ered —The Proposed .New Building.
Washington, April 17.— Both Ilouaen
f Congress uaving at last passed a bill
providing for the erection of anew build
ing for the Congressional Library, there
is reason to believe that this much-needed
structure will some day materialize. For
years the condition of this library lias
been a disgrace, the lack of room lot ar
ranging the books rendering many of
them entirely inaccessible and useless,
itis the most important and valuable
library on tun continent, and too only
one approaching completeness in certain
importuat features. At the beginning of
the present year it contained, in round
numbers. ,v. '.non books and 130,000 pam
phlets. A great part of this vast collec
tion is stored away in boxes, in cellars
and lofts, and piled up wherever space
could he found, because there lias bpen no
shelf room, nor even floor room, in the
apartments of the < atutol devoted to its
fhfjjl
LIBRARIAN SPOFFORD.
nse. Mr. Spelford, the Librarian, is a re
rnarkable man, possessing an extraor
dinary knowledge ot books, as well as the
faculty of carrying this whole mass in
his head, so to speak, otherwise little use
could have been made of them. When
any member ot Congress wants a book, or
wants to know anything about a book, be
.sends to Spofford, and the information Is
■promptly furnished, l’robatdy there is no
man in America who knows so much
about the character, contents and value
of the book literature of the world as
Ainsworth R. Spofford. Certainly there
is not another man who could handle the
great library under his charge to such
advantage, under the same disadvanta
geous circumstances. Gen. Garfield was
a great friend and admirer ot Spofford,
often consulting him concerning pur
chases ot books, and all the book-worms
of the capital do the same, more or less.
Mr. Spofford was a very happy man when
the bill for the new building passed the
House last week. Itis understood that
be has expended much care and labor
upou the plans for the interior of the
structure, all oi which have been adopted.
The Library of Congress, as it is named,
started from a foundation of small begin
nings. At the first session of the Sixth
Federal Congress, at Philadelphia, when
the act was passed providing lor the re
moval of the seat ol government to Wash
ington. section live ot that act > nropri
ated $5 000 to purchase tn oks aid fit op a
suitable apartment iu which to keep them
for the use of both Houses o! Congress.
Aiming the members of the Semite Com
mittee assigned to the duty of carrying
this provision into effect was .latues A.
Bayard, of Delaware, grandfather of the
present Secretary ot State. Two years
later Congress provided for a Librarian at
$2 per day when actually employed. For
several years following the excesses of
the library must have been very small,
as in the year 1800 tiie sum of libO com
prised the appropriation for that pur
pose. and for tt;e five succeeding years
fl.ooo was appropriated annually. At
the end of fourteen years the whole num
ber of books accumulated wa# 3,000. On
.the evening of Aug. 24, lsl4. when the
British, und- r Gen. Ross, entered Wash
ington and burned the public buildings,
including ttie Capitol, the library was de
stroyed. Emin that time the Congres
sional Library ceased to exist, until
January of the following year, when
Congress nurebased for $23,950, tlje lib .
rary ot I’resident Jefferson, containing
0,700 volumes. For thirty-six years after
Ibis the library continued to increase In
size, importance atnl uselulness, until
Dec.2t,!,S)l,when 35,000 volumes werede

THE PROPOSED NEW LIBRARY BUILDING.

atroyed by fire. Congress then took the
mutter seriously in baud. iuiU in 1852 tc.
propriated $72,500 for repairing the lib.
rary and $75, (100 for the purchase
©f new books. 'i’ho letter of Mi. Jeffer
son, couveving to Congress the offer
to sell ltis Horary, contained the follow,
tne characteristic paragraph, copied ver
batim: ‘'They may he valued by persons
named by themselves, and the payment
made convenient to the public; it may be,
lor instance, in witch annual installments
ub the laws of Congress bus left at their
disposal, or In stock of any ol their lute
loans or any loan they may Institute at
this session, so as to spare the present
calls of the country, and await its days ot
peace and prosperity. They may enter,
nevertheless, into hntnedlute use of It, as
eighteen or twenty wantons would plaoe
It In Washington in a single trip of a fort
night.”
Vear by year the needs and nseessl.
ties ol tbe library have increased its ex
penses, and Us rapid growth has out
•tripped all other institutions of the kind
in the world, as will lie readily seen when
h.,r.m'.’J2. mb ? re<ltl, * tln I*® there was
nowlutnes to start with, and that
"i wii.*!* ur r ov p 650,000 vol'tr.ies. Ami
na ajsO wiwUlt ia -.nnamanaurala
with is rapid growth. Like all great
j government libraries its law of increase
i can no longer be governed by the reuutre
inentsof tin* national Legislature, it mis
j come to bo the repreeniutive anil custo
dian oi the cm tiro literature of the eoun
tiv. Through the operations of the copy
right law it receives and preserves copies
id all thobooks, periodicals, maps,charts,
amt works of art, for which exclusive
rig, t ot public ition is secured to the au-
Umrs or publishers. These entries num
ber about 20,000 a year. In addition to
this source of increase, which costs the
government nothing and brings in every
hook of any value produced in the coun
try. the library is largely recruited from
the following sources: First, from thean-
I nmil deposits of hooks by the Smithsouiau
j Institution, whose library was incor
porated With tho Congressional Library
in Utiii. These books are most wholly
| scientific, representing the transaction's
I of most of the learned societies of tho
world, in every department of inquiry,
and in all languages. Second, from de
posits of the public documents of Con
gress, and every State in tho Union; the
reports of Chambers of Commerce and
Hoards of Trade and the donations of so
cieties and individuals. The works se
cured under this bead are valuable lor
statistical and commercial information.
Third, from a system of international ex
changes, through which fifty sets of the
documents of Congress" and other
government publications are ex
changed with foreign governments,
whereby tae library is being
constantly enriched with the freshest offi
cial documents as well as with many
books dealing with the natural history,
resources, explorations, surveys, and
commercial and financial statistics of atl
the Fading govei iiments of the two hem
ispheres. Fourth, from ttie expenditure
of an appropriation of about sll 000 per
ann it in m the purchase ot Valuable books,
childly published abroad and uselul to
Congress in its labors us well as for pub
lic reference. A great many important
periodicals and other serials are kept, in
cluding all the most important reviews,
magazines, and political, literary, and
sclent lie journals. The vast range and
.alue of the modern periodical press
is fully recognized in the Library
of the United States, which now has
8,000 volumes of bound newspapers, rep
resenting more iliau two centuries of time
as to Europe and a century and a half as
to American journals. About one bun
dle t daily newspapers are regularly taken
and bound, although, owing to the neglect
of Congress, there is nowhere so much as
twenty feet of room where they could be
filed for examination, and they have to
be kept piled in alphabetical heaps until
the volumes are complete for binding.
Among the later large additions is the
library of the Snntbsoniau Institution
recently incorporated with this, and the
giftol Dr. Joseph M. Toner of his valua
ble collection ol 27,000 volumes.
So wonderfully complete are the collee
t ons in all depart tm nts that it is often pos
sible to iind nearly every book on a certain
subject piloted m the English langiiiv-e
during the past one hundred years. In
some cases those seeking the widest la-
ill,
formation of a special matter can have
spread before them, within a sbort time,
every printed page, in book or pamphlet,
bearing ou the subject, which has come
from the American, English, French and
German presses for over a century—pages
dim with age or bright and fresh from the
publishers’ hands—the collections in an
cient and rare historical works, and in
books aud pamphlets pertaining to the
history ot Stales, counties and towns.
Among the very rare works are
two great volumes written on vellum,
issued in the thirteenth century, a copy of
Eliot’s Indian Bible, and toe various
works written by Cotton and Increase
Mather. The departments of miscellane
ous literature are very full also. Many
an old novel forgotten long ago; many a
poem, song or plav, dead and burled tor
two or three score of years, can be ex
humed from this vast literary catacomb.
The aim has been to collect everything
published iu the Unit! and states that could
bs obtained, and as much of foreign liter
ature as possible. Only members of Con
gress and about, forty nigh officials have
the right to take books away from the
library, but many residents ot Washing
ton have no difficulty iu obtaining any
book tbey want, to take to their homes,
through "orders from some accommodat
ing Congressman or Senator with
whom they happen to be acquainted. All
personsover lfiyearsof age have the privi
lege of freely using the books inside the
halls, and every day the rooms are tilled
with readers, many of whom come from
various sections ot the country to avail
themselves ol tbe use of these literary
stores In their resources upon different
subjects. This library, gathered prima
rily for the use of the legislative and
judicial branches of the government, has
now grown so entirely beyond tbe wants
of Congress that its use and hem tits
should not be confined within the original
limits. When the new building is erected
an effort will be made to have It open
every day and every evening of the week
as a free public library.
There is little doubt that the President
will sign the House bill, and that worg
upon tho new structure will be speedily

The Royal Library of Munich has now
