Tneagoneg ot the Msngh Llbnsny. HE private library of America's distinguished scholar and diplo- mat, the Hon. George P. Marsh, has now, after many Wander- ings, found ahnal and fit abode in the magnificent room designed for it in the Billings Library of the University of Vermont. The story of the gathering of this collection, with the journeys of por- tions of it as they followed their owner to his various posts of honor in Washingtoiu, Constantinople, Turin, Florence and Romeg the long storages of unused portions, and the Final assemblage and orderly rearrangement of the volumes in their present commodi- ous and permanent quarters, would in itself form an entertaining article. But the space of the present paper is restricted to an account of the special rarities and most valuable features of the collection. Interesting as some of its volumes are, the library as a whole is of proportionately greater value than any of its parts. The cost of every book was a matter of serious consideration to its pur- chaser, and no volume was bought that could be spared. As a result of this enforced economy, the collection includes only the best books in its different departments. It is emphatically a working library, being the material employed by Mr. Marsh in the preparation of his treatises on Scandinavian and English philology, physical geography, the history of Romanism, and the minor topics discussed in his various pamphlets. But the sub- jects represented by the twelve thousand volumes of his library, though clustered about these nuclei, really cover almost all the departments of human knowledge. Une third of the library may be classed as literature, one third as history, including biography 16
