Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Spanish Library and of the Portuguese Books: Together With the Collection of Spanish and Portuguese Literature in the General Library Meanwhile, it seems impossible that harm of any sort can come from building up, during a moderate number of years, any particular department of the Boston Library, whether it he already strong, or whether it is still deficient. On the contrary, it seems likely to be of good example. For, if the collection of books in the Greek and Latin classics, or that in Astronomy, for instance, should thus attract notice by its completeness or importance, it seems sure that such departments as the German, or the Engineering, or the Chemical, will not be overlooked, while for reasons still more obvious and urgent, the departments in History, in Travels, in Biography, in Mechanics, and in the literatures of the United States, England, and France, will be rendered as complete as the resources of the institution will properly permit, just as they always have been, and, as I trust, they always will be.
