The Trustees of the Public Library, Museums, and National Gallery of Victoria have the honor to report- 1. After the passing of the Act of Incorporation, by an advertisement in the Government Gazette, No. 10, Friday, February 4th 1870, the following notification appeared :- "TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, MUSEUMS, AND NA'I)ONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA. "The GOI'ernor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has been pleased to appoint the uncler mentioned gentlemen to be Trustees under the provisions of the Act No. 357 fo\' the government of the Public Library, Museums, and National Gallery of Victoria, viz. :-- The Honorable Sir W.

(Signed) "JOHN A. MACPHERSON, "Chief Secretary's Office, "Chicf Secretary. :' Melbourne, 1st Feb. 1870." 2. The first meeting of the Trustees was held on the 7th February 1870, at the Executive Council Chamber, and after deliberation at that and subsequent meetings, it was resolved- 1. That His HOllOI' Sir Redmond Barry be appointed President, and the Hon. Archibald Michie Vice-President, for the year. , 2. That, for the more convenient and efft~ctive performance of the duties imposed on the Trustees, a distribution of those duties should be made. Accordingly five Committees were appointed, as follows :- A.-THI,' LIBRARY COMMITTEE. His Honor Sir Redmond B!trry, Chairman. The Hon. Sir Francis Murphy. The Han. Sir William Foster Stawe.ll. David Charteris Macarthur, Esq. The Hon. Sir James F. Palmer. B.-THE INDUSTlUAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ~fUSEUl\IS COMMITTEE. The Hon. Samuel Henry Bindon, Chairman. I The HOIl. John A. MacPherson.

John O'Shanassy, Chairman. John Badcock. Esq. The Hon. James McCulloch. Charles E. Bright, Esq. DI1,vid Charteris Macarthur, Esq. 3. The preparation of rules and regulations for the conduct of the general business of the whole body of the Trustees, for that of the respecti ve Sectional Committees und their officers, for the guidance aud government of the students in the different schools, and for the,general information of the public, occupied the careful attention of the Trustees for some time. During that period experience of their working was gained, and, some modification and alterations having been made, they were finally adopted, passed the seal, and were submitted to His Excelleney the Governor in Council for approval. 4, The different Sectional Committees were also much ell gaged in organising plans for the effective working of the Mllseums, Galleries, and Sehools. They have, in separate reports which accompany tilis, given in detail particulars of what has been accompli,;hed by them for the amalgarmLiion of the collections, for the classification and arrangement of the objects displayed, as well as for the progress made in schools, and of the result of the series of lectures delivered in the spring of the year. , , 6 5. A reference to these will enal)le you to observe that the interest taken by the public in the Library and Galleries of Art is not diminished, and that a new stimulus of a most active and healthy nature is given to the instruction, on true scientific principles, of different portions of the community. 6. Mr. Montefiore, one of the Trustees, a member of the National Gallery Committee, having left Victoria to live in New South Wales, resigned his office. ' 7. The pressure of the administration of the institution on the Trustees' renders it desirable that the \ vacancy should be filled up at an early date. 8. ·The portico in the centre of the west' front, commenced in the year 1869, wa.s completed at the end of the year 1870. 'It has added much to the dignity and embellishment of the building.. 9. The estimates fOl' the ensuing year have been submitted, and a,confident hope is expressed that (being moderate in amount) they will be accepted in their integrity by your Government, and that the same prudent liberality which has hitherto animated the representatives of the people ill dealing with the votes for this institution will be displayed when these are brought up for consideration. 10. It is thought desirable that the Trustees should be allowed to rely with certainty on obtaining at fixed perjods authority to enable them to draw from the Treasury such portions of the sums voted by Parliament as may be required to pay punctually tIle accounts of tradesmen and others with whom they deal, and to t~ke advantage of occasions which present themseh'es of making purchases on favorable terms. II. The nece~sity for certainty in the conduct of such transactions is obvious, for it is of the highest importance that the efficiency and the reputation of the institution should be maintained. The Trustees therefore express a hope t4at they may in future be allowed to exercise the not unreasonable privilege of claiming such payments q-qarterly. 12. The amoll,nt of receipts and disbursements audited, required by law, is annexed. REDMOND BARRY,'President. March 29, 1871. ,/ REPORT OF THE COM}HTTEE OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, MUSEUMS, AND NATIONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA, OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTION FROM THE YEAR 1853 TO 'rHE YEAR 1869, AND FOR THE YEAR 1870-1. .,. I:-=>UBLIO LIBRARY. REPORTo THE Committee of Trustees of the Public Library have the honor to report- 1. Before the passing of the Act' of Incorporation under the provisions of which the institution is now governed, the Trustees have been, honored for fifteeu years with the duty of conducting its manage ment. During that time they were not called upon to report to Parliament, and periodical accounts of their transactions were consequently not furnished by them as is now required. 2. It was only by occasional addresses to the different Governors at the opening of various portions successively added to the building, by the publication in the newspapers of lists of books received, of donations, of letters accomp!mying them, or which treated of subjects of interest connected with the interior economy'or development of the different branches of the institution, that the Trustees were enabled to instruct the public from time to time as to thtlir proceedings. . 8. These circumstances appear to justify their exercising the privilege of prefixing to the account of their doings in the Pllst year a brief history of the growth of the institution under their former administration, and thus placing on record what has been transmitted by them to the present incorporated body. 4. They submit accordingly an account of what the provident statemanship of successive ministries, the liberality of Parliament, the generosity of uOllors, and the enlightened and considerate appreciation by the general pnblic of the spirit in which they labored, have empowered them to accomplish. 5. Following the chronological succession of events- It is proposed to deal separately and in detail with each subject, as follows :- 1st. THE BUILDING.-2nd. THE BOOKs.-3rd. THE MUSEulIfs.-4th. THE SCHOOLS. THE TRUSTEES. 6. The Trustees appointed by His Excellency Charles Joseph LaTrobe, C.B., by proclamation in the Government Gazette of the 20th July 1853, were :- Thc Honorable William Foster Stawell, Esq., Attorney-General, now Sir William Foster Stawell, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Honorable James Frededck Palmer, Esq., Speaker of the House of Assembly, now Sir James Frederick Palmer, for many years President of the Legislative Council. The Honorable Hugh Culling Eardly Childers, Esq., now Member of Parliament for Pontefract, England. His Honor Mr. Justice Barry, senior Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court, now Sir Redmond Barry. David Charteris Macarthur, Esq. And by proclamation of the 4th September 1863- The Honorable Sit· Francis ~1urphy, Speaker of the Legislative A!.Isembly, in the room of Mr. Childers, resignetl. Immediately after their appointment, the first five named Trustees entered on their duties; a sum of £10,000 for the building was voted by Parliament, and a grant of land, comprising two acres as a site for a. building, was made to them. . This land they inclosed, the borders were trenched, the soil was enriched and planted with standard forest trees and ornamental flowering shrubs. Designs for the building were called for without loss of time, and from many highly creditable to the competing architects, one by Mr. Reed was selected, the chief excellences of which consisted in the becoming exterior features, the convenient iutel'llal accommodation, and the possibility of enlargement in portions, not demanding at one time any very considerable outlay, capable of being erected without obstruction to the use and enjoyment of the remainder. The foundation stone of this was laid by His Excellency Sir Charles Hotham, on the Brd of JuJy 1853, the same day as that upon which was laid the first stone of the University of Melbourne. An outlay of seventy-three thousand three hundred pounds, expended in additions to the original centre block, has brought the building to its present dimensions. THE BUILDING. 7~ The building of the Library proper, at present completed, forms only a portion of the western front. The structure is of solid masonry, the material used for the ends, back, and interior dividing walls is basalt, a dense compact stone of a blue colour; for the front, a handsome freestone, imported from Kangaroo Point, near Hobart Town, in Tasmania. 8. It stands on a broad terrace, reached by two successive flights of steps and two broad landing places, at a distance of 120 ft. from Swanston street, one of the finest thoroughfares in Melbourne, a:nd, like the other principal streets, 99 ft. wide. 10 9. It is carried out in the Romano-Corinthian style of architecture, the columns and pillars placed in , stylobate, and surmounted by a parapet partly of moulded panelling and partly of balusters, the height from the ground to the top of the parapet being 52 ft. . 10. On the ground floor is an entrance hall, 50 x 50 ft. Large pillars support the first floor. On the south side are apartments used as temporary offices, and a room 55 x 50 ft., in which are placed coins, seals, medals, and illustrations of various branches of the Fine Arts, together with ethnotypical objects, chiefly from Australasia and the South Sea Islands. 11. On the north is a cham bel' 95 x 50 ft., in which are placed casts of modern statues and busts. 12. On the first floor are three chambers-a central chamber 50 x 50 ft., the southern and northern, each 95 x 50 ft., not separated from each other by doors or partitions. -13. The reading room is thus 240 ft. long, 50 ft. wide, and 3,0 ft. high. 14. The gallery running round the room is supported by cross walls, at right angles to the main walls, connected with columns which stand at a distance of 13 ft. fi'om the latter,and support the roof. 15. A elear space of 25 ft. is left in the'centre of the room, and in the intercolumnar recesses books are placed back to back behind the columns, dividing the whole room into 26 open compartments 13 ft. high. 16. In the gallery the books are ranged against the outer walls, the thickness of which and of t4e backs of the cases, made of ~-inch tirtlb~r, guard sufficieI)tly against damp. Books of large size are placed in cases against the balusters of the gallery. ' I ' " ,,'; , , 17. Light is admitted by windows in the front arid rear, 9 x 4 ft., one ill each compartment, as well as by cupolas in the roof, glazed with bent glass-the bent in Melbourne-and by horizontal windows, countersunk in perforated panels in the galleries. , 18. At night the rooms are lighted by seven handsome gasaliel's suspended from the ceiling in t,he centre with eight globes, each of strong illuminating power. In every compartment or bay are a~so two gas jets. 19. In addition to the air introduced through the windows, ventilation is secured by open spaces left; over every bookcase, communicating with flues carried through the main walls; also by ail' tubes leading from the base of the columns to the roof. 20. These precautions secure in the reading 1'00m'a pure atmosphere and nearly equable temperature, which may be regulated even when the ilUmber of readers exceed 600. 21. The free circulatioll,of pure ail' prevents the gas from producing ally, of the injUl'ious effects on the leather binding ;01' gilding of the books, so serious a cause of complaint in libraries in Europe, where due. attention has not been bestowed on this matter. 22. In this particular, strong corroboration is given to the testimony of the scientific men-Faraday, Hoffmann, Tyndall, Redgrave, Fowke--;-who reported to the Lords of the Privy Council, in 1859, on ~~~ , , 23; In the year 1866, on the occasion of the holding in Melbourne of the Intercolonial Exhibition, advantage was taken of the central position of the Library to meet the wants of the time, and additions were made to the building, completing in part the first square-according to the original design-carried up to the first story. This gives a Great Hall, i:unning parallel to the Library, 220 ft. long by 82 ft. wide and 48 ft. high, now used as an Industrial and Technological Museum. ' , 24. It is connected with the Library by two wings, each 230 ft. long, one of which no,:" serves the purpose of a temporary Picture Gallery, while in the other are casts of the Frieze of Parthenon obtained from the British Museum, as also casts of antique statues. 25. Between the Gre;tt, Hall and the Library, connecting the two, is a Rotunda; 71 ft. in diameter, intended for'the great staircase to conc;uct visitors to the'Library and Gallery of the Museums. 26. The foundations and walls of the Great Hall, of the Rotunda, and the back walls of the wings carried up to the first floor, are of the thickness intended for the permanent building. 27. The upper story and roof are of temporary work, as are also the exterior walls of the wings, the· material of which walis may at a future time beemp\oyed in, raising the back walls to their contemplated height, when they will be replaced by others of solid masonry, repeating the architectural features of the western wing. ' ' . " , , 28. The interior courts are available for the disposal of la,rge rough objects connected with those to be placed in the Hall. 29. In the years 1869-1870 the Portico was added, corresponding in style with the rest of the structure, and of the purest type. ' 30. It is octo-style, with inter-columniations of two diameters. The columns, which are flnted, with carved capitals and modillions, stand on pedestals 6 ft. 6 in. high, of the same height as the stylobate which surrouI)ds the building. They are 3 ft. in diameter, and 30 ft. higll. 31. The entablature is surmounted by a pediment of 7 ft. 6 in. in height. 32. The front of the columns of the two end bays stand 12 ft. 6 in. from the cqrresponding pilasters of the main wall. The space behind the five centre hays is of the depth of 18 ft. The total height from the bottom of the stylobate to the apex of the pediment is 56 ft. 6 in. 33. The primitive name of the institution is carved on the frieze, and it is intended to fill the tympanum of the pediment with sculpture. The piers of the attic at the back of, and flanking the pediment, and also the principal piers of the parapet, ;tre to be adorned with appropriate statues. 34. It will be satisfactory to all interested in the stability of the structure to be informed that a watchful supervision was exercised at each stage of the enlargement, and that while the best materials a~d workmanship have been employed, attention has been devoted to meeting the, wants and convenience of readers, and the preservation of: the valuable proper,ty assembled in the building. ' Due regard has been paid to maintain in all parts, without any superfluous ornament or unnecessary outlay, a harmony in keeping with the dignity' of the institution. The Trustees may conclude thiR portion of their Report with"the 'expression of a confident hope that the people' of Victoria may now feel themselves so warmly interested in ,the progress of their Library and its associated Museums, Galleries. and Schools. that they' will not cease in their efforts to stimulate their l'ulel's to complete the structure at an early period, and carry out in their iritegrity the objects originally designed, as well as those which the altered circumstances of the country, and the intelligent demand for still more ample means of instruction and self-improvement, have created. 11 SCHEDULE I.

In' the readil!lg rooms, the fittings and furniture have been designed and carried out with regard to the architectural features of the interior. They are made of a cedar-a timber indigenous to New South Wales, resembling mahogany in grain and color-and are of the best workmanship. 36. One table is placed in the central chamber, capable of accommodating ten readers; three run down ,the middle of each wing, giving room for about 100 persons; tables in the recesses receive abont 250; side, and other tables, including those in the ladies' room, about 100 more; and those in the galleries, about 200; so that about 650 readers can be provided at the same time with seats and the opportunity of study without inconvenience, crowding, or interruption. , '37. It may be here remarked, that after the constant use to which it has been exposed the furniture remains in excellent preservation, and has not suffered from ill usage of any kind. SCHEDULE m.

The Library is constructed so as to meet the wants of casual readers IlS well as of those who pursue continuous studies; it is, therefore, at the same time, a place for the deposit of books, and for the assemblage of readers. 39. The latter are allowed to help themselves to the books they want, instead of being, as in most other libraries, supplied with them by the officers of the establishment, on a requisition in wdting more or less complicated. 40. The impediments thereby caused to the enjoyable, satisfactory, and unintelTupted pursuit of any study are thus avoided, and the expense of maintaining a staff of officers to carry out such a plan, with so large a number of readers as visit this Library, is much diminished. "41. In order to obviate many of the difficulties which in some libraries 'can be surmounted only by officers long trained to know the position of the books on the shelves, a classification according to subjects has been adopted by the Librarian, Mr. Tulk. , 42. The system is inductive, leading from works which treat of the lowest organizations of animal life, to those dealing with the highest form of mental speculation. The books are distributed, as shown in the accompanying plan, in open chambers or recesses, each capable of containing about 2000 volumes. In those on the west side of the room are found works relating to the distinct departments of Rcience, Geography, Mathematics, Arts, and Manufactures; on the other, the east, books on History and General Literature, in all languages. 43. This arrangement has proved convenient alike to students and occasional readers, and to the officers of the establishment. ' . '44. General visitors are dispersed through the rooms, and attracted to the special compartments in which are placed the works they respectively desire. The student finds brought together on the spot all the works bearing on the subject of his enquiry, and as the books ,may be referred to or read, as already observed, without any restraint on the reader, in or near. the subdivision where they are deposited, the constant walking to and fro of the visitors and attendants, so fatal to comfortable study in some libraries, !loes not occur. 12 45. In a collection so varied it is to be expected that books of different sizes are to be found; still the majority are octavos, and this form has in all instances been preferred where it has been possible to procure books published of that size, due regard being paid to procure the best editions. The upper carcases of thc cases are expressly made to hold such books, the lower portions for folios and quartos. For tall copies and large folios-chiefly illustrative of voyages and travels, natural history and botany, medicine and surgery, architecture and the arts-room is provided in the galleries, in cases specially adapted for that purpose. 46. Over each case in the recesses is placed a panel having printed on it in large gold letters the nature of the works in the compartment, and small labels with similar iudications as to subdivisions of the main subject are attached to the various shelves or divisions of them whei'e necessary. 47. In the galleries are the publications of the Imperial Patent Office of Great Britain, comprised in 3161 volumes. Also the votes and proceedings of the Imperial Parliament from the year 1820, consisting of 1471 volumes, and works from all the departments of the Public Service of Great Britain, including those published by the Record Commission and the Master of the Rolls, numbering 325 volumes. 48. On the south side of the galleries are placed works on medicine and surgery, accompanied by anatomical diagrams of life size,' printed and coloreu, accessible to members of the medical profession and students, on application to the librarian or sub-librarian. 49. At the north end works on law, including all the reports in all tbe superior courts of law and equity, accessible to members of the profession and students without any such restriction as last mentioned. 50. Works of general polity, commercial, stati~tical, banking, and p,olitico-econoll1ic literature, are also grouped in the galleries, as well as the stat.utes and proceedings of the Legislatures of many of the colonies'of the British Empire; also some of the States of Europe, and the United States of Amm'ica- Government Gazettes and State Papers. . 51. Close to these are ranged publications relating to Australasia which have emanated from the press of the various Australian colonies, as also fl'om that of Great Britain, and most of the countries of Continental Europe. Great pains have been taken to reudel' this collection as comprehensive as possihle, and to bring it up to the latest date. It consists of 1.'586 volumes, containing in almost all instances several pamphlets in each volume, classified under the heads of the different colonies. These, with the papers printed by authority, and the Australian newspapers mentioned in the schedule, furnish copious material for the history of Australia when it may be written, ·52. In the immediate. neighbourhood of these works are placed all the maps issued by the Survey office, showing all the subdivisions of the lands of Victoria from the earliest times, as also a large portion of thoBe of New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, and Queenslnnd. 53. These are bound ill volumes, and indexed. With their aid, and that of the maps of the Geolo gical Survey of Victoria, as far as they exteud, information respecting the topographical and physical features of any lands sold by the Crown in Victoria can be speedily obtained. 54. Various Atlases, and series of maps bound in volumes, or mounted and hung on the walls for general reference, are also to be' found in the galleries, find in the newspaper compartment. 55 .. With the exception of donations and books bought in Melbourne, every book has been ordered by. name, and in their directions to the booksellers with wllOm they deal in London, Puris, Berlin, Brussels, and Amsterdam, the Trustees have been much influenced by the existence in Melbourne of three other libra. ries, with the management of one or other of which j;hey 'have 4ad the honor of being also connected. 56. Two of these, that of Parliament and of the University, although exclusive as to the admission of readers, partake somewhat of a national character, being formed and maintained out of the public funds; the third, that of the ,Supreme Court, supported wholly by fees paid by practitioners in the law, is strictly professional. 57. The first of these contains chiefly works on constitutional history, polity, statistics, and the allied subjects. The second, classics ancient and modern, science, natural philosophy, natural history, aud those which treat of the various topics connected with education. The third is confined to law, history, and general jurisprudence. 58. While during the first years of their foundation the endeavour was to keep each of those three as closely as might well be within the limits of its especial intention, ViZ'ito supply the p~t1,ticul::tr and technical information required by the statesman, the student, and the practising lawyer, the efforts of the Trustees were directed to make the resources of the Public Library supplemental to those, in order to avoid the needless multiplication of copies of the same book. . 59. They procured at fil'st only the leading authorities on the particular branches ofIcarning provided for in thcm, the common sources ofrefcrence for readers of [Ill classes, without which no library could be complet.e. 60. They filled in on a liberal scale all the most appr'oved authorities on othcr professional and scientific branches of occupation, and provided largely for all which bear upon disco-veries in physical science and the practical arts, ali!i which help to unfold the natural and artificial rcsources of the country. 61. These primary wants having received the eal:liest aDd most ample consideration, fed' by the continuous current of the latest publications, the Trustees have been enabled to diverge into other directions, to bddge over the intel'spaces, to connect the links in the chain, and so to balance the supply as to leave no cl!!,ss of literature wholly unrepresented. , 62. The result is, that the aggregate contents of the four libraries, amounting to 111,921 volumes, give probably not more than 15,000 replicas of thc same authors. 63. It is somewhat difficult to convey by this merely classified enumeration the prevailing character of the literature. It may, perhaps, be best comprehended by negatives. Works usually classed as works of fiction and of the imagination, and those which in some catalogues are entered under the head of "litera ture for juveniles," arc not represented in this library to any considerable extent; in fact, do not exceed 300 volumes. . 64. Books of injurious tendency are not displayed here. Those of a purely ephemeral description and of transient value, mere literary curiosities or rarities, expensive manusCI'ipts, those simply recommended hy their sumptuous bin'ding or illustration, have hitherto been set aside for those which commend themselves for their substantial merit and sterling value. 65. Nevertheless, special subjects have not escaped due notice, and the taste of those who cultivate peculiar departments of science and literature has been consulted. 66. Attention is therefore called merely to such wor~s as the Abbe Migne's Repertorium of 1300 _I. 13 writers in Patristic Theology, and JIistory in 326 volumes; the Bollandist Acta Sanctorum, in 56 volumes; Audubon and Gould on the Birds and :Fauna of America and Australia, the first published in 4 volumes of elephant folio, the other in 7 volumes large folio; Silvestre's Palreographie, in 4 volumes, folio; Denon, 2 volumes in double elephant; and Lepsius' Egypt, in 12 volumes, elephant folio; Grevius and Gronoviue Thesaurus, 82 volumes, folio; Litta's Italian Families, 8 volumes, folio; Pertz's lYIedireval German History, 18 volumes, folio; the Times, from the year 1807 ; the galleries of Dresden, Versailles, Florence, Naples, II Vaticano, British Museum, &c., &c.; a complete series of most of the publications of the literary clubs in Europe; with several hundred volumes of the like consequence and importance, usually found only in the hands of those who with unstinted wealth encourage the prosecution of some favourite study, or on the shelves of libraries of the first order in old long-established cities. 67. These have been assiduously followed up by an ample accession of kindred works on the same and cognate subjects-regard for the quality of liteyature, not the number of the books being the dominant rule-and the intelligent visitor will admit that due resl)ect has been paid to the obligation by which the Trustees consider themselves bound, namely, that it was their duty to lay broad and deep the foundations on which was to be built up a superstructure of sound learning in this Institution. Annexed is a. Schedule of the Book,S in the Library at the end of the year 1869, classified according to subject. SCHEDULE IV.

Care has been taken to supply adequate information to readers by furnishing catalogues of the contents of the Library. 69. A general catalogue was published in the year 1862, and contained a list of all the works then in the possession of the Trustees. 70. The increase of books was so rapid about that time that it became necessary to publish a supple mentary catalogue in the year 1866. The large additions made since that time render it imperatively necessary that a new edition, comprising all now in the Library, should be printed. 114 . 71. The form adopted'in the first instance was continued in the second publication.' The system oli which they were compiled is simple and uniform. In the :first portion lIames of the authors are given in alphabetical sequence, those in' each letter forming, a separate pnmphlet, with an initial ::tnd final ornament executed with remarkable skill mid taste, by Mr. Bateman, illustrating a spray or flower of a tree, shrub, or plant indigenous to Victoria. Having duly weighed the considerations put forward by the most experienced librarians as to the best form ·of catalogu'e, the Trustees have adopted this one, which is marked'by'some distinguishing characteristics of its own', ' 72. The name of each author is given, with his Christian name or names at full length when knoWll;' and the edition, size, number of volumes, place !lnd date of publication follow. ' , ", 73. If there be more than one work by the same writer, they are placed in chronological succession of their issue from the press. At the end is an index of subjects in which the names of the authors who have written in each branch of literature, science, or art are supplied. . 74. Thns the strength and resources of the Library in anyone such 'branch up to the dates of their respective publications can be immediately ascertained. . 75. There is also in each recess a catalogu'e raisomde 1;:ept in manuscript, and written npto the latest date, whh the like alphabetical and descriptive eilUmeration of the works ·there. These, with the plans of distribution of the books hung up in several places, the printed announcements, and the tablets on the shelves 'to which alll,lsion has been already made, furnish a full account of the contents of each recess. THE BINDING. 76. The binding is strong and serviceable,.bllt not costly; full binding in leather preponderates, half binding is used for long series of books .of rcference ; the work has been executed in the best manner' in London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, and Melbourne; and that of the Melbourne binders .compares not unfavor ably, both as t{) price' and quality, with that executed in the fornler capitals. ,The books are armed on the side with the'device of the J.,ibrary and the motto ' "Delectant domi non'impediunt.foris peregrinantur; " on those. of the lending library the' word, " Rusticantur" ,. , is added. A bookbinder is constantly employ'ed ou the premises, and 'any book which has suffered.' injury is immediately repaired. . 77. The gilding on the backs of .the b90ks has been by some persons considered an uimeoessary expense. When examined, the' objection is in itself of little moment, "for the' addition'a1 cost' is trifling. It is moreover the fact that greater attention is paid by the binder to the kind of mateiial used, ap.d the durability of the workmanship expendell on the: binding of the SUl)erior description than of the common class. Gilding, moreover, preserves the leather from the effects 'of the SUll'S rays, as 'well as from' tHe attacks of insects, an important consideration in thifj climate. . ..' .: . - 78. The experience of fourteen years has proved that the books most expensively bound have ~asted wen, and are still in good' condition; while' those in common chenp covers, especially those bound in Germany, submitted to a similar amount of tise, have been repaired, and, in some instances;three' times re-bound. The style of binding has, furthermore, its nses, social as well as practical. 79. The readers appear to have more interest in', pay more respect to, and take more care of, a book somewhat handsomely bound than. of cine in a cloth cover, which retains dust, warps, and soon loses its shape. ' 80. A volume of becoming exteriqr; in unison with the features and fittings qf the room, bdngs them, as it were, nearer to the presence of.. tl~e,a~thor, than one hardly held together by its cover, dqg-'Elared .. and defiled by pencil marks or notes of frivolous commentators, who are prone to take liberties with.a book..,in a dilapidated state which they would not presume to do with one in good preservation. . This feeling 'communicates itself to others, und helps to 'generate a. tone of respectful behaviour whichmj1rks in a couspicuous manner those who habitually resort to the Library. " 81. Lettering pieces on the hacks of the books of different colored leather, according to, the nature. of 'the subject, give a distinctive charactedstic to eiwh class of literature. This helps the eye of the reader in search of his author, and the attendants in, the~I:adjustment of the books on the shelves. A volume misplaced may thus be instantly detected by even an illiterate person.. ' 82. Holland blinds, hung on rollers, 'drawn Page NUffi?er Name ! • •• I Edition, • Snelf. of AutllOl. Size. Vola.

The donations are so numerous and form so notable a feature as to elaim eSRecial mention, and to demand this public acknowledgment ,of the gratitude of ,the Trustees, _ addition to' that almady more particularly expressed. r , 91. Of these many are of the highest order of literary and scientific merit, many of a class and of an expensive chal'acter which the resources at the command of the Trustees would not have enabled them to purchase~ , ' , 92. Many are not procurable otherwise than through the munificence of the Sovereigns of several of the States of Europe, or the courtesy of different departments of the publi~ service of the United Kingdom and of foreign countries. ' , 93. To the liberality of several literary and seientific soeieties and of private individuals, the Trustees are also-largely indebted, as well as to the courteous and assiduous intermediation of the Gonsuls of the " different forei~n countries. ' . 94. The Imperial Geological Society of Austria has forwarded a large body of scientific productions of great practical usefulness, in apdition to one previously given' by it and by the Imperial Geographical Society. , , ' 95. The Royal Society of Northern Antiquarians of Denmark have, through the instrumentality of the distinguished historian Rafn, sent from Copenhagtn a rare a'nd curious set of chronicles connec,ted with the history of the nations of the north 'of. Europe, including a complete series of Icelandic Sagas. compileu and published under the supervision of the ArnCl3ll Magn$Ban Society, and' under the auspices of the Danish Government. And to,the University of yopenhagen the Trustees are beholden for help heartily given. 96. The assistance afforded by the British Government has admitted oLtho amplification of some branches of civil history, polity, and lwlitical science, the defective condition of which in the, Libra)'Y had been felt by the Public. ' . 97. 'The Lords of the Treasllry, the Wa1' Office, dH: Ordnance, -LIfe Admiralty, furnished an extensive supply of military and naval history, surveys, maps, 'and charts in which the Library had been for sometime deficien.t. , i' , ' '98. Tbe Board's of Trade and Education gave a comprehensive series of their publications. 99. The Commissioners of Patents, the whole of their specifications published since the reign of King J ames,the First.. ;rhese publications are of in~alculable value in a country where, as in this, it is so necessary to economise labour, and, where inventive genius, ever active, requires to be instructed as tp the failure of misdirected energy and the limits of' discovery,already reached; they are brought down, bound, " 'to the eU(~ of the year 1869. '1'l1e plans placed at the enu of the letter-press are all backed on strong linen, well let in to the backs of the book", more than 40,000 yards of this l1]aterial having been employed by the binders. The coul1try already possesses two complete sets of' this work; one lies in tll.e library of the Houses of Parliam!"nt, neither alTanged 1101' bound, Hud accessible only to those who '(>njoy the exclusive pAvilege of membership; the other in the office of Patents, for the "ole use of the 0{1ice1's of that departmellt; so that the community at large derive comparatively little benefit primarily from the libent!ity of the Commis sioners. In this Library, brought dowll to EO late 'a date,·rhe Puillic in general Imye oPIlortuuities ofl :s2' 20 unrestricted consultation of the whole series, ~nd such publicity is given to the results of speculative inven tion in the mother country, as 'to preclude the possibility of successful plagiarism or piracy of... the protected ideas of others. ' - 100. The T~ustees of the British Museu~ have presented all the bogks ~ssued by their authority, i.ncluding a fac-simile of the Old Testament from the Alexandrine Codex, in 6 vols. foli.o. From the Foreign Office was received,a colleytion of papers not otherwise 'obtainable . . To the Chairman of Committees of the House, of Lords, and the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Trustees owe the Votes and Proceedings of both Houses of Parliament; and to the Master orthe ,Rolls, the voluminous labours _of' the Record Commission and the Rolls publications. .' \ SCHEDULE XXI.

'The Lending Library is conducted on a system different fro~ that fl!:'comIl1on use elsewhere., No single volumes are lent out; thus the heavy chllIges of supplying numerous copies of the same work, th,e expense and trouble of daily issuing, receiving, checking, alld collating the' books; the onerous and invidious references as to the respectability of the'borr9\~'ers, the requisitions' and' guarantees, the inconve~ nience arising from detention and loss of volumes, and consequent irksome' nec~ssity for ,c\lforcing fines and compensation are aU 3tvoided. I, ",' "" , 102. Books, in numbers varying from I 00 to 200,'0~ 300, are lent ~tQ' Publiy l;ibrl}rics,' Mechanics' Institutes, or Athenreums, for periods ex'tending over three, follI', or ~ix months, with furt,her extension 'of time if required, on the conditions given below. ,; I '", , 'i ' , ] 03. They are packed in cases of oak, bound with brass, lined with green baize; ,the shelves arc of , such depth that the books are not allo,ved to suffej· .from friction in travelling. _ ' , J04. Each case contains about fifty volumes, the weight on an average~about 112 lbs., and having , ' strong handles at each sidc is raised without much difficulty by one man. ' It ,is. Closed' with a sliding door, on the inside of which is a list of the contents, wilh the value of ,each volnme;'and a printed form of the conditions of the loan. Each case is covered with' a'waterproof tarpaulin; to protect it when'on'it~ journey. "'11en placed back to back on Ij. table or one 'on the otller and the doors are' removed, they serve as open bookcases, and there is consequently no necessity to remove the ,books from them' and place them on other shelves. ' , 105. The books th\l-8 lent are duplicates of those in the' General Library, selectea' with due reference ,to the ordinary collections 'generally found to exist h~, the Institutions to which these loans arc made. When a series of lectures is about to be given at any Literary Institution in the interior ,of the country, one or more cases containing works on the sul)ject to he illustrated can be supplied. Assistance: is thus afforded- to the lecturer and' the me,mbers.of his class or, audience, who can pursue at their leisure'the study of the works to which_they hll.,ve beel!J.'eferred. , ' , , :', " , ,': " ~ 106.

T:h:e' plan is capable of still further expansion, ata cost trifling. in comparison,with the amount of benefit conferred on .those re~raent in remote parts of the country. .' ',,'" ' 11 O. It ,is calculated to increase the interest felt in the ,welfare of this in~titl!tion, to improve the .relations between it and· those in the interior, and to lead, it is hoped, at no distant time"to the association , with it of these bodies as colleges of .adults affiliatea. t?' a voluntary univer:sity of. adillts.

At the time ~f the foundation of the Institution the projected plan included, with the Library, a Museum of -Fine Arts dnd a Picture Gallery, to which would be eventually added a Drawing School and School of Design. - . , 112. The intention was to trace the outline or a scheme of general instruction by which the chief epochs of mental pre-eminence might be strongly defined, the relative modifications of thought, 'power of conception and demonstrlttion, peculiarity of method of treatment, and distinctive excellence of execution might be displayed, and a: new stimulus be given to the cultivation of the intellect, and'the elevation of the public taste: i . " ' 113. The proximity of the various objects would, as it was considered,' attract to them an observat!on more prolonged alld instructive than that bestoweq. during visits to isolated buildings in which they might be dispersed, and would I create and promote a sympathy between the different branches of Literature, Science, and Art, the continuity of whicl! would not oe so adequately maintaincd were the illustrations - deposited in different places; while the repeated and associate4 impressions thus produced would assist in ; f1,lrthering the design, and effectually advancing the general interests of learning. - 114. A portion of land containing two acres, abutting on Russell-street, and adjoining tbat on which the Library stands, was granted to the Trustees for the purpose of building upon it Museums of KatuI'al History, Natural and Applied Science, and to illustrate the application of the Industrial Arts. 1 J 5. The expendithre of £32,531 !6s: 6d.; voted for building, and·for the fitting and filling with its valuable contents, the National Mnseu!Jl in the grounds of the University, now by the Act'of Incorporation become youi' property, eff~ctually prevented the progress of the museums. projected for this site especi~lly allotted to them. . '116. The want of lspace to display pictures to advantage, and to enable students to receive instruc;' tion, crippled the exertion~ of the Trustees for several years; but as the entrance hall, with the chambers on the ground floor of the west wing, admitted of the introduction of works of another class, they resolved to cO!;llmence by exhiOiting'in them repr~~entations of sculpture, and other objects of art., _ , 117. In the al'Iiang~Ulent' of the former it waq)l'oposel} to adopt a definite plan, and to illustrate the historical !Ievelopment of the art of sculpture, commencing with types. of' the most remarkable, brought from Nineveh, Egypt, and Etl'u'ria ; proceeding thence through the Grecian and Gl'recO-ROmall schools, those. of the earliest medireval and later Italian eras, to modern times. ' 118. This project ,the liberality of Parliament fortunately' enabled them to carry out, and they accordingly obtained from: England, Rome, and' elsewhere, casts of some of the choicest figures, groups, b'usts, alti and bassi re11ev:i, by the most celebrated sculptors, ancient and modern; as also a collection,of coins and medals, wit,h va:I'ious illustrations ill carving, moulding, chasing and inlaying-some in the true nietal, some in ~ baser mat'erial; electrotyped to imitate the original, others in sulphur, wax, or composition from different parts of the ,world. _ . / 119.

The Amazons were a race of warrior women who inhabited the territory of the Caucasus, Some believe that the name means that they were not nursed at the breast, or were without breasts, or because eaeh had her right breast cut off that it might not impede the drawing of the bow ; others that it is derived from the Caucasian word for Artemis, the Moon, of which Deity they were' the priestesses, aud suggest that the injury to the breast may be accounted for by the laceration of the body in the paroxysms of their religious orgies.

II, By Sir William a'Beckett Original in the British Museum, Found A,D. 1766, at the Villa Strozzi, near Rome, close to the tomb of Cecilia Metella, wife of Cras8us. Sculptors, Criton and Nicolaus of Athens, They flourished in the time of Cicero, about B,O, 60, Winckelmann, ii. 377 ; or, in the time of the Antonines, about A,D. 150, Milller, 204, Height, 7 feet 3t inches, including the modius or basket on the head, . Restorations: the lower right arn~, left foot, and a small portion of the upper pa.rt of the modius . . The Canephorlll were maidens of the hhrhest rank at Athens, who assisted at the sacred festivals held in honour of ' Pallas Athene (Minerva), and bore upon their heads baskets containing offerings to the goddess; two of these, of "marvel lous beauty," the work.of Polyclitus, are'enumerated by Cicero amongst the art treasures of which Verres despoiled the city of Messina in Sicily. Cicero, Oration against Verres, v. 3, In the description of the ancient marbles in the British Museum, Part I" it is said that "'this is evidently an architec tural statue, one of the Caryatides, which supported the portico of an ancient building," probably a tomb. The Caryatides were intended to represent either the virgins who celebrated the worship of Diana Caryatis, or females of CarYIll, a town .in the Peloponnesus, which took the part of the Persians at the time of the invasion of Xerxes, B.o. 480. It was taken after a protraeted siege; the men were put to the sword, the women reduced to slavery. To commemorate the victory buildings were erected, the columns of which, were in the form of women robed in the style of the ca.ptives. Moore playfully alludes to them in his fifth fable for "the Holy Alliance : 'Tis like tnat sort of painful wonder Which slender columns, labouring under Enormous arches, give beholders ; Or those poor Caryatides, Condemned to smile and stand at ease With a whole house upon their shoulders. Male figures used for similar purposes were called, by the Greeks Atlantes, from Atlas, who, aecording to the early mythology, supported the heavens on his shoulders, and was metamorphosed by Perseus, by means of the head of Medusa, into the mountain chain in North Africa which still bears his name. , Pliny, xxxvi. 4; Ovid, Metam" iv. 630.

Mengs is of opinion that these are imitations of st[ltues made ilt a period when taste was brought to the greatest perfection amongst the Greeks. One of the proofs adduced to displace the idea that these are boxers is, that in thc statues of professional pugilists the cartilage inside the ear is generally crushed and flattencd as if by blows. The ears of these figures are perfect. See Anthol.

These, with Nos. 41, and 62 (as"numbered in the galleries and catalogues)"are taken from'the Elgin marbles, brought from Athens by Lord who obtained them while Ambassador at Constantinople, in the beginning of the present cel!tury, His co]iection was purchased for the use of the pliblic, .LD, 1815. These 'figures formed portion of the majestic composition in the eastern pedilllent of the Parthenon, the temple erected ill honor of (Athenc) Minerva, 'intended to represent the birth of the goddess whlJD she sprung fnlIgrowll, Lllld completely armed, from the brain of (Zeus) Jupiter. Paus, i. 24. In the centre was seated the ruler of Olympus; on his left 1land, like\\'ise sl.'at",d, was (Here) Juno; on his right stood (Hephais,tos) Vulcan, leaning,on the axe with which he had opened the head of Jupiter. Philostieon, Close to him stood tpe Virgin Goddess; opposed to her was (Poseidon) Nept,une; on the extreme right is (Hyperion or Helios), the Sun, the heads of the Horses of his chariot appe:tr rising impetnous above the sea; close to him is the figure of Theseus, No. 62; a name accepted in the description of the. ancient marbles in the British MuseulU, iii. 3, though it is there said that" Some authorities of gre,.t weight are nevertheless disposed to considcr it as Hercules. The lion's skin on which he reposes, and his position immediately n.bove some of his labours in the Metopes, warrant this," On the extreme left is tlle chariot Llf Nigllt descending into the westeru ocean, ,the horses' heads visible, one of which, supposed to have been touchcd by the master-stroke of Phidias himself, is No. 41. Ne,xtIn order are these figures, No, 32. According to the authorii.y cited above, an adjustment of them fonns a grou» supposed with gr'eat probability to .represent (Moirai) the Fates, accustomed tu attend upon the oecasion of It birth. They are Clotho, sitting apart, expressive of vigorous youth; Lacbesis, supporting auother of sedale middle age; Atropos, in reposc of the larigour of declinillg life. The winged Victory at their side is balanced by Iris, messenger of the gods, who conyeys intelligence of the birth to (Demeter) Ceres and (Persephone) Proserpine, seated by Theseus on the eonfillcsof Olympus. Conjecture supplies the remaining objects. No. 42 is called Jlissus, the Deified impersonation of the river which ran through the southern plain of Attica. Thi~ figure stood on the extreme right of the westel'll pediment of tI,e, Sttrne temple in which was represented the victory of the goddess over' Neptune in their contest for the sovereignty 9f the soil of Athens. Those who favour the opinion that No, 62 is meant for Hercules, suggests that this figure is, with more probability, that ot 'l'heseus than of the river god, .

This statue, although usually known as that of a gladiator, and ir:vested accordingly with many charming poetical associations, is supposcu -to be that of a hernld. lngetiious conjecturcrs suggcst Polyphontes, herald of-Laius King of Thebes, killed by a;dipus, with his master; or, Copreas, herald of Eur,)'stheus, massacred by the Athenians; or, Anthemo· eritus, an Athenian herald, killed by tbe Megareans (Paus. i. 9). Men who engaged in single combat are mentioned in Athenreus, iv. 41, as known in early times in Greece; but they do not appear to be of the class known in Italy as gladiators,. nrst composed of captives in war, slaves, and condemned malefactors. J{casonsuulduced in support of this view are that the Greeks wore the beard until the age of Alexander the Great, who suggested that his Macedonian soldiers should shave (Athenreus, xiii. 18; Plutarch; Apoph. Bas., 180). This figure is represented beardless. Gladiators did not carry a trumpet nor wear ft cord round the neck, as heralds in tHe Olympic games were used to do. There is, however, mOl'C probability in the suggestion that it represents a Celtic or barbarian soldier or messenger w'caring the Torques, or collar. Gladiators ,,'ere first. exhibited at, Home, A.U.C. 490, B.C. 264. Ctesilaus flourished about 176. years before that time. If this statue be his wor~, it cannot represent a Homan gladiator. . Val.

He was warned by an oracle that one of the lEolidre would kill him. He ordered their destruction. Jason alone escfLped. The oracle again warned Pelias to beware of a man with but onc salHlal. On tbc invitation of Pelias, Jllson atten,ded a sacrifice to Neptune. In crossing the River Amaurus, on the bank of which he lived as husbandman, he lost one of his sandals. Pelias, alarmed, sent him on an expedition to Colehi;',' to bring the golden fleece. He sailed in the ship Argo. His success and nlt,imate return with }fedea, and the death of Pelias, are described differently by the numerous authors who treat 0.£ this qncertain portion of history.

Restorations: fingers of each hand and the portion of the knife between the right hand and the whetstonc. The conjectures respecting this statue are various. By some it is supposed to represent the soothsayer, Accius or Attus Navius, who carried into execution the idea in the mind of King Tarquin, and severed, by command of the King, the whetstone on which he was sharpening his razor.-Livy, i. 36. By others, the slave who overheard the plot into which the two sons of Junius Brutus entered for the restoration of Tarquin. ~ome suggest that it is meant for the slave who over heard the conspiracy of Catiline ; others, for the Scythian slave, commanded by Apollo to flay Marsyas when vanquished by the god in a musical contest. See Hobhouse; notes to 4th canto of Childe Harold. While Lanzi asserts that the man is no other than Licinus, the celebrated barber of Julius Cresar.
