The transfer of the entire hbrary to this country, as usual, whenever any Uterary treas- ures are brought here, eHcited much comment and protest among Enghsh book-lovers. According to the London Standard, Sir Sidney Lee, the well-known Shakespearian scholar, is said to have remarked in a speech: "On the adverse side of any account, which appraised the public interest taken at the moment in Shakespeare in this coimtry, must be set the recent triumphs of American collectors in stripping this coun...try of rare early editions of Shakespeare's plays and poems — editions which had long been regarded among its national heirlooms. The unique first Quarto of "Titus Andronicus," which had lately been discovered in Sweden, was promptly secured at an enormous price by an Ameri- can enthusiast. More lamentable was the sudden flight to the shop of a bookseller in New York of the surpassingly rich library of the late Mr. Locker-Lampson, of Rowfant.
"At one fell swoop the country has been deprived by this transaction of as many as twenty-seven copies of Benefactors of Libraries 49 lifetime editions of Shakespeare's plays, with much else of almost equal rarity and interest.
