1869. 12mo. Pp. 515.
MR. LEA'S books especially the one now before us demonstrate what we have too willingly suffered to be called in question, the possibility of thorough, exhaustive research and truly erudite author ship on this side of the Atlantic. It is a common belief that here we must at best content ourselves with second-hand authorities, and that the most that we can do is to decant and dilute the choicer vin tages of European scholarship and learning. It is true that no pub lic librar...y in America would furnish materials for an extended or ramified research in any department, and this will continue to be the case until there is a systematic tabulation of books wanted and needed in our libraries, with an organized and prolonged siege of the sources of supply which might be made richly available ; but it is an error to suppose that books, which are rare in Europe are un attainable here. In works not originally costly, but made precious by their antiquity, and needed only for specialties in research, the ag gregate wealth of private libraries in Europe is probably very much greater than that of public libraries ; and in the breaking up and sale of the former there is perpetual opportunity for procuring books that have long since passed away from trade catalogues.
