Florence ; but all the great libraries in the world were nevertheless nearly as well known to him as his own. "One day, " says Mr. Spence, " the Grand Duke sent for him, after he was his librarian, to ask him whether he could get for him a book which was particularly scarce. ' No, Sir, ' answered Magliabecchi, * it is impossible, for there is but one in the world ; that is in the Grand Seignor's library at Constantinople, 239 and is the seventh book on the second shelf, on the right hand as you... go in. ' " This is not to be taken as a proof of the extraordinary memory of Magliabecchi ; for, the book in question being a remarkable one, it is not at all wonderful that the circumstance, which, in point of fact, princi- pally made it so, should have been distinctly remembered by him : but the familiar style in which he alludes to the localities of the Sultan's library speaking of it in the easy, off-hand manner of a person in the habit of being there every day of his life shows the hold that every- thing about it had taken of his fancy, and how entirely books were his world.
