Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forty-Third Annual Report of the Board of Direction of the Mercantile Library Association of the City of New York: July, 1864
Total number entitled to use of Library and reading-room, May lst, 1864.
It is with pleasure that we are thus able to record a gain of more than ten per cent. In our active member ship during the year just closed, whilst in the year previous there was reported a loss of 478 members.
This gain we believe to be due mainly to the fact that we were able to supply books in some fitting proportion to the demand made for them.
