The Library adopted Jefferson’s personal classification of forty- four categories of knowledge and used it for the remainder of the century. Not only did the library that Jefferson sold to Congress include more than twice the number of volumes that had been destroyed, it further expanded the commitment of the fledgling Library of Congress to a broadly based, far beyond the usual scope of a legislative library. Jefferson was a man of encyclopedic interests; his library included works on architecture, the arts, science, literature, and geography. It con- tained books in French, Spanish, German, Latin, Greek, and one three-volume statistical work. Recognizing that the Jefferson collection was a national treasure, the committee on the Library acquired new materials across the subject range to maintain its comprehensiveness. Today’s Library of Congress epitomizes Jefferson’s belief in the power of knowledge to inform citizens and shape democracy.
