Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue Of The Spanish Library And Of The Portuguese Books: Bequeathed By George Ticknor To The Boston Public Library; Together With The Collection Of Spanish And Portuguese Literature In The General Library
A library, however, that is open to a very great number of persons as freely as the Boston Public Library is open, and as freely as many other libraries will become, perhaps even our col lege libraries, - is a somewhat bold experiment; and, therefore, a considerable time will probably elapse before it will be determined how such an institution can best be constituted, and how it can best be administered. But we may be sure, that, if we are willing to wait, we shall learn all that is really desirable to know on a subject growing se important.
