Opis

Excerpt from Murray's Magazine, Vol. 6: A Home and Colonial Periodical for the General Reader; July-December, 1889 I hardly know whether to lament or rejoice over the enormous dispersion of old Libraries which has taken place during the last few years. On the one hand, the natural conservatism of the English mind compels regret that the books which have cost so much time and trouble in the collection, and have doubtless afforded such intense interest to the collector, should be sent forth (to borrow the touching words of Lord Crawford in his Preface to the sale of the second portion of his Library) to battle for new homes and hearths. On the other hand, it is well to remember that the accumulation of valuable books in the hands of individual owners for a great length of time is so much knowledge kept from the world at large, and that the dissemination of that knowledge through a hundred different channels can hardly fail to be more or less generally useful, and to stimulate literary research and enquiry which the want of fresh supplies would discourage and diminish. From this point of View, I cannot Share in the regret which I sometimes hear expressed, that so many of our good books find their way to America. On the contrary, I think it is a subject for great satisfaction that our American cousins should delight in acquiring English books, and should Show their appreciation of our literature by the practical method of paying highly for good and old editions of English works. It is a proof that they value the tie of blood and kindred which exists between themselves and us, that they consider themselves to have a claim to a share of the pride which we feel in our great authors, and desire to possess and preserve memorials of the old country to which no other nation has so good a right.
