cannot wholly be denied.

820 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

From personal experience I am unable to relate a single thrilling encounter
with Mammon. During five or six years I have intermittently written reviews
of various books for a newspaper which devotes to reviewing probably more
space than any other journal in the country. It also carries a large amount
of book-advertising. For a much shorter time I wrote reviews for one of
the periodicals. Whether the editors were so impressed by my appearance of
honesty that they thought it hopeless to tempt me, or whether they are not
accustomed to try to tempt anyone, I will let you decide. But they never con-
veyed to me, directly or indirectly, that I should praise this book, or "go
easy" on that book, because its publisher was a big advertiser with them. Nor
was one line, nor one word, of adverse criticism, condemnation or ridicule
ever deleted or altered in my reviews by the editorial "blue-pencil," — that
mythical implement which all editors are supposed to keep handy. Perhaps
my experiences were lucky: in fact, I know they were.

But it would be wrong to argue from this instance that there is no such
thing as commercial influence on book- re viewing. In certain places it un-
doubtedly exists, — the testimony of experienced and widely-informed men
is almost invariably in the affirmative. The man who buys space in news-
papers and magazines, whether to advertise books, or patent medicines, or a
department store, or a theatre, or a railroad, holds a weapon over the heads
of the publishers. His power can be used — it frequently is used — as a subtle
and effective kind of bribery, one of the new and refined forms of sin which
our civilization has developed.

So this evil which affects us, is only a small manifestation of a very large
national evil: the power which the advertiser holds to corrupt the press, and
through the press to mislead public opinion. It is bad; it bothers us and
troubles us to find that there are book-reviewing publications which can be
muzzled or bought. But as we are citizens first, and librarians afterwards, it
is absurd to lose the sense of proportion. It is foolish to explode with wrath
over this matter and not to save any indignation for the larger damages which
can be wrought. It would be ridiculous to think merely of venal book-reviews
and to forget the children who are drugged and the wretched invalids who
are huiTibugged because many publications do not dare tell the truth about
patent medicines; or to forget the railroads and corporations which, by purchas-
ing advertising space can and do buy editorial opinion, color the news, and
poison at its source the information upon which we depend to govern our acts
and votes.

There are two or three other considerations about this matter of com-
mercialized book-reviewing. It cannot be defended for an instant, and yet

BOOK-REVIEWS 821

it — or something — has come over the spirit of book-reviewing and made
it kindlier and less given to the old-fashioned slashing attack. In the old days
they sought to kill an author as far as literary reputation went. In one
instance, — that of John Keats, which we shall consider with English book-
reviewing, there were persons who believed that a review killed him in body
as well as in spirit.

Thackeray describes an incident of the old-school criticism, in the novel
previously quoted:

"The person of all most cruelly mauled was Pen himself. His verses
had not appeared with his own name in the Spring Annual, but under an
assumed signature. As he had refused to review the book, Shandon had
handed it over to Mr. Bludyer, with directions to that author to dispose of it.
And he had done so effectually. Mr. Bludyer, who was a man of very con-
siderable talent, and of a race which, I believe, is quite extinct in the press
of our time, had a certain notoriety in his profession, and reputation for
savage humour. He smashed and trampled down the poor spring flowers
with no more mercy than a bull would have on a parterre; and having cut up
the volume to his heart's content, went and sold it at a bookstall, and purchased
a pint of brandy with the proceeds of the volume."

Some of the persons who find fault with reviewing as it exists today,
seem to Imply that the all-important thing is that bad books should be blamed.
They forget that it is equally important that good books should be praised
and their authors encouraged.

In our every-day speech we have almost lost the primary meaning of
the word "criticism." We seldom think of it in its real sense. — a "judgment."
Almost invariably we use it in its third or fourth meaning: "harsh or un-
favorable judgment." I once observed a certain Freshman class in a college,
whose members gave a curious illustration of this habit of thinking that there
is only one kind of criticism, and that unfriendly. They were given, on an
examination paper in English composition, an extract from a book, and told
to criticise it, to comment upon the use of words, and so on. Now, the pas-
sage was an exquisite example of Stevenson's style, — from the description
of sleeping outdoors, in "Travels with a Donkey." But the Freshmen did
not know that; it was not labelled in any way. So they seized their fountain-
pens as if they were harpoons, and proceeded to lay about them with a heavy
hand. They tore that beautiful bit of English to shreds and tatters, and
accused the author of every literary atrocity known to the text-book. They
threw the fragments upon the ground — figuratively speaking — and danced

upon them. Then they sat back and wondered why they didn't get better marks
in the examination I

It is easy to smile at them, but are not all of us more or less like them?
Do we not judge too much by external evidence, by the surroundings rather
than the thing itself ? ' You will remember the dramatic critics in "Fanny's
First Play," who stood about and positively refused to give any opinion about
the play until they knew who had written it. It's absurd, they said, to ask
us whether it is a good play or not. How can we tell, until we know the
dramatist's name?

Has it ever occurred to you to wonder what might happen to some of
the greatest classics of literature if they could suddenly appear to us unattended
by their reputations? Suppose that the mighty name of Shakespeare was
totally unknown, that the world had never seen nor heard of his plays. Then
suppose that somebody discovered the plays and published them. I think
I can see, in my mind's eye, some of the comments they would provoke in
certain cautious publications. Hgw the "sensationalism" of the last act of
"Hamlet" would be deplored ! Do you fancy that our Library Association's
Book-List would approve "Othello"?

§7
There is still another matter which it is well for librarians to remember.
When we demand absolute frankness of criticism of books it may be whole-
some for us to ask: do we get absolute frankness of criticism about our own
work ? Or do we get comment tempered and softened by the desire to speak
kindly of our own colleagues and associates ? So long as the latter is true, is
it not a little unreasonable for us to expect a stem and uncompromising im-
partiality from writers of book-reviews, and from editors, toward the authors
of books ? For they — reviewers and editors — are often upon the same terms
of association, acquaintance, or friendship with authors, as the writers in
library magazines are with other librarians. Human nature has its way in
both cases.

Finally, it is important not to exaggerate the effect of an unfavorable
book-review, nor to overestimate the publisher's fear of such a review. The
publisher who wishes to sell his books in large numbers (we speak sometimes

V Google

BOOK-REVIEWS 823

of this natural wish as if there were something reprehensible about it!) does
not care a great deal whether one of his books is praised or blamed so lorig as
it is not ignored. He would far rather see it given a column of stinging abuse
than to have it turned off with a few lines of faint praise, I think you
will agree that you would rather see a column of blame allotted to a book
which you had written, than to feel that the critic and editor thought it
was of no particular importance one way or the other. So far as commercial
success is concerned, unfavorable reviews may now and then spoil a book's
chance of success, as they certainly may help to ruin a play; but there are
too many proofs that the popular novelist can lau^ at the bitterest attacks
which reviewers may make. Marie CorelH wore, like a sort of garland, whole
pages of adverse criticism, sneering comment, ridicule and abuse. She pointed
to her enormous sales, her thousands of readers, and her place firm in the
hearts of the indiscriminating crowd. When one of Mrs. Florence Barclay's
sweety-sweety novels was published, almost every newspaper in New York
praised it. The conspicuous exception was the Evening Post. The publishers
quoted a few lines of praise, some of it laid on exceedingly thick, from all
these papers, then tacked to the end, in a prominent position, a few lines of
ridicule from the Post, and printed the whole thing as an advertisement in a
number of newspapers, including the Post itself.

§9

In regard to the other comment of Mr. Perry, about American book-
reviewing — that it lacks candor, trained intelligence, and distinction — that
is true, but not novel. Many of the attacks upon book-reviewing are unduly
severe, Mr. Thompson, in the article in the Atlantic Monthly which I have
quoted, was inclined to be rather strict with the book-reviewers, as well as
with authors, who do not maintain the dignity of literature and keep small
personalities about themselves out of print. A number of years ago. Pro-
fessor Brander Matthews wrote an essay called "Literary Criticism and Book-
Reviewing."' He speaks of those who make ". . .a three-fold assumption:
— first, that it is the chief duty of the critic to tear the mask from impostors
and to rid the earth of the incompetent; second, that the critics of the past
accepted this obligation and were successful in its accomplishment; and third,
that there is to-day, at the beginning of the twentieth century, a special need
for this corrective criticism."

Mr. Matthews denies the truth of all these assumptions. His article is
extremely sensible, and valuable to read in connection with Bliss Perry's indict-
ments of book-reviewing. Although written some years before Mr. Perry's
articles, it is in the nature of an answer to them, stating, as it does, the other
side. He wrote in reply to a British author of a volume of Ephemera Critica,
and at the beginning makes the distinction, which I have already quoted
between book-reviews and literary criticism:

"The aim of book- re vie wing is to engage in discussion of our contem-
poraries, and this is why book-reviewing, which is a department of journalism,
must be carefully distinguished from criticism, which is a department of litera-
ture. This is why also we need not worry ourselves overmuch about the
present condition of book-reviewing, since it has not all the importance which
the British author of Ephemera Critica has claimed for it and since it can
really have very little influence upon the future of literature. As a fact, the
condition of book-reviewing is not now so lamentable as the British author"
has declared, and it is not indeed really worse than it was in earlier years;
but it might be very much worse than it is, and very much worse than it ever
was, without its having any unfortunate influence on the development of a
single man of genius. Indeed, genius never more^urely reveals itself as
genius than in its ability to withstand the pressure of contemporary fashion
and go on doing its own work in its own way."

In regard to, the notion that there were so many great book-reviewers in
the golden past, Mr. Matthews relates this experience:

"In my leisurely youth, when I had all the time there was, I bought a
forty-year file of a London weekly of lofty pretensions and of a certain an-
tiquity, since it has now existed for more than threescore years and ten; and
in the course of a twelvemonth I turned every page of those solid tomes, not
reading every line, of course, but not neglecting a single number. The book-
reviewing was painfully uninspired, with little brilliancy in expression and
with little insight in appreciation; it was disfigured by a certain smug com-
placency which I find to be still a characteristic of the paper whenever I chance
now to glance at its pages. But as I worked through this contemporary record
of the unrolling of British literature from 1830 to 1870, what was most sur-
prising was the fact that only infrequently indeed did the book-reviewers
bestow full praise on the successive publications which we now hold to be
among the chief glories of the Victorian reign, and that the books most
lavishly eulogized were often those that have now sunk into oblivitm."

What kind of book-reviews does a librarian need so far as her own work
is concerned ? By that I mean, what kind will give her the readiest help when
she is in doubt as to whether to buy a certain book or not? It is plain that
she can scarcely use the graceful essay which must be read from beginning
to end in order to find the critic's opinion. It should be rather short and
concise. It is perhaps easier to find a satisfactory review of a work of fact,
than of the various branches of imaginative literature, such as fiction, poetry,
and the drama. After all, book-reviews of contemporary works in these classes
of literature are not much more than expressions of personal opinion. And
the personal opinion of a young man who will graduate from Columbia next
year, or of a girl who graduated from Bryn Mawr last year, is not necessarily
any more useful to us than our own judgment, supposing that we can get time
and opportunity to form judgment. It is not necessarily decisive even though
it comes to us through the pages of such respectable papers as The Nation or
The Dial. This matter of opinion, of like and dislike In belles lettres is very
difficult.

"Aubrey de Vere," wrote Professor Lounsbury,* "tells us of three con-
versations he held the very same day on the very same subject with three
different authors. Two of them were men of great poetic genius, the third
was a man of distinct poetic talent. The topic of discussion in each case was
the poetry of Burns, The difference of opinion expressed struck him as
remarkable. The first with whom he talked was Tennyson. 'Read the ex-
quisite songs of Burns,' exclaimed that poet, 'in shape each of them has the
perfection of the berry; in light the radiance of the dewdrop; you forget for
its sake those stupid things, his serious pieces.'

"A little later in the day he met Wordsworth. Again the conversation .
fell on Burns. 'Wordsworth,' he writes, 'praised him even more vehemently
than Tennyson had done, as the great genius who had brought poetry back to
nature.' "Of course," he said in conclusion, "I refer to his serious efforts,
such as 'The Cotter's Saturday Night'; those foolish little amatory songs of
his one has to forget," ' On the evening of this same day he chanced to fall
in with Henry Taylor. Him he told of the different views expressed by the
two poets. The author of "Philip Van Artevelde," disposed of them both very
summarily. 'Burns' exquisite songs and Burns' serious efforts are to me alike
tedious and disagreeable reading,' was the comment he made.

"The story is somewhat singular" Professor Lounsbury continues, "but

after all it is much more singular for the rapidity with which the expression
of these varying views chanced to follow one another than for the views ex-
pressed. The disparagement of great poetic work by writers, themselves of
great poetic power, and likewise the extraordinary praise lavished by them
upon very ordinary verse, are both significant facts which can hardly fail to
arrest at times the attention of the student of literature. The history of letters,
in truth, abounds in singular judgments which men of genius have passed upon
the productions of other men of genius. It is often hard to tell which is the
more remarkable — the mean opinion which these entertain of what the rest
of the world has approved, or the admiration they have or profess to have
for what the rest of the world refuses to regard with favor.

"Many will recall the lofty scorn which Matthew Arnold poured upon
the men who for generations had admired and enjoyed Macaulay's 'Lays of
Ancient Rome.' He proclaimed that a man's power to detect the ring of
false metal in these pieces was a good measure of his fitness to give an opinion
about poetical matters at all. The self-sufficiency of this utterance is as
delicious as its positiveness. These 'Lays', it may be added, had been welcomed
with such intense enthusiasm by Christopher North, the critical lawgiver of
the generation of their appearance, that Macaulay felt himself constrained to
make a personal acknowledgment of the cordiality of the greeting his work
had met from the then all-powerful reviewer who had been one of his extreme
political adversaries."

Professor Lounsbury points out the fallibility of authors as critics: "The
possession of creative power is indeed far from implying the possession of
a corresponding degree of critical judgment. In literature all of us have our
preferences and our aversions. Perhaps even more than their inferiors are
men of genius susceptible to feelings of this nature and to the errors of judg-
ment caused by them. The revelation of their likes and dislikes is in conse-
quence apt to be more entertaining than edifying. . ."

"For the truth is that in the case of works of the imagination the settled
judgment of the great body of cultivated men is infinitely superior to the
judgment of any one man, however eminent. Very wisely that body will not
in the long run, nor ordinarily even in the short run, accept the decision of any
self-constituted censor which runs counter to its own conclusions. A genuinely
great production will in the end find its own public which in time will become
the public; and that public will not be deterred from admiring it by the most
bitter attacks of the ablest writers in the most influential periodicals. In his
estimate of works involving special knowledge, the individual wisely defers
to the authority of experts. In works of the imagination, however, every man
of culture is in varying degrees an expert himself."

§ 11

To sum up: Book-reviewing is to be distinguished from literary criticism.
The former is a branch of journalism; the latter a branch of literature. Book-
reviewing suffers from haste in the work of the reviewer, lack of intelligence
and from commercialism, — the control of the advertiser upon the literary
department. Yet the commercialism is only one fault among many, and it is
part of a great national evil, . It must be borne in mind that criticising is
judging, which does not mean blaming altogether. "The fine art of praising"
is sometimes part of a critic's duty.

It is a mistake to assume that book-reviewing of to-day has degenerated
from a noble past. The reviewing of former days was faulty and unsatisfac-
tory, often absurdly savage in its attacks. This will be shown still further
in a discussion of English reviews.

Book-reviews for a librarian's use must be prompt, they ought to be brief
and clear; they should express an opinion. On imaginative literature they are
most apt to be doubtful, and the librarian should be able to judge for herself.

§1 ■

It is said that the first English review of a book in the modern sense
was a tract, by John Dennis, on a fashionable epic of the moment, published
in 1696. It is not necessary, however, for us to go back so far as that, and
it is impossible in an hour's talk, to make an attempt to study English book-
reviewing from its beginning. It is worth while to look back about a hun-
dred years, and to consider what is undoubtedly the most famous period
of book-reviewing in the English language. Not only do the famous book-
reviewers, their writings and their victims, illustrate a number of points which
are important to-day, but the men and the period are intensely interesting in
themselves. The time is that of the opening years of the nineteenth century,
when Europe was convulsed, exactly as it is now, in a terrible struggle to rid
itself of an enemy of human liberty. We know to-day that the period is famous
in English literature, and that, so far as creative work is concerned, there
were giants in those days. The age of reason had passed, and the tide of
romance was flowing. Scott was soon to start writing his novels; Coleridge,
Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron, Keats, and Southey were publishing their poems.

§2

The Edinburgh Review, the first of the famous book-reviewing maga-
zines, was founded in 1802.' From the beginning Francis Jeffrey was its
editor. He held that post for twenty-seven years, and he continued to write
for it for about forty-six years. He would be personally interesting if for no
other reason, as the author of one of the most famous book-reviews ever
printed, — that on Wordsworth's "The Excursion." He was a young Scotch
advocate, educated at the Universities of Glasgow and Oxford, and practic-
ing law in his native city of Edinburgh. He was invited to conduct the
Review, and did so until 1829, when he was appointed Chief of the Faculty
of Advocates and resigned his post to Macvey Napier. Jeffrey became Lord
Advocate of Scotland in 1830; doubtless a very important post, but one chiefly
interesting to readers of English novels because of Lord Advocate Grant and
his fascinating daughter, who appear in the pages of "David Balfour." Later
Jeffrey became a judge, as Lord Jeffrey, and sat upon the bench until his
death in 1850. He was beyond compare the arch-critic of the old school,
dictator of literature, who uttered his judgments with the authority of a
Pope speaking ex cathedra. Physically he was a small man, but when he sat
in the chair of the editor of the Edinburgh, he roared like all the bulls of
Bashan. Thomas Carlyle speaks of him as delicate and attractive, a dainty
little figure hardly five feet four inches in height.

In considering the fact that Jeffrey frequently treated authors very much
as though they were guilty prisoners at the bar, and he the judge upon the
bench, wearing the black cap and about to pronounce sentence of execution,
it must not be thought that he was entirely a wielder of the club. It is true,
that he believed one of his principal duties was, as Mr. Gosse says, to put an
extinguisher on small men of letters. But his standards were those of the
eighteenth century; he did not understand the nineteenth. Campbell was an
eighteenth century poet, and so he praises Campbell. Byron, Keats, and
Wordsworth were nineteenth century poets, and consequently fell under his
displeasure. He did not understand the new spirit, and thought whatever
was new was surely bad. He finds something to blame in Keats, but also
something to praise. In a review of Keats's poems in 1820 he says that he
has been exceedingly struck with the genius which they display and the spirit
of poetry which breathes through all their "extravagance." Here, surely, is
a case of criticism repeating itself. Do not the comments of Lord Jeffrey

Upon Keats sound very much like those of some staid book-reviewer to-day
deahng with such rebels as Vachell Lindsay or the author of that extraordinary
book, "The Spoon River Anthology" ?

In Lord Jeffrey's career there is a case of a book-revievir leading to a
duel, as in the century before, when precise mannered English gentlemen
fought with rapiers over the correct scansion of a line of poetry. Jeffrey
reviewed the poems of Thomas Moore, with the result that arrangements
were made for a duel between the reviewer and the poet. The police, however,
had orders to interrupt and there was no bloodshed.

The solemnity and finality of his sentence of literary death pronounced
upon Wordsworth, can hardly be surpassed. Beginning with the famous
sentence "This will never do." Lord Jeffrey seems to believe that he has
retired the poet to obscurity forever. The "Lyrical Ballads," he says, wavered
between "silliness and pathos," but "The Excursion" makes him perceive that
"the case of Mr. Wordsworth. . .is now manifestly hopeless; and we give him
up as altogether incurable." He had found in Wordsworth "occasional gleams
of tenderness and beauty," but now he must consider him "finally lost to the
good cause of poetry."

As we all know, Wordsworth frequently wrote things marked by bathos
and absurdity, but if we consider the reputation accorded to his work as a
whole, it is only necessary to read Jeffrey's review (in the Edinburgh, Novem-
ber, 1814), to recognize truth in the saying that "the whole history of criticism
has been a triumph of authors over critics."

Lord Brougham was an associate of Jeffrey in the foundation of the
Edinburgh Review, and is said to have written eighty articles for the first
twenty numbers of it. In later years, Walter Savage Landor spoke of the
better spirit which then prevailed in the Edinburgh from the generosity and
genius of Macaulay. "But," says Landor, "in the days when Brougham and
his 'confederates' were writers in it, more falsehood and more malignity marked
its pages than in any other journal in the language." Brougham (or possibly
Jeffrey) was the author of the review of Byron's "Hours of Idleness."

Byron published it in 1807. It was praised in the Critical Review, of
September, 1807, and abused in the first number of the Satirist. In January,
1808, the famous criticism came out in the Edinburgh Review. It has been
said of the review that its want of critical acumen is less obvious than the
needless cruelty of the wound inflicted upon a boy's harmless vanity. Byron
was deeply hurt. He had already under way a satirical poem, which he now
carefully polished. "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers," appeared in the
middle of the following March and at once made a hit.

This is the way he countered upon the Edinburgh critics:

A man must serve his time to every trade
Save censure — critics all. are ready made.
Take hackneyed jokes from Miller, got by rote,
With just enough of learning to misquote;
A mind well skilled to find or forge a fault;
A turn for punning, call it Attic salt;
To Jeffrey go, be silent and discreet,
His pay is just ten sterling pounds per sheet:
Fear not to lie, 't will seem a sharper hit;
Shrink not from blasphemy, 't will pass for wit;
Care not for feeling — pass your proper jest.
And stand a critic, hated yet caressed.

And shall we own such judgment ? no — as soon

Seek roses in December — ice in June;

Hope constancy in wind, or corn in chaff;

Believe a woman or an epitaph.

Or any other thing that's false, before

You trust in critics, who themselves are sore;

Or yield one single thought to be misled

By Jeffrey's heart, or Lambe's Boeotian head. -

To these young tyrants, by themselves misplaced.
Combined usurpers on the throne of taste;
To these, when authors bend in humble awe,
And hail their voice as truth, their word as law —
While these are censors, 't would be sin to spare;
While such are critics, why should I forbear ?
But yet, so near all modern worthies run,
'Tis doubtful whom to seek, or whom to shun;
Nor know we when to spare, or where to strike,
Our bards and censors are so much alike.

Then should you ask me, why I venture o'er
The path which Pope and Gifford trod before;
H not yet sickened, you can still proceed:

"But hoMl" exclaims a friend, — "here's some neglect:

Indeed ! — 'tis granted, faith ! — but what care I ?
Better to err with Pope, than shine with Pye.

Another founder of the Edinburgh, and one of its reviewers was Sydney
Smith, the only one of the trio, apparently, who was really witty. He poked
fun at Miss Hannah More in very much the same way that a light and amus-
ing writer of to-day, say, Mr. E. S. Martin of Life, might enjoy jesting about
some serious reformer, such as Dr. Anna Shaw.

The second of the famous reviews was the Quarterly, founded in 1809,
with William Gif ford as its editor. Gifford, it is said, undoubtedly established
the reputation of this magazine for scurrility. He was known as the man
who did the "butchering business" in political journalism. His bludgeon was
far heavier than Jeffrey's. Hazlitt declared that Gifford believed that mod-
ern literature should wear the fetters of classical antiquity; that truth is to
be weighed in the scales of opinion and prejudice; that power is equivalent
to right; that genius is dependent on rules; that taste and refinement of
language consist in word-catching. Gifford's review of Keats's "Endymion,"
called forth Byron's famous apostrophe to:

John Keats, who was killed off by one critique

Just as he really promised something great,
If not intelligible, without Greek

Contrived to talk about the gods of late
Much as they might have been supposed to speak.

Poor fellow ! his was an untoward fate;
'Tis strange the mind, that very fiery particle,
Should let itself be snuf f d out by one article.

The attacks on Keats appeared both in Blackwood's Magazine and the
Quarterly Review. The Blackwood article was Number 4 of the series bear-
ing the signature "Z" on "The Cockney School of Poetry." The previous
articles of the same series had been a series of preposterous insults directed

against Leigh Hunt. Mr. Sidney Colvin thinks it is not quite certain who
wrote them, but that there is every reason to believe that they were the work
of John Wilson, suggested and perhaps revised by the publisher, William
Blackwood. The Edinburgh critics attacked Hunt's opinions, his weaknesses
as a writer, and proceeded to gross accusations of vice and infamy. The
articles on Hunt included several allusions to "Johnny Keats," representing
him as a puling satellite of Hunt. The attack was merely a tirade of the sort
which one associates with backwoods journalism of half a century ago.

It begins with the words: "Our hatred and contempt of Leigh Hunt,"
and proceeds to accuse him of "low-born insolence," a "leprous crust of self-
conceit," and "loathsome vulgarity." This is the man who is remembered
to-day very largely for his innocent rhyme: "Jenny Kissed Me," and for "Abou
Ben Adhem"t But Blackivood's speaks of Hunt's "polluted muse." "We
were the first," writes the reviewer, "to brand with a burning iron the false
face of this kept-mistress of a demoralizing incendiary. We tore off her
gaudy veil and transparent drapery, and exhibited the painted cheeks and
writhing limbs of the prostitute."

It seems difficult to believe that Lockhart, son-in-law of Sir Walter Scott
and the author of the biography of Scott, could have written the attack
on Keats. — the fourth of the series. Mr. Sidney Colvin, however, thinks
that it was all but absolutely proved that Lockhart was really the author of
it. Then followed the articles in The Quarterly Review, on Keats's "Endy-
mion," probably written by Gifford, the editor. The review, it has been said,
is quite in Gif ford's manner, — that of a man insensible to the higher charm
of poetry, incapable of judging it except by mechanical rule and precedent,
and careless of the pain he gives. Considering the perfect modesty and good
judgment with which Keats had in his preface pointed out the weakness of
his own work, both attacks are inexcusable,

"Endymion," says the critic, is "calm, settled, imperturbable, drivelling
idiocy." {It will be well to remember that the next time you hear vigorous
denunciation of a contemporaneous book, ) The review ends with the famous
cruel reference to Keats — who is called a "starving apothecary," — "so back
to the shop, Mr. John, back to plasters, pills, and ointment boxes, &c."

The poet's friends arose in his defense, and there was a warfare of articles,
ending, so far as two of the writers were concerned, in some bloodshed. John
Scott, the editor of the London Magazine, was shortly afterwards killed in a
duel by a friend of IjDckhart. The duel arose from these very quarrels about
the Blackwood articles. Keats took the attacks upon himself very calmly,
although there is little doubt that he was for a while immensely discouraged

by them. He said that he would write no more poetry, but try to serve the
world in some other way. Afterwards he recovered his poise, and fortunately
for English literature, continued to write. Many of his friends, however,
fully believed that his early death was caused more or less directly by these
savage onslaughts. Byron's jingle is well known:

Who killed John Keats?
"I," said The Quarterly,
So savage and Tartarly,
"I killed John Keats."

Considering the nature of the disease from which Keats suffered, it is not
at all improbable that these criticisms may have indirectly hastened his death.
He spoke about the subject with noble simplicity:

"I cannot but feel indebted to those gentlemen who have taken my part.
As for the rest, I begin to get a little acquainted with my own strength and
weakness. Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose
love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
My own domestic criticism has given me pain without comparison beyond
what Blackwood or the Quarterly could possibly inflict: and also when I feel
I am right, no external praise can give me such a glow as my own solitary
reperception and ratification of what is fine,"

And again: "There have been two letters in my defence in the Chronicle,
and one in the Examiner, copied from the Exeter paper, and written by
Reynolds. I don't know who wrote those in the Chronicle. This is a mere
matter of the moment: I think I shall be among the English Poets after my
death. Even as a matter of present interest, the attempt to crush me in the
Quarterly, has only brought me more into notice, and it is a common expres-
sion among bookmen, 'I wonder the Quarterly should cut its own throat.' "

Another critic who wrote for the Quarterly, was John Wilson Croker,
who is immortal for one remark which Macaulay made about him: "I hate
him," said Macaulay, "worse than cold boiled veal." After all, and in spite
of the animosity, rancor, and venom which characterized a good deal of the
criticism and counter-criticism of literary men in those days, it must be ad-
mitted that some of them had a power of expression which added salt to life.
Doubtless we could name public men of to-day who hate one another worse
than cold boiled veal, but few of them would have such vigorous thought and
power of expression.

Sir Walter Scott was also a critic on the Quarterly Review. Scott's criti-
cal writings usually contain something generous about every writer they have

occasion to mention. His fine and intelligent praise of Jane Austen is well
remembered. He showed therein that he appreciated the qualities in her work
which was absent in his own.

§5

The third of the great reviewing magazines, and the last one of this group
which we can consider, was Blackwood's Magasine, founded in 1817. This
has already been mentioned, in connection with the assaults upon Keats. With
Blackwood's is associated the name of John Wilson, as literary editor, from
1817 to 1852. His pen-name was Christopher North. Wilson was an athlete
as well as a man of letters, and there are fine stories of his spending the night
in drinking and singing songs with his friends, and starting out at daybreak to
run from London to Cambridge. Charles Dickens declared that he was a
patron of cock-fighting, wrestling, pugilistic contests, boat-racing and horse-
racing. "He was fond of all stimulating things," said Carlyle, "from tragic
poetry to whiskey-punch." Tennyson replied to one of Christopher North's
criticisms in the verse:

You did late review my lays,

Crusty Christopher;
You did mingle blame and praise

Rusty Christopher.
When I learnt from whence it came,
I forgave you all the blame

Musty Christopher

I could not forgive the praise

Fusty Christopher!

I have not dwelt upon this side of the famous reviews in order to make
out that they were altogether bad and untrustworthy. Their violent attempts
to crush writers, whom they often entirely misunderstood or were incapable
of appreciating, were, however, the things for which they are most famous.
It is useful for us to know about their violence and their blunders, lest we
pay too much heed to the reviewers to-day. Nearly all of these old reviews
are alive to-day, — old-fashioned in appearance, bulky, and solemn, but a
good deal sweetened in temper. They are usually behind the times, and proud
of it; but they are solid and dignified. Certainly not up-to-date, from the

BOOK-REVIEWS 835

point of view of the cheaper magazines, they are, nevertheless, well edited
and authoritative. The few books which they criticise, and the long time
they take in doing it, make them of only very occasional use to librarians
seeking book-reviews.

Now, we come to the weekly reviews, of a later generation.
The Saturday Review was founded in 1855. It is not primarily a literary
review, but is of a general nature, devoted especially to politics, literature,
science and art. It is conservative, not to say high Tory, in its politics, and has
always breathed the spirit of the old universities, the established church, the
conservative party, and classical scholarship. A short story, published about
twenty years ago, contains a few sentences descriptive of the Saturday Review,
and of the mental attitude of many of its readers. One Englishman met
another sitting on a park bench somewhere in Italy. One of them pulled
a copy of the Saturday out of his pocket and began to read it, remarking that
it was the Bible of the Englishman when travelling. The other said, "Yes,
Shakespeare we have to share with the Americans; but, damn it, the Saturday
Review is all our own !"

You can hardly get the spirit of the vanished England of a generation
ago better than by turning to a volume anywhere in the 1870's or 80's. It
never approved of the United States of America; and anything, whether a
book, a man, or a custom, which hailed from this country was in its eyes
presumably wrong. So far as one can discover, the reason for this attitude
was that we have a republican form of government from which, in the view
of your fine, old, crusted Tory, no good thing can come. This attitude toward
America»was maintained in the Saturday Review until recent years, and was
still apparent as late as the outbreak of the Spanish War, in 1898. The Review
freely predicted disaster for us if we should attempt to try conclusions with
Spain, but had its predictions falsified by the outcome of the Battle of Santiago.
Inasmuch as the Tory spirit is quick to acclaim success, the Saturday Review
had to admit that the victory of the American fleet was complete, and the
action of our sailors toward their defeated enemies beyond criticism. The
editor seemed to stutter as he uttered his praise, and it was with obvious relief
that he turned, in the next paragraph, to condemn the bad conduct of the
French mariners on the sinking liner, "La Bourgogne," for France had been
a hereditary enemy as well as this country. It is looking back into English
history to remember these old enmities and animosities. Things are changed
to-day !

The Saturday Review kept up the tradition of a severe, not to say savage,
critical journal. It denounced Thackeray for his lectures on "The Four
Georges," and made violent onslaughts upon Dickens. In the number for
January 3, 1857, it contained an article on Dickens as a politician, in which
it objected to the novelist's attacks upon the abuses of his day almost exactly
as some journals now denounce the novelists who refuse to flatter the powers
that be in politics and religion. "Who," asks the Saturday Review, "takes
Mr. Dickens seriously? Is it not as foolish to estimate his melodramatic
and sentimental stock in trade gravely as it would be to undertake a refuta-
tion of the jests of the clown in a Christmas pantomime ?" It solemnly pro-
tests against Dickens's legitimate satirization of the Court of Chancery in
"Bleak House," and objects to the picture of a government office as repre-
sented by the Circumlocution Office in "Little Dorrit." It made that final
and crushing charge against Dickens, that he only wanted to sell his books.
The Saturday admitted, in the manner of its kind, that no doubt there are
great abuses in the countrj-, and much that wants reform in Parliament and
in the law. And then it went on, exactly as its prototypes do to-day, and
will do so long as the world lasts, to object to the manner of the criticism
and to imply that nobody has any right to criticise except the persons criti-
cised. Consequently, it would follow that there should never be any criticism
of anything! In a final delightful paragraph it declares that Dickens is
utterly destitute of any kind of solid requirements, absolutely ignorant of
law and politics; does not know his own meaning; does not see the conse-
quences of his own teaching; and is unable to play any part in any movement
more significant than that of the fly, and generally a gad-fly, on the wheel.
Again, speaking of "Bleak House" and "Little Dorrit," the Saturday Review
remarked that they were both "paltry, dry bundles of nonsense."

As a result of its attacks on various writers, including, by the way, Long-
fellow, Froude, Lytton, and the Kingsleys, Charles and Henry, it became
variously called "The Saturday Snarl," "The Saturday Scorpion." "The Satur-
day Slasher," "The Saturday Butcher," and "The Saturday Reviler." In
spite of its frequent savagery, it has maintained a high level of scholarship;
while fear of its attacks upon faulty English and slipshod writing have prob-
ably had a good effect. On the other hand, Mr. James Grant, the writer of
a severe criticism of the Saturday Review, declared sarcastically that its abuse
was desirable, for that the very fact that it praised an author was presumptive
proof that he was a man of inferior merit.

BOOK-REVIEWS

The Athenaettm, another weekly," was founded in 1828 by James Silk
Buckingham, who aimed, he said, to make it "like the Athenaeum of antiquity,
a resort of the most distinguished philosophers, historians, orators, and poets
of the day." The Athenaeum, unlike the Saturday Review, is first and fore-
most a book-review periodical; its sub-title is "Journal of English and Foreign
Literature. Science, the Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama." It has never been
famous for severe attacks upon writers, and when it celebrated its seventieth
birthday in 1898, declared with apparent truthfulness that it had from the
first opposed such criticism as that which the Edinburgh Review had employed
against Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats. Writers like Charles Lamb, Walter
Savage Landor, Thomas Hood. Thomas Carlyle, Leigh Hunt, HazHtt, and
Mrs. Browning, have been numbered among its contributors.

The War, which is blamed for so many things — from the rise in price
of Russian caviare (from the Mississippi) to the increased cost of paper and
printing materials — is probably responsible for the change to monthly form
of The Athenaeum. Such a change instantly deprives it of some part of its
value to librarians, — the timeliness of its reviews. Before the change I
should have been inclined to recommend it as perhaps the best English book-
reviewing periodical for the small library which can only subscribe to one.
Many librarians might think it still the best for such a library, and they may
be right. For The Athenaeum has begun to cater to librarians even more than
does The Dial in this country. Working in harmony with the Library Associa-
tion, it publishes each month an annotated list of new books, arranged by the
Decimal Classification, with the best books for libraries marked by a star. The
last is done by a "Committee of Specialists" from the Library Association.
In other words, this part of the periodical looks like the A. L. A. Book List.
It is a straightforward adoption of certain American library methods, and
The Athenaeum has been frank in its admiration of many of these methods.
We should, I suppose, be complimented. It is probably old fogyism which
makes me believe I like The Athenaeum better as it was.

Do not think, however, that its value has been decreased by this work
by and for librarians. On the contrary, it is only the lessened frequency of
issue which, generally speaking, could be lamented. Its reviewing work is of
a high average, and it is, so far as I know, never bitter nor violent in spirit.
Its typography and appearance are pleasing.

In a small library, the librarian may have to prefer one of the periodicals
of a general nature, and so may choose The Spectator, with its traditionally
sympathetic attitude toward America, or The Nation (London), Both of
these weeklies treat book-reviewing seriously; in both, the reviews are usually
good, sometimes excellent. Whether an American librarian should select a
periodical because it is friendly in its tone toward this country is a question.
With our easy-going characteristics, euphemistically called "optimism," a
steady course of praise is not necessarily suggested.

A number of new reviews, rather too many to discuss separately, have
come into existence, as some of the older ones (like The Academy) have
passed out. These devote varying amounts of space to book-reviews. They
are chiefly useful for their championship of "new" and radical ideas, — about
verse forms, about freedom in speech, or rather in writing, on "sex" subjects,
and about politics and religion. They are useful because of their champion-
ship of what is supposed to be new, and they are also to be distrusted for the
same reason. In reading them it is often apparent that their liberalism is
but toryism in another guise, — "What I like is good, and what you hke is
bad," Their narrow-mindedness is sometimes as remarkable as their tolerance,
and their originality frequently consists in taking an ancient maxim and tipping
it upside down. Twenty-five years ago the paradoxes of Oscar Wilde were
a new note in English letters; to-day they are old-fashioned. It does not take
courage now to defend vers libres among educated people, nor to speak a good
word for the "free" novel. It is conventional to do so. The brave man, the
really "advanced" thinker would be the one who would come boldly to the
defence of the despised "Mid-Victorian" period in art and letters,

THE GYPSIES OF MONASTIR'

By Rev. Lewis Bond

I FBOU Manusciipts in The New York Public Librakv
By Gbokce F. Black, Ph.D.

rHE two letters printed here were addressed to the late Albert Thomas
Sinclair by the Rev. Lewis Bond, American missionary at Monostir. The
originals are now with the Sinclair mss. in The New York Public Library,
and are printed here exactly as written by Mr. Bond. The two lists of words
which accompanied the letters have been united into one and arranged in
alphabetic order. No key to the pronunciation is given by Mr. Bond, but pre-
sumably the letters have their normal English sounds. From the allusion to
the name Rome in the second letter it would appear that at least one other
letter is lacking.

December 7th, 1899

There are many Gypsies of good standing in this region who live in
permanent dwellings. Some are workers in iron, and many are porters and
common labourers. The head of the fountain-makers and repairers in this
city is a Gypsy. He is a member of our Protestant church. These citizen
Gypsies do not speak the Gypsy language. Here they speak Turkish or Bul-
garian. In Resen, fifteen miles from here, they speak Albanian. In religion
they appear to be about equally divided between Mohammedans and Christians.
The wandering Gypsies are largely horse-traders, iron-workers on a small
scale, and be^ars. The old women tell fortunes. In both classes music is
prominent. Young women, gaudily dressed, accompanied by an old woman,
go about singing and dancing at private residences. The people are usually
well built and walk erect with an elastic step. As to language, I give you a
few words in use here.

The Gypsies are supposed by people here to have come originally from
Egypt, and they are called Gupty (g hard and tt = you). The Turkish govern-
ment writes them down in passports, etc., as Copts. Another quite common
name, but more commonly used in Bulgaria and eastern Macedonia and Thrace
is Tsigany. The Gypsies rather prefer this name. The citizen Gypsies do
not like either name, hoping to outlive the memory of their peculiar blood.

October 8th, 1901

I enclose a few Gypsy words and phrases as per your request. I got
them from two Gypsies — an old man and a boy of seventeen years. I find
that the Gypsies are not over ready to be interviewed and so I gave a small
coin to set the tongue loose. These two live in a strictly Gypsy village a mile
from this city. The forty families in this village are all orthodox. The tent
encampment of which I send a photograph Is made up of Mohammedan
Gypsies who live in the city in winter.

In my previous letter I meant Rome to be pronounced Rom, My opinion
is that this Rom is the same as Room, which is the word always used by the
Turks for a Christian subject. The Turks call Greece, Room, and in making
out a travelling teskere for any Christian he is entered as a Room, i. e., as a
Greek orthodox. Even Protestants are thus entered.

The common opinion here is that Gypsy is equivalent to E^ptian. No
one here seems to have heard of "Little Egypt."

Macbka is the word for "cat" used by the Servians, Macedonian Bul-
garians, and Albanians. The Bulgarians in the principality use another word,
kolka. I am not acquainted with vila. But if, as you suggest, it may be pila,
I can see that perhaps in calling a cat the Servians use pila, pila, simply as a
pet term. The Bulgars say pila, pila, in addressing pets of all kinds, it being
equivalent to "dear little bird." The Turks use "my lamb" in the same way.

As to Tsigani no one can speak authoritatively it would seem. The
term is not used in this region. But I heard no other name when I resided
in Thrace, a score of years ago. I then supposed the word referred to the
musical habits of the race — their instruments keeping up a continued tsiga,
tsiga, tsiga, in which they found unceasing delight. Many of the best violinists
in Rumania are Gypsies — some of them famous.

There are many families of Gypsy origin living in this city who are
so refined as to be ashamed of their origin, and to-day they cannot speak
the Gypsy language at all. This is the case with our Gypsy colporteur. Also
the water-works superintendent. But everybody can see that they are of
undoubted Gypsy stock. There is no difference as to origin between the
settled and wandering Gypsies.

The Protestant Gypsy superintendent of water-works is employed on a
salary by the city government to inspect and keep in repair several lines of
fountain-pipes and all the street drains of the city. He is very much respected
by the authorities because of his efficiency and honesty. Many Gypsies are
living in comfort and a few are quite well off. The horse-dealers are per-

haps the most wealthy. Blacksmith ing is the favourite trade, and in this the
women often work with their husbands. The making of sieves — of skin
and wood — appears to be monopolized by the Gypsies.

I see no reason for supposing that the Turkish Gypsies were originally
of two or more kinds. The Gypsy of these parts does not wander any great
distance.

The Gypsy is found here and there in Albania, but not in large numbers.
The Albanians call them Evgit (sing.), Evgittis (pi), Egypt? The Albanian
Gypsy works harder and begs less than the Macedonian Gypsy.

Bulgarian merchants who have much to do with the Gypsy get the Gypsy
numbers easily. The Gypsy has his own numerals from one to five and then
the Greek does service largely.

Since writing the above I have questioned one of the boarders in our
girls' school about vtla, vtla. She is from Old Servia, which is now a part of
Turkey. Her statement is that vila is used in calling ducks, and ptla in calling
poultry. The cat is tndchka, whether big or little, and the Servians, like the
Bulgarians, call them with mats^, matsS.

You refer to the reported dissolute habits of the settled Gypsies. It is
true that there are loose characters among them, but it is my opinion that they
are more chaste than the Slavic races. The wandering Gypsies are said to
be exceedingly correct.

I have failed to secure photographs of the wandering Gypsies. A pho-
tographer promised to get me some pictures, but hasn't kept his promise. I
bargained with a Gypsy from the near village to bring me two of his children
this week for me to photograph, but he hasn't come. I enclose an attempt I
made on a group at the tent village, but for some unexplained reason it turned
out queer. It was with great difficulty that I got them to stand, in fact I had
to bribe them with money. Yesterday the Austrian Consul called on me and
he told me that these same Gypsies utterly refused to allow him to take their
photographs. But I want to make another attempt either on them or on
the Christian Gypsy village. These villagers were living in tents exclusively
a very few years ago, when the government allowed them to build them-
selves huts.

SHERMAN GENEALOGIES

THE LIBRARY has received as a gift from the widow of the late Profes-
sor Frank Dempster Sherman, of Columbia University, his large collection
of genealogical records pertaining to the Sherman family. Professor Sher-
man, who for many years held the chair of Graphics in Columbia University,
was well known as a poet, and had devoted much time to the collection of
Sherman genealogical records. The results of his researches he preserved
in ten beautifully hand-printed loose-leaf books, relating to the various branches
of Shermans in the United States,

There are five books of "The Ancestors and Descendants of Philip Shear-
man, the First Secretary and Recorder of Rhode Island," from whom, among
other prominent persons, are descended Maj. Gen, Thomas West Sherman
and Hon, James Schoolcraft Sherman, Vice President of the United States.
In the volume on the "Descendants of Capt. John Sherman of Watertown,
Mass.," are the families of Maj. Gen. Sidney Sherman, Judge Roger Minot
Sherman and Hon. Roger Sherman, signer of the Declaration of Independence,
from whom are descended, Hon. Roger Sherman Baldwin and Hon. Simeon
Eben Baldwin, Governors of Connecticut, Hon. William Maxwell Evarts, Hon.
George Frisbie Hoar, U. S. Senators, and others. The book on "Hon. Samuel
Sherman of Stratford, Conn., and his descendants," has such names as Gen.
William Tecumseh Sherman, Secretary of State John Sherman, and Judge
Daniel Sherman of Woodbury, Conn. Another book contains, "The Descen-
dants of William Sherman 'the Pilgrim' of Marshfield, Mass,," and also "The
Descendants of William Sherman, 'Cordwainer,' of Dartmouth, Mass." Ten
generations of "The Descendants of Rev. John Sherman of Watertown,
Mass,," are recorded in another book.

In addition the collection includes two volumes on "Extracts of Sherman
Wills," and "Military Services of Shermans in the War of the American
Revolution and War of 1812." There are also several privately printed books
and pamphlets treating of the history of the family.

The appreciation in which Professor Sherman's scholarly labors were held
by those who were most familiar with them is shown in a letter by Thomas
T. Sherman, Esq., who wrote thus: "The tireless energy, patience and per-
severance with which his skillful and exhaustive researches in this field have
been conducted for many years, coupled with his great accuracy, have resulted
in the compilation by him of comprehensive and complete genealogies of
reliability and inestimable value."

WOOD-ENGRAVING TO-DAY'

By Frank Weitenkampp

THE art of engraving on wood, as it was practiced in Europe and subse-
quently in this country, has held its own for five centuries. Not with
uniform success. There were even times (in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries) when its low vitality made it appear moribund. From the begin-
ning, it has been more or less an art for the people. The early block-books
and type-printed books were illustrated with woodcuts, while separately issued
cuts further served as a factor in civilization, bringing humanity from mediae-
valism into our modern world. And from then on, to recent times, illustrated
books in various fields of learning, as well as school books and work in belles
leltres, were for the greater part decorated with wood-engravings.

When, with Thomas Bewick, near the end of the eighteenth century, there
came a complete change in method, a period ensued which in its reproductions
of paintings and other works of art finally culminated in the so-called "new
school" in the United States. No greater contrast could be imagined than the
woodcuts of the time of Diirer, cut with a knife on a plank (that is, with the
grain), in exact facsimile of the original drawing in line, and these modem
American engravings, engraved with the graver across the grain of the wood,
with a devotion to tone that lost sight of the line per se.

In the old woodcuts the engraver treated the block as a white surface on
which form and shadow were to be indicated in lines cut in relief, to be inked,

and to print black. In the modern wood-engraving, the block is dealt with
as a black surface (if an untouched block were inked it would print a solid
black), into which lines are to be cut which, being incised (not in relief) and
not catching the ink, will appear white in the print. Obviously, the proper
number of white lines will reduce the solid black to the shade of gray desired.
With the advent of the photomechanical processes, wood-engraving ap-
peared to pass. Very few of our American artists remained to carry on

the traditions of the art in reproduction: Henry Wolf (recently deceased),
Timothy Cole, and W. G. Watt. But, without going further into the question of
the cause of the decay of wood-engraving, it may be noted that, true to its
former record, the art has not died, and it is not apt to do so. It is practiced
to-day, less as a reproductive art, more as a means of direct expression for the
artist. That implies, of course, that the artist himself engraves on the block
(just as he etches on the copper plate or draws on the lithographic stone), with-
out the intervention of an engraver between him and his public. The result is
what has been called "painter-engraving," in which the artist is represented
by his own lines, and which is thus an "autographic art." It was inevitable
that this should lead away from the method of the reproductive engraver who
rendered the tones of a painting or wash-drawing by covering his block with
fine work to produce tones. Economy of means, summariness of impression
are now sought after, rather than detailed completeness of effect.

In Europe the use of the wood-block by artists, though not as widespread
— I had almost said common — as the use of copper and etching-needle, is
noteworthy. In France we encounter the magisterial vigor and swing of
Lepere, the cleverly placed blacks of Vallotton. the work of Henri Riviere
and Paul Colin, Lucien Pissarro and E. Verpilleux are more or less identified
with England, where William
Strang, Sleigh, Ricketts, Gordon
Craig, Sturge Moore and Nichol-
son express themselves with a
temperament national, yet widely
varied in its individual notes. In
Germany and Austria, Emil
Orlik, Walter Klemm, Laage,
Karl Moll, Panto, and numerous
others are proving that the possi-
bilities of vigorous simplicity
offered by the block have per-
haps a special appeal to the Teu-
tonic mind, A considerable
proportion of this work is printed
in color, printed in flat tints as
are the Japanese prints, but in
most cases showing no other
strong Japanese influence.

In our own land, the earliest
"painter-engravings" came from the very men who had helped to create that
"golden age" of reproductive engraving in America. Kingsley, Closson,
Wolf, Bernstrom, French, engraved their own conceptions on wood, — with
the completeness of effect called for by the works in tone which they usually
translated. But a small number of younger artists took up engraving on
wood in a spirit that induced simplicity in rendition of form, with either a
recurrence to the straight line-facsimile work of old ( say, by George W. Plank) ,
perhaps even with a certain archaism (as in the work of Allen Lewis), or an
indication of tone by means of flat tints. The last may be in color, as in some
of the work of Rudolph Ruzicka, who uses light tints, or Ethel Mars, or Bertha
Lum, or in the "Ipswich Prints" of Arthur W. Dow, whose application of the

Japanese method "to Western expression and use" won enthusiastic praise
from the late E. F. Fenollosa, More Japanese in feeling are the colored wood-
cuts of B. J, Olssen-Nordfeldt, and yet more so those of Miss Helen Hyde.
Howard McCormick engraved a few blocks with a rugged insistence on pic-
torial completeness, using the graver with noteworthy freedom of touch, W.

showed what could be done with the tools of the old-time poster-carver. Re-
cent exhibitions have disclosed other devotees — not all yet "arrived" nor ait
entirely balanced — of the wood-block, and of its near relative, the linoleum-
print.

In the best work produced here we find two important elements: serious-
ness of purpose and an evident understanding of the medium, of its possibili-
ties and its limits. This matter of saying your say within the proper limits,
with the proper restraint ("freedom within the law," Miss Rittenhouse puts
it, with regard to poetry), cannot be insisted on too often. It implies a basic
law in all art.

Finally, it is not without significance that some of these American artists
have had opportunity, — Ruzicka in his series of engravings of "New York,"

the Grolier Club, and Lewis in "Journeys to Bagdad," by Charles S. Brooks, —
to emphasize again the direct harmony
existing between illustrations in line
and the printed text. Wood-engraving,
since it is, like type-cutting, a relief-
process, offers a peculiarly effective proof
of this fundamental factor in book mak-
ing. We see this in the books produced
in the late fifteenth century in Germany,
and during that brilliant period of book-
illustration in Italy as that land was
passing from the fifteenth century into
the next. Men such as William Morris
in England, Joseph Sattler in Germany,
Bruce Rogers and T. M. Qeland in the
United States, have in our own times
clearly brought before us the necessity of
considering the relation of the parts of a
book to each other, leading to unity in the design of the volume. The im-
portance of this is not too generally appreciated to-day, but wood-engraving
has played its part in helping toward its realization.

- The course of book-reviewing in the United States does not offer the
striking incidents nor coherent history which may be found in Great Britain.
The latter years of the eighteenth century saw the rise in America, of a num-
ber of magazines, miscellanies, and "repositories," many of which lived for
only a few years. Some of them expired after the publication of one or two
numbers. Their names are almost universally forgotten, and are known only
to the investigator of the dry beginnings of our periodical literature,' With
the nineteenth century came the North American Review, which celebrated
its centennial in 1915. The North American was conceived as a scholarly
review, in the manner of the famous quarterlies in England and Scotland.
It did not, as a matter of fact, become a monthly until many years had passed.
Its editors were able and erudite men, and the list includes the names of
Lowell and of Charles Eliot Norton. From the first, it attracted many of
the best writers in this country. The centennial numbers reprinted contribu-
tions from its pages in the past, by writers like Edward Everett, Jared Sparks,
the dignified scholar who succeeded in editing nearly all the humanity out of
George Washington, John Adams and Longfellow. Other contributors were
Bryant, Ticknor, Daniel Webster, and George Bancroft. What is true of
the English and Scotch reviews is in part true of the North American. In its
early days, the book-reviewing section was of importance, owing to the fact
that the disproportion between the number of books reviewed and the number
published was not so great as to-day. In a current number of the North
American, out of about a hundred and sixty pages, fourteen are devoted to
book-reviews. The North American has never pretended to pay any atten-
tion to light literature, and has purposely confined its reviews to what it con-
siders more serious and important books. It has moved with the age: it no
longer publishes book- reviews of twenty or thirty pages in length. Fourteen
pages of reviews in the current number to which I referred, include notices
of six books, and these are not works published six months or a year or

far as they go, then, the book-reviews in the North American are well worth
while, but it would be folly to say that any librarian would subscribe to it
primarily for them,

Another of America's excellent magazines is, of course, the Atlantic
Monthly, younger by some decades than the North American Review, but
even more distinguished in its career. Its editors include James Russell
Lowell, William Dean Howells, and Thomas Bailey Aldrich; and the list of
its contributors reads like a biographical dictionary of American literature.
The Atlantic has had its lean years. One of its editors is said to have remarked
that his predecessor had outdone Moses, for while Moses made the Red Sea
dry, this editor had succeeded in making the Atlantic dry. Even less than the
North American, is the Atlantic Monthly concerned to-day with book-review-
ing. It is one of those periodicals quoted in the Book Review Digest, but on
looking over the last four or five numbers I saw only one article devoted to
book-reviews. This gave the writer's views on twenty-nine novels of the pre-
ceding year. It was a pleasant article, but rather an essay on the fiction of
the year, to keep the general reader posted, than a series of reviews useful to
a librarian. By the time it appeared most librarians had looked over these
novels and formed an opinion for themselves, or adopted one from some other
reviewing publication, and the books had either been rejected for purchase, or
else had been in circulation for a number of months, and were already showing
signs of wear,

The first weekly periodical of its kind to be published In this country
and to continue without break to the present day, is The Nation, founded in
1865, in New York. The first editor of The Nation, who left his personality
stamped upon it, was the late Edwin L. Godkin, a journalist of Irish birth and
education. He had high motives, strong opinions, great ability, both as a writer
and editor, and a peculiar power of sarcastic utterance. Mr. Godkin had been
a war correspondent and what he had seen of the horrors of war made him
become a lifelong advocate of international peace. He, and others, bequeathed
this advocacy to The Nation, as well as the militant attitude toward political
corruption, and sympathy with the independent spirit in politics.

James Bryce, comparing The Nation with English reviews, wrote: "The
Nation resembled the Spectator in devoting its opening pages to comments on

V Google

current events, and also in the definiteness of its political programme, while
it recalled the Saturday Review in the pungency of its tone as well as in the
excellence of its literary criticism. It was, however, no mere imitation, either
of those journals or of any other, but a new creation which brought new
elements into the American press." '

Since 1881, The Nation has been owned by the Evening Post of New
York. Much, but by no means all of its contents, appears first in that journal.
The Post (and The Nation) set high their standards of political conduct and
literary merit. Some of their critics thought that they set them impossibly
high, and that what their editors termed idealism, was instead a supercihous
and contemptuous attitude toward human weakness and human failings.

From the start. The Nation appealed to an educated audience. Its earliest
friends and contributors were connected with the colleges and universities;
its readers to-day are, in great number, members of the faculties of these
institutions. As a result, it has often applied to it the term "high-brow," — a
phrase somewhat impaired in usefulness by its frequent application to any
journal which prefers genuine news to petty gossip, a well-written book to a
"best-seller," and grammatical to slipshod English.

The Nation has kept up its tradition, not only as a foe to war, but as a
consistent advocate of the rights of the so-called inferior races, especially the
American negroes. The latter advocacy would be a natural inheritance from
its first literary editor, Wendell Phillips Garrison, as well as from abolitionists
among its founders. Its high literary standards came, in great part, from
Mr. Garrison, It has opposed a protective tariff, urged and supported reforms
of the civil service, and decried inter-collegiate athletics, or what it deemed an
over-development of them. Its views on sociological and fiscal questions are
what are termed "sound" by some, and conservative by others. One has, in
considering book-reviews, to remember the principles and the prejudices of
the magazine in which they appear. Reviewers know, or soon learn, the
traditions of a publication, and even their minor paragraphs are affected
thereby.

Writers are inclined to think of The Nation as the Sir Hubert Stanley of
American book-reviewing publications, — its approbation is praise indeed.
Some writers — and not those alone who have been slated in its pages —
regard it with dislike. You will remember the punishment reserved for the
priggish tutor in Mr. Owen Wister's "Philosophy 4": he is left "writing book-
reviews for the 'New York Evening Post.' "

Among librarians there is a respect for The Nation which sometimes
borders upon reverence. We can afford to smile at this attitude, but any
weekly periodical, of high standards, discussing as The Nation does, politics,
science, music and finance, as well as books, old and new, is almost indispens-
able for the library. It devotes a large amount of space to current reviews.
A recent number, which I pick up at random, considers twenty-one books;
and many weeks the number would be much larger than that. Its longer re-
views on special subjects, such as books about the fine arts, scientific books,
works about military and naval science (for this pacific periodical contains
many contributions from learned officers of the army and navy), and about
government and sociology, are worthy of respect. Its shorter reviews,
especially those of current fiction, are, as is almost invariably the case with
any publication, its weakest feature. A review of a current novel is frequently
nothing more than the expression of personal like or dislike, and when a re-
viewer sits down to write for The Nation his opinion upon a new novel, he is
inclined to err upon the side of fault-finding, as in another periodical he
might be too flattering. ^

•§4

"The Literary History of America," by Professor Barrett Wendell, refers
to The Dial, in Chicago, as a paper which seems at present the "most un-
biassed, good humored, and sensible organ of American criticism." We have
no weekly devoted solely to book-reviewing. We have no monthly devoted
entirely to it, as the greater part of The Bookman is devoted to general literary
articles, and to paragraphs about authors. The Dial, which appears fort-
nightly, is, I think, the only publication of the kind in the United States; and
it has been pursuing its pleasant and dignified career for about thirty-six
years, most of the time under the editorship of the late Francis F. Browne.
It appears to be conducted on the theory that a paper may avoid being fussy
or pedantic and still not be deficient in scholarship, and that it may dis-
criminate between good and bad literary work without any note of hostility
or ill humor. To be sure, one sometimes misses in it the amusing and brilliant
flashes of malice which enliven other periodicals, and although it never sinks
below a certain level, it seldom rises far above it. The Dial has a respectably
high average which it strikes year in and year out. This is true at any rate
for the last decade, which is about as far back as my personal experience of it
goes.

A recent number contains two reviews of a page or more in length, three
longer articles which review in groups a number of books, — works on govern-
ment, biography, and the more important novels. Eleven other new books are
treated more briefly, but probably adequately, in about half a page apiece.
This number opened with two general articles on literary subjects, and
four pages of comment upon books and reading, and upon libraries and
librarians. (For this literary magazine gave especial recognition to librarians
before The Athenaeum did so.) It closes with brief notes and news, and a
long list of the titles of recent books. This was a smaller number of The
Dial, not one of the special issues which appear in the height of the publishing
seasons.

It is hardly necessary to speak at length of The Bookman (New York),
an illustrated monthly magazine "of literature and life." It is now in its
forty-fourth volume, and like all magazines has varied in quality. A custom
which it followed for a number of years was to group some of the novels of
the month in one article and review them under such a heading as "The
Personal Equation, and Twelve Novels of the Month," or "The Note of Pes-
simism, and the Novels of the Month," This style of book-reviewing seems
always to appeal to reviewers who take themselves rather seriously, as it
gives a touch of scientific literary criticism to their work. It often helps to
make an agreeable article for the general reader, but it is apt to be confusing
to librarians who wish specific comment upon a certain book. If in one or
two of the novels there is really nothing to which the phrase "the personal
equation" especially applies, the reviewer must needs distort that novel or
color his review of it in such a way as to make it seem to apply. The Bookman
has enlisted the services of many competent reviewers; as a whole it is always
readable, and it possesses a sense of humor.

§6

The publications which we are considering now are so familiar to Ameri-
can librarians that it is unnecessary, if not impertinent, to dwell long upon
them. The reputation for kindliness in the reviews published in the Neu/
York Times Book Review is well established among librarians. The excellence
of many of its longer, signed reviews is also a point to be remembered.

There are probably a hundred newspapers in the United States which
pay more or less attention to books, and a few of them include surprisingly

878 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

good reviews. Some of these papers can command the services of intelligent
book-reviewers. An author is always pleased when a review indicates that
its writer has read the book, and read it intelligently. To read the book which
one is about to review is not always the custom. Yet when it is followed, the
result is not only gratifying to the author, but valuable to us all. In the
rush and hurry of the offices of a newspaper, a great many books do not
get read at all. Either, as Mr. Bliss Perry pointed out, the reviewer clips
the publisher's notice, or he takes a few sentences from the preface, or
he glances casually into the book and jumps to a hasty conclusion. The
frequency with which the publisher's notice (that paragraph of puffing usually
printed on the jacket of a book and known as the "blurb"), the frequency with
which this is repeated in newspaper book-reviewing is almost incredible. I
know an author who subscribed to a press-clipping bureau and read the hun-
dred or more notices which were sent to him about his new book. Nearly
twelve months later, a relative of this author wrote to him that she had heard
of a complimentary notice which had appeared about his book and about
him as a writer, in some paper in Texas. The kind relative went on to say
that she had not yet seen the notice, but had only heard about it in a letter
from a friend in the city where it was first printed. The friend had lent it
to another friend, and in course of time it was to be sent to the relative who
promised to forward it to the tremulous and expectant author. After more
or less correspondence the author at last received the clipping, which was
J nearly worn out, it had passed through so many hands. It was, indeed,

/ flattering in its nature, and indicated a belief that the reputation of such

I writers as Thackeray, Dickens, and Howells were wavering in the balance on

\ account of the rise of this new and extraordinarily gifted novelist. The author

J did his best to thank his friendly correspondent, and he refrained from saying

l that the delightful nature of this compliment was somewhat impaired for

j him by the fact that he had already read the same praise, uttered verbatim et

■ literatim, by about thirty-five different newspapers from Portland, Maine, to

i' Santa Barbara, California, and that, moreover, the whole thing originated in

the puff, by means of which the publishers of the book were doing their
'; best to increase its sale.

In spite of this sort of thing, there is occasionally a newspaper, some-
, times of the most unexpected sort, which happens to have upon its staff a

, man or a woman who is writing honest, intelligent and witty book-reviews.

appreciation of what he was trying to say, than all the others. Sometimes
these reviewers are doing their work without any pay except the practice which
it gives them, the pleasure of seeing their writing in print, and the opportunity
to gain the editor's notice, and so merit, in the future, payment in money.
Such writers of reviews are frequently not hurried; they may spend a week
in reading a single book and in writing a review of it, and the work is often
correspondingly careful. (An experienced hand, of course, might do far
better in a few hours. The plodding nature of much of our own work as
librarians may make us exalt the plodder, and forget that brilliant work is
frequently done at high speed.) Sometimes there are professional men or
women who enjoy dabbling in literary work in their odd moments, and so write
reviews. Certain papers and periodicals devoted to special interests, such as,
for instance, those published by religious sects, often contain excellent book-
reviews. All of these are interesting and valuable to the librarian, if they
appear in time. Unfortunately, they seldom do that.

In discussing newspapers, it should be said that the three quoted in the
Book Review Digest, are the New York Times, the Springfield Republican,
and the Boston Evening Transcript.

It is hardly necessary to speak to librarians about the handy little publica-
tion to which the American Library Association chooses to give the cryptic
and unattractive name of A. L. A. Booklist. It is, of course, aimed especially
at the small libraries which can afford to wait until the Booklist appears. It is
undoubtedly cautious and conservative in its recommendations, keeping in
mind not the educated person of mature mind and catholic taste, but rather
the provincial type of library patron who is easily shocked.* If any of us ever
write a book, we may feel fairly certain that out of a feeling of fellowship
for us as librarians the A. L. A. Booklist will duly recommend it, showing
that however stern and uncompromising they would have the professional
literary critic, when it comes down to their own case librarians prefer the milk
of human kindness to the corrosive acid of outspoken criticism.

Judging from the current number (January, 1917), the phraseology of
the annotations in the Booklist is open to improvement. One does not demand
graceful writing in these notes, but such awkwardness of expression as to leave
the meaning in doubt certainly impeaches the value of the criticisms.

j sion of them is superfluous now. No library subscribes to the Outlook, the

? Independent, nor the Literary Digest, primarily for the sake of its book-re-

1 sociology, of economics, or of politics, The New Republic would usually

'' represent the opposite opinion from The Nation, for instance. These different

., opinions are reflected in the reviews, — hence the value of both periodicals to

' the librarian. The reviews in The New Republic frequently have a studied

; sophistication which makes it rather a task to consult them.

/ It is impossible for the small library to subscribe to all the literary re-

views. It is often impossible for the librarian to read all to which there is

In the last of these talks it may be useful to consider the various kinds
of book-reviews, and try to discover which of these we are most likely to
need in our work. We talk glibly, says Mr. Bliss Perry, in our academic class-
rooms about various types of literary criticism: "the judicial, the interpreta-
tive, the appreciative, the impressionistic, and so on. It is evident that these
types or species of book-reviews exist and co-exist, and that they are found
not merely in the periodical literature of our own country but in all civilized
countries, and that the processes indicated by the words 'judicial,' 'interpreta-
tive,' 'impressionistic' may be traced not only in the work of any one critic
but even in successive pages of the same critical essay."

Another classification of book-reviews, one suggested to me by Miss
Mary W. Plummer, is: the informational review, the non-committal, the per-
functory, and the critical. The perfunctory book-review is one I have al-
ready mentioned in connection with much of the book- re vie wing done in
newspapers. The person entrusted with the work of reviewing books is ap-
parently the office boy, who, equipped with a pair of scissors and a jar of
paste, clips out the publisher's notice of the book, perhaps taking it frdm the
Httle printed advertising leaflet which accompanies the copy sent for review,
and sends it, just as it stands, to the composing room.

.^nd thus it often happens that when a novel is published, fifty or a
hundred newspapers scattered across the country, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, solemnly record that Mr. or Mrs. Blank's novel is a heart-gripping
work, a book filled from cover to cover with human interest, pulsating with
good red blood, strong, virile, compelling, and convincing, (That word "con-
vincing" is their pet and their darling.) Its hero, Roderick Livingstone,
is a fine type of clean-limbed young American manhood, while the heroine,
the delightful Betty Fairfax, is a most charming and winsome speci-
men of the American girl in full flower of her charm. Those who have read
Mr, or Mrs, Blank's novel feel that a new star has risen on the literary horizon,
and that by this work Mr. or Mrs. Blank takes his or her rightful place with
the imperishable masters of English fiction. The new book combines the
dramatic power of Dumas, the humor of Dickens, the keen insight of Balzac,

and the wit and irony of Thackeray. The charming illustrations are by

The non-committal type of book-review may be written by someone
who has not really read the book. Sometimes, however, it is a part of a set
policy of the publication to play safe and offend no one. Each new book is,
therefore, credited with a notice, which, although really written in the office
from which it emanates, is so neutral in tone that it might apply equally well
to the "Decameron" or to "RoUo at Play." Except for the fact that the non-
committal book-review will as a rule tell you whether the book is one of
history, biography, or whatever, it is almost wholly useless.

The informational type of book-review gives its reader a fair idea about
the contents of the book without going far into real criticism. Often this is
a useful type. The review may consist chiefly of quotations from the book,
and in some classes of literature there can be nothing better than that. A re-
view of a volume of poems, for instance, which does not quote as extensively as
space allows, has certainly failed to do its duty. There are other kinds of
books from which quotations, if well chosen, will tell the reader of the review
more than any amount of criticism, no matter how clever the criticism. Mr.
Frank B. Sanborn, who has for many years written literary and other letters
to the Springfield Republican has said that copious quotations from a book
give it the best kind of review.

In the genuine critical book-review the art of reviewing reaches its high-
est level. The reviewer who is well enough informed to appraise a book
fairly, to point out with justice its strong and its weak sides, to assign with
some degree of accuracy its real importance, and to do all this in clear terms
and briefly, produces the kind of review for which the librarian, at any rate,
is seeking. To do this, the reviewer must possess that amount of knowledge
of general literature which gives him a sense of proportion. The writer of
some of Baedeker's guidebooks declares that a man must know something of
the whole world to write a good guidebook of any one country. It will not
do, he says, for the writer to become over-awed about the low range of sand
hills which form the highest points of land in Holland, so long as the Alps
and the Rocky Mountains are in existence. In the same way the book-re-

viewer must curb his enthusiasm for the latest volume of plays until he con-
siders them against the background of the great dramatists of the English
stage. This does not mean, however, — and it is important for the reviewer
of books to remember that it does not mean — that all current books should
be contrasted with the monuments of literature, and condemned because
they do not reach an equal height. If librarians should reject every novel
that comes along until they find one as good as "The Tale of Two Cities,"
they would not only go without buying any new fiction for a great many
years, but they would also miss an amount of good work.

The author's profession is peculiar; he is one of the few people who suffer
from the competition — literally the competition, commercial and otherwise
— of the dead. There can always be* found persons who like to shake their
heads and exclaim mournfully, "The days of the great novelists or poets are
past. We shall have no more Scotts, Dickenses, nor Thackerays; no more
Byrons, Wordsworths, nor Tennysons." This may be true, but it is also true
that in the days of those great novelists, the critics and other despondent per-
sons ' would shake their heads and say, "Do not talk to me about Scott,
Thackeray, and this Charles Dickens, — the days of the great novelists are
past. Where is there to-day anyone to compare with Richardson, Fielding
and Smollett?" And in the days of Richardson, Fielding, and Smollett, I
do not know to whom the melancholy critics harked back, but I am sure that
they spoke regretfully of some writers of past glory, whose equals would
never be seen again.

In the essay, already quoted, on "Literary Criticism and Book Review-
ing," Mr. Brander Matthews writes: "The aristocrats of culture put their
trust in academic standards, as becomes the custodians of tradition. They
look to the past only; they rarely understand the present; they are prone to
distrust the future. They did not perceive the scope of 'Don Quixote,' of
Ifamlet,' of the 'Cid,' and of the 'Femmes Savantes.' They were outraged
by Hugo's 'Hernani' as they were disgusted with Ibsen's 'Ghosts.' They are
rarely open-minded enough to disentangle what is praiseworthy out of the
powerful works which revolt them — Zola's, for example, and Whitman's.
But it is only fair to suggest that they are swift to belaud delicate art and
technical skill. They found it easy to appreciate Virgil and Racine, Gray and
Longfellow, and in general any other poet who has felt himself to be the heir
of the ages and who has walked reverently in the footprints of his predecessors.
They are, therefore, more likely to be right in their opinions on authors of the

second rank than in their judgments upon original geniuses. In this latter task
their very education seems often to be a disadvantage, sophisticating their
perceptions and leaving them less ready to understand the elemental and the
universal than the plain people are. It may even lead them to distrust a
writer of primitive force, chiefly because the plain people like him.

"The book-reviewers are wise in rejecting the advice of the strenuous
writers quoted early in this paper and in not being tempted to take themselves
too seriously. It is enough to give them pause to recall the fate of more than
one of their predecessors and to remember that when a book-reviewer de-
cides that it is his duty to scourge the incompetent and to drive out the false
pretenders, he may be clever enough to select Robert Montgomery as his vic-
tim, or he may be unlucky enough to happen upon Byron or Keats or Words-
worth."

§5

In speaking of the critical book-review, we must recognize the different
standards of criticism for different classes of books. In mathematics, and
in many of the more or less exact sciences, accuracy is, of course, the first
requisite. The book cannot adequately be reviewed except by a specialist in
that branch of learning. In the same way, while a person of good general
information may review a book on, let us say, Greek sculpture or Italian opera,
and produce a fair book-review which describes the scope of the work, of
course only an expert is prepared to give anything like a definite judgment
upon it. That is why I have spoken so much about longer reviews and pref-
erably the signed reviews in such publications as The Nation and The Dial.
The editor of the book-reviewing publication does not turn over important
books to the people who write the brief notes and paragraphs. The men or
women who are qualified to review a book on government, or the fine arts, or
philosophy, are usually able to command a fee for doing the work. They ex-
pect a certain amount of space, and they are accustomed to sign their names to
the review.

Even then, while the librarian may accept these judgments as the best
at that time, and buy the book on the recommendation, it must be remembered
that the greatest experts often go sadly astray, or are themselves condemned
and ridiculed by the experts of the next decade or generation. Even in the
field of science, that domain of "exact" knowledge, the discoverers and
pioneers are often hooted down by the orthodox critics of their day.

The ideal writer of a book-review is a person who combines knowledge
of his subject, with sympathy, tolerance, and humanity. He sees mistakes

and errors, if they exist, but he does not allow them to blind him to posi-
tive merits. Certain experts, sometimes employed to review books, think that
the art of criticism consists in tracking down minute, unimportant blunders.
They run over the pages, hunting for some trifling inaccuracy or typographical
mistake, and are triumphant when they find one. It is well for the author's
sake, as well as for that of the reader, that errors should be detected and, if
possible, corrected in a future edition. It is certainly desirable that any im-
portant errors, tending to misinform the reader of the book, should be noted in
a review of it. It may be well to chronicle even small mistakes. But it is a
question, if the critic's motive is purely altruistic and he is merely animated
by a passion for accuracy, whether he should not bring about his laudable
purpose by a brief letter to the publisher or author, who will be duly grateful.
The reader of a book-review has seldom time to learn, nor does he care to
learn, that there is a trifling mistake, say, in the pagination of the index, or
that the middle initial of some obscure and unimportant person — to whom
the only reference in the whole volume is made in a footnote — is given as
"E" when it should be "A". Yet there are people who seem to think that in
recording such things they are displaying their scholarship, when as a matter
of fact, they are merely advertising their lack of it. I have heard learned men
chanting, in a kind of barbaric glee, the fact that they had discovered in some
colleague's book an error in a date, and one doubtful statement.

It is unwise to be too fond of exposing the minor inaccuracies of other
folk. The chances are many that just as, with a triumphant chuckle, we in-
dulge ourselves in the pastime, we may fall into some blunder as bad as the
one about which we are complaining. In a brief review, which I once read,
the reviewer recorded two or three small errors he had found. One of his
discoveries was that the author had spoken of the right-hand page of a book
as having an even number, when, really, that page in book-making is always
given an odd number. As the book under discussion was wholly imaginary,
the error might have seemed rather small to record, — especially, as only a
few lines above, this meticulous reviewer had mis-spelled the name of the
author whose carelessness he was reproving!

§6

The reviewer, then, has a right to demand absolute accuracy in scientific
works, knowledge of the subject in all books, and a readable quality in every
book, except a reference book. I am not sure that even that should be ex-
cepted. Books are made to be read, even though some people dislike to admit

it I The precise scholar is apt to look with distrust upon any book which is easy
to read. I heard a conversation not long ago between a historical scholar and
another man, in which the historian was inclined to laugh at the writings of
Francis Parkman because they are readable and because they attempt to con-
vey something of the romance which surrounded the early exploration of
North America. He seemed to have in mind some special passage in which
Parkman spoke of travellers near the St. Lawrence River, passing through
woods by moonlight. Inasmuch as moonlight is more or less inseparably con-
nected with romance, it annoyed him to have anything said about it at all; and
he seemed to believe that Parkman should have suppressed all mention of the
moon, or, if he felt bound to bring it in, should have procured an almanac, to
"find out moonshine," and should have limited his description to a statistical
table, giving the hours of the moon's rising and setting during this expedition.
The other man agreed that it would be wrong for the historian to represent
the moon as shining on any specific night, unless he had documentary evi-
dence; but inasmuch as this expedition lasted for several months, he went
on to say, it seemed reasonable to suppose that some time during those months
the moon was really visible; and as it was known that the travellers did march
by night, a reference to the theory of probabilities might seem to bear out,
almost mathematically, Parkman's statement that on one night, at any rate,
they marched by moonlight through the woods. Moreover, he maintained,
it was not only justifiable but thoroughly commendable to try to fix in the
minds of readers the events of those days, by describing the long line of
French explorers, headed by their Indian scouts, proceeding through the forest
by moonlight. By such a method he attained a degree of historical truth far
above any astronomical hair-splittings.

But, no; it would not satisfy the historian. There were no living wit-
nesses of that moonlight; there was not even a sworn affidavit about it; and
so, while he was not quite ready to cast Parkman out from the accepted band
of historians, he felt that he was still more or less an object of suspicion. Thus
does scientific criticism make itself ridiculous when it ventures out of the
fields in which exact knowledge is possible.

In all books, the critic has the right to demand good English; clear Eng-
lish at any rate, grammatical English in all books, and choice English in works
which pretend to belong to the belles lettres. Here again, it is possible to be

search the works of the best writers and come away with a fine crop of blun-
ders of every kind. I suppose that the split infinitive has been the mistake
most widely discussed by those who put an undue amount of trust in books of
rules, and by those who think that culture may be acquired by obeying certain
prohibitions. Certainly many persons and many writers of book-reviews
take great joy in discovering split infinitives, just as our teachers at school
used to search them out in our themes and compositions. It is wrong to
split an infinitive — besides, as someone said, being cruel to the infinitive —
but it is foolish to set up that, or any other mistake, as the touchstone of good
usage. Not only does the split infinitive occur over and over again in the
writings of lesser authors, but it may be found in the works of such masters
of style and expert literary craftsmen as Matthew Arnold, Walter Pater, and
Robert Louis Stevenson. This is only one example of the sort of error upon
which the hypercritical book-reviewer may waste his time.

In an article on "Book Reviewing" ^ Mr. Robert Lynd has said: "Those
to -whom popular books are anathema have a temperament which will always
find it difficult to fall in with the limitations of the work of a general re-
viewer. The curious thing is that this intolerance of easy writing is most
generally found among those who are most opposed to intolerance in the
sphere of morals. It is as though they had escaped from one sort of Puri-
tanism into another. Personally, I do not see why, if we should be tolerant
of the breach of a moral commandment, we should not be equally tolerant
of the breach of a literary commandment. We should gently scan not only
our brother man but our brother author. The ultra-artistic person of to-day,
however, will look kindly on adultery, but show all the harshness of a Pil-
grim Father in his condemnation of a split infinitive. I cannot see the logic
of this. If irregular and commonplace people have the right to exist, surely
irregular and commonplace books have a right to exist by their side."

It is scarcely worth while to spend time in reading the book-review which
is written not so much for the purpose of informing its reader as to give its
writer the opportunity to cultivate an involved and tortuous style. Such re-
views are not infrequent; they are the products of a sophomoric period of de-
velopment continued in maturer years. One of the recent editors of the
Atlantic Monthly said that the chief difficulty with manuscripts submitted by
young writers — especially those at the college age — was not simplicity, but

the lack of it, — the belief that wandering in obscure mazes of thought, and
expressing oneself in cr3T>tic phrases meant profundity. Thus the German
commentators upon Shakespeare read into the text metaphysical subtleties
never dreamed of by the dramatist; and in like manner the Browning Society
made new difficulties with their poet's works, until Browning himself, when
asked to explain a line, used to laugh, and say "I'm sure I don't know; ask the
Browning Society." The peculiar style of Henry James was a genuine re-
flection of his mind; his imitators merely achieve his obscurity without the
delicate power of analysis which lay behind it. A small mind may for a
time look great by getting itself into a fog, but the illusion does not last.

§9

'Writers of reviews sometimes blame a book for not possessing qualities
which it never was intended to possess. They form an idea of the purpose
which the author ought to have had, or of the manner in which the book
should have been written. It does not occur to them to ask whether the
author's purpose and manner may not be as good as their own. Because he
did not think with them, they condemn him and his book.

Persistently to find defects does not indicate intellectual distinction. To
be the one dissenting voice in a chorus of praise assures attention, and the
temptation to attract such attention is, to a few persons, irresistible. From
a recent review, on Ian Hay's (Captain Beith's) "The First Hundred
Thousand," the following sentences are quoted;

"What strikes a reader who knows nothing of war is the bright ama-
teurishness of it all. In a way one admires this tremendously. Soulful talks
would be trying. . . But war, after all, is war. It is not a game or a sport.
And Captain Beith's spirit is the spirit of the British public school with a
strong suggestion of Punch. . . But to go from the playground to the battle-
field in the very spirit of the playground suggests a lack of imagination.
And this lack of imagination sticks out all over this volume. . . However one
may feel about the Germans, one may be sure they do not take their work in
this spirit, . . Perhaps the class humor with which the recruits are described
. . . has something to do with a sense that Captain Beith has not quite clinched
with the difficult task of describing the war. . . That he and his regiment
were gloriously gallant one is warmly conscious. If one is disappointed it is
mainly because their deeper emotions are not presented with success. One
does not doubt for a second the sportsmanlike attitude of these men. One
only doubts their willingness to accept the psychic as well as the physical clash

of the war. . . But pleasant though Captain Beith's narrative is, it does not
convey a fine total sense of his adventure, his army and his empire. It has
for a grave event a too-familiar imperturbability, an air of preserving style
at the expense of sincere response ..."

iio

Reviews of this kind are fashionable to-day. Their manner of courteous
superiority sometimes makes the reader exclaim: "Here, at last, is real
criticism!" Yet the reviewer's phrase: "an .air of preserving style at the
expense of sincere response," is applicable to his own work. You cannot
escape the feeling that this polite fault-finding is done for the sake of fault-
finding, and that if Captain Beith had indulged in the least emotionalism this
reviewer would have denounced him more cuttingly than he does for its
lack. In other words, his mental attitude is as if he had said: "Here is a
well-liked, straightforward, and occasionally humorous narrative, — I must
delicately, very delicately, point out its defects. I can find these defects with-
out difficulty by imagining what my mental attitude would have been in
similar circumstances, and regretting that the author's experiences were
different."

Surely, to lament because Captain Beith's Scotch soldiers lacked the
"willingness to accept the psychic. . .clash of the war" is rather absurd and
suggests the dilettante critic.

§11

What does the general reader think of book-reviews? How much does
he use them, and what importance does he attach to them? If you have not
ah*eady discovered, you can easily find out that only a small percentage of
the public read book-reviews at all. Should you inquire among fairly well-
informed people, those who are moderately interested in books and reading,
I think you will be astonished to learn how many of them not only never
read a book-review, but do not even know the names of such publications
as The Athenaeum, The Nation, and The Dial. The average person who
reads a few books, reads little or nothing about them except what he sees in
the advertisements. If a review is quoted in an advertisement it may catch
his eye. Forty reviewers may have condemned the book, three may have
said one or two good words for it in the course of an otherwise unfavorable
notice. The publisher naturally quotes the two or three favorable lines from

the three merciful critics, combines these as an advertisement, and the person
who goes no farther than that gets the impression that the new book is entirely
praiseworthy.

§12
What do publishers think of book-reviews ? It is said that some of them
do not much care whether their books are reviewed or not, and that so far
as they are concerned would gladly save the cost of the hundred or two
hundred copies which are sent to the literary editors. It is hard, however, to
break away from old custom, and, moreover, the publisher well knows that
it tickles the author's vanity to read the reviews, and that it may put him in
an amiable frame of mind to receive the news of slender sales. The author,
at least at the time of the publication of his or her first book, is frankly
delighted to receive the reviews, and treasures any kind words which may have
been said, even by the most obscure paper.

" 'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print;
A book's a book, although there's nothing in't,"

seems to be as true to-day as it ever was, although now that there is an author
in every family the joy might be expected to have worn off a little. But I
do not know. I met a gentleman last winter who, at the age of seventy or over,
had written his first book, a volume of reminiscences. He had already had
a successful career, not without some-marks of distinction in his own pro-
fession, but the generally kind and complimentary notices which his book was
receiving had reduced him to a state of almost speechless delight. Not in-
frequently authors who have been pleasantly treated feel called upon to write
to the reviewer and thank him, although I believe that Dr. Johnson said that
was a foolish thing to do, because If a critic had blamed your book, there was
nothing for you to say, while if he praised it and his praise was deserved, he had
only performed his duty, and needed no thanks.

The instances in which an author has taken adverse criticism to heart,
accepted it as just, and been guided by its advice, are, I should imagine, very
rare. Richard Grant Moulton declared that the history of literature was the
history of the triumph of authors over critics; and Christopher North, him-
self a famous critic, declared, "I care not one single curse for all the criticism
that was ever canted or decanted." Sir Arthur Conan- Doyle said that the only
kind of literary criticism which amounts to much is that of a boy who, in
genuine indignation or enthusiasm, finishes a book with the word "Rubbish!"

V Google

BOOK-REVIEWS 891

or with the word "Bully!" I know of one instance in which an author found
in a book-review the adverse opinions with which he himself had come to re-
gard his own work. He was interested enough to inquire the name of the
writer of the review and to send him a letter, substantially as follows:

"My dear Sir: Somewhat recently a clipping from the of De-
cember 20th was sent me. It interested me very much, made me mad (with
myself) and did me much good. I have learned that you are the author of
this criticism and wish to thank you for pitching into me. Your compliments
on my earlier book, of course, made me blush, but the direction of your
criticism on the latter was right in line with what I have been feeling for
years, and you gave me the fillip necessary to decide me to call a halt on books
of the kind I have been making recently and endeavor to go back to the thing
I like best. It will interest you, I hope, to know that I am going to bring
out, next fall, a book in the manner of my original venture,"

Moreover, the author kept his word, and the book duly appeared. Such
instances as this are probably rather rare and form a pleasant contrast to
what is a more frequent experience of book-reviewers, — to have an author
pass over forty lines of praise, remember only one or two lines of censure,
and write a petulant complaint to the reviewer or the editor.

§13

There are, or used to be, some warm-hearted persons sitting in editorial
chairs who believe that it is the function of the reviewer always to say some-
thing pleasant and encouraging to every author. If we had to choose be-
tween this method and the merciless flaying which used to delight the
writers for the Quarterly Review, there can be no doubt that the humane
method is best. There is a story told, — it is my impression by 1-aurence
Hutton, but I have been unable to find the exact reference, — concerning
William Cullen Bryant, Mr. Bryant always desired, according to this story,
to say something cordial about every book, no matter how bad it might be.
He gave Mr. Hutton a volume of poems to review, and told him it was ap-
parently written by some poor woman who was aspiring to be a poet. "You
can find something good in it," he said, Mr. Hutton hunted through the
book and brought it back to Mr. Bryant, challenging him to find one line in
the whole volume which was not execrable. Bryant hunted, and had to admit
that no good word could be spoken for it. "But perhaps," said he, "you can
praise the cover," and he turned the book over and looked at the cover. "No,"
he continued, "it is an affront to taste; but here, the cover is put on well; you

892 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

can say that." And so the book notice appeared, giving the author's name
and the title of the volume, followed by the single comment, "The cover is
well put on."

§14

Book annotation has been authoritatively discussed in the Library Journal
by Mrs. Fairchild and by Mr. George lies. The annotations which it is urged
should be put on the catalogue cards, or printed under the entry of the book
in a library bulletin, furnish an important and interesting subject for the
librarian to investigate. The more one tries to write satisfactory annotations,
to boil down into almost the space of a telegram the contents of a book, the
more difficult he discovers it to be. In controversial subjects it is useful to
say in the annotation which side of the controversy the author takes, provided
he is a partisan. In general, it seems to me that the annotation should tend to
recommend the book to the reader's notice. When a library prints the title
of a book in its bulletin it means that the library stands behind that book, and
that it is worth purchasing and listing. Still more is this true in a selected
list, for here the library is choosing certain books from many others of the
same class, and recommending them as the best which it owns or can obtain.
Then surely, it is no time for the critical note which bears as strongly on the
weakness as upon the strength of the book. The writer of a book annotation
sometimes forgets that he is not to display his ability to analyze, but rather
to indicate the book's usefulness, or worth.

Some important examples of annotation occur in Baker's "Guide to
the Best Fiction." This is a useful and admirable book, but its anno-
tations are sometimes so coldly critical that it is doubtful if anyone would
realize that the compiler really intended to describe these books as worthy of
attention. Take, for instance, the note on "Vanity Fair." Mr. Baker says
that "Vanity Fair" is the author's "most representative novel — a picture of
society on a broad canvas, embracing a great variety of characters and in-
terests, the object being to depict mankind with all its faults and meannesses
without idealization or romance. There is little set design." All the classes
of society "are portrayed in the most lifelike way. Episodes strong in tragedy,
dramatic displays of passion, are mingled with pure comedy. Thackeray
combines comment with narrative even more intimately than Fidding, To
many readers, indeed, his sarcastic dissertations are the chief intellectual de-
light. Lord Steyne is drawn from the Marquis of Hertford, Mr. Wagg from
Theodore Hook, and Wenham from J, W. Croker." Now, this annotation is
correct in all essentials, from beginning to end. It could only have been

written by a man with a respectable knowledge of Thackeray and generally of
the English novel. It shows a genuine critical quality; yet it has about as
much enthusiasm in it, about as much warmth, as a dead fish. No one would
guess from it that the book under discussion was what many judges would
name as the highwater mark of English fiction. I certainly cannot imagine
that it would arouse in anyone a strong desire to read the book. Such a
note is not necessarily wrong in a volume like Mr. Baker's, but I do believe
that in library annotation a little less cool analysis and a little more enthusiasm
is desirable. In annotation, as in book reviewing, maudlin enthusiasm, bub-
bling sentimentality, are surely to be avoided. But that does not mean that we
should look at works, which after all are designed to appeal to the imagination
and the emotions, entirely in the cold light of the intellect.

§15

In spite of the length of this discussion, it is not my theory that a librarian
should read reviews without ceasing. There are other methods of finding
out about books. First and foremost, among them, is reading the books
themselves, in whole or in part, and forming our own opinions about them;
opinions which we should sometimes be willing to maintain in opposition to
what the revievvers may say. But there are cases when the reviews are of no
avail, because they do not come in time, and still other cases in which it is not
necessary to have recourse to reviews at all. No librarian would wait, when
Mr. Howells published a book, to find out whether the book-reviewers say
that it is of a sufficiently high literary standard to warrant its admission to
a public library. We are sure about that in advance. Nor have we any
reason to feel uneasiness as to whether its ethical tone is high enough. That
is true of such a writer as Mr. Howells, and while he is merely one example,
it is also true of writers in other fields. If James Bryce published a book
on government, or Professor Dewey one on education, we know that we have
to do with a book by a competent writer in that field, and for the most part
the questions which arise as to its purchase are merely financial. We buy
it if we have the money.

In many cases librarians use, and must constantly use, a number of small
indications: the author's reputation, if he is already known, the publisher (by
no means a sure guide one way or the other, but always to be considered), and
the general circumstances attending the publication of the book, — even its
physical appearance. Librarians do and must use these clues for many books,
and make their decisions without consulting any review at all.

§16

It may be that I have quoted or said some things which will lead you
to read or investigate a little in this by-path of literature or journalism. If
you are led to examine Mr. Brimley Johnston's "Famous Reviews," or if you
can go back to some of the old reviews themselves, I believe that you will find
the experience enjoyable. It is important to emphasize the fact that critics,
even the most learned and distinguished, have been wrong over and over
again in their judgments of contemporary literature; have applauded writers
of no importance, and violently condemned or ridiculed men whose works are
now the chief glories of our literature. To say this, however, ought not leave
a feeling of scorn for book-reviewing and literary criticism. To correct such
an impression it is only necessary to look at one of the half dozen best reviews
in English to see the number of sensible and useful book notices which are
appearing all the time.

I should like to emphasize what I believe to be the fact: — that long
reviews of books other than fiction are usually of more importance, and that
the shorter reviews of books of imaginative literature, while often interest-
ing and sometimes valuable, may nevertheless be merely expressions of per-
sonal opinion on a subject about which people differ as much as they do in
their taste in food. There are writers, like Meredith, about whom critics
differ sharply. To a man who does not like parsnips there is no use arguing
that parsnips are good. One writer of book-reviews enjoys Conrad's novels
and another cannot read them. The latter might have condemned his earlier
booksas unreadable. Now, if he were competent, he would have in mind the
esteem in which thousands of discriminating readers hold the author of "Lord
Jim," and have respect for their opinions. But he could not, if he were honest,
deal fairly in such a case. Perhaps he ought to decline to review Conrad's
books, and let them be passed upon by an admirer.

Reading reviews is one of a librarian's duties, and also one of a librarian's
pleasures. In this it resembles reading of books and of everything else. "A
librarian who reads is lost," — that is one of the bland falsehoods about our
work. A librarian who does not read is hardly worth losing, and, moreover,
must have very poor fun.

THE MAKING OF A WOOD-ENGRAVING

THE Prints Division of the Library has opened the third in its series of
exhibitions illustrating "The Making of Prints." The present exhibition,
which is to remain on view to the end of May, 1917, is devoted to "The Mak-
ing of a Wood- Engraving,"

The usual arrangement has been followed. Blocks and tools are shown
as a matter of course, — bare blocks, blocks drawn upon or photographed
upon, ready for engraving, engraved blocks, transfers, electrotypes. There
are also gravers (burins) of various kinds, the pad on which the block rests
while it is being engraved, the engraver's magnifying glass and stand, pictures
of engravers at work and of hands wielding the gravers, as well as of the
wood-cutters of olden times, cutting with a knife on a section of plank. And
in the adjoining room are shown the various tools used by the Japanese in
the production of their color-prints.

The best possible examples of the art have been chosen for exhibition.
The enormous amount of material produced in five centuries in wood-engrav-
ing made rigid selection even more necessary than usual. It is therefore a
summary review of the art from the beginning to the present day, one which
nevertheless covers the ground in its essential features.

From the earliest known wood-engraving with a date, the "St. Chris-
topher" of 1423, the important stages in the development of the art are illus-
trated, usually by original examples, in a few instances by reproductions. There
are shown books printed in Germany and Italy, in the later years of the
fifteenth and the earlier years of the sixteenth century, such as the "Nurem-
burg Chronicle" of 1493, Breydenbach's "Peregrinateo," the "Hypneroto-
machia" of Poliphilo, Turrecremata's "Meditations," etc. These all help to
illustrate the development that was made in book illustration and the essential
fact that the history of wood-engraving is practically the history of book
illustration, with all the educational influence which that implies. They also
illustrate the fact so aptly put by Lippmann in the statement that in Germany
the proper function of book illustration was instruction, and in Italy ornament.
And finally they emphasize clearly and unmistakably, the peculiar adaptability
of wood-engraving to book illustration, since, like type printing, it represents
a relief process, so that pictures and text can be printed at one operation. Just
as inevitably does this fact suggest and make clear the essential harmony that
exists between book illustration and decoration in line and the lines of the
printed type page.

896 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

After the earliest cuts come the separate prints, beginning with the early
sixteenth century, and including work by Dtirer, Cranach, Graf, Altdorfer,
and others. Some French "Books of Hours" are also on exhibition. From
these prints produced from the wood blocks cut with a knife along the grain
we come to the modern work, dating from Bewick, which was produced
by engraving with gravers on wood blocks across the grain. The differ-
ence, as the exhibition clearly shows, is that in the one case we have the line
cut in relief so as to print black on the white ground and In the other the line
incised so as to print white on a black ground. The development of this new
art of wood-engraving is shown through the early period of the nineteenth
century, when forgetful of the nature of their medium the engravers tried to
imitate engraving on copper; through that period of book illustration in Eng-
land, generally known as the period of the '60s, the Dore period in France,
the elaborate reproductions of paintings and other works- of art, as well as
the illustrations of Menzel, Richter and others, in Germany, down to that
brilHant culmination in the absolute reproduction of tone which was the re-
sult of the activity of what is generally known as the "New School" of wood-
engraving in America. In the latter, the matter of tones and tints and grada-
tions is carried to the utmost possibility, even to extremes, in the joy of this
new-felt power. But the best work of this school — the work produced as
the result of more clarified ideas — will stand as most remarkable examples
of interpretation through black and white of painters of different lands and
times.

The present-day examples that it was possible to exhibit in the space avail-
able will show that the art is not dead by any means. It is being practised in
a different way; that is, by artists seeking to express themselves directly on
the block as they would on copper in etching, or on the stone in lithography.
Strang, Sleigh, Ricketts, Craig, Nicholson, and Moore in England, where L.
Pissaro and Verpilleux are also active; Lepere, Riviere, Vallotton and Colin
in France; Orlik, Moll, Laage, Klemm and others in Germany and Austria;
and Dow, Helen Hyde, Nordfeldt, Ruzicka, Howard McCormick and Allen
Lewis in our land have shown in various ways what can be done in wood-
engraving while remaining strictly within the limits of the medium. Much
of this modern work is in simple open lines and flat tints, the tints often in
color.
