called upon to work out the great problems of life and knowledge. The poorest youth in the land may now confer as freely and familiarly as the wealthiest with all the great and learned who have ever lived in the world.
The donation of Mr. Peabody enables us to place many of the most important scientific and standard works of the day in the library. It was a generous gift, and entitles the giver to the perpetual remem- brance and gratitude of the community.
But the sum within the control of the directors is wholly inadequate for the supply of the popular liter- ature of the day, and the restoration of the volumes worn out by constant using. This amount is entire- ly confined to the income of the Sawyer fund of $5,000. It is to be hoped that at no distant day some of our wealthy citizens may be prompted to lay up treasure here where it will bless their memories and benefit the world. Many might have done this in past years, and only have had a little less to invest in unwise speculations, which in the zeal for impossi- ble gains have absorbed millions, even in this com- munity.
A more liberal expenditure is also needed in the care of and attendance upon the library. As far as a committee of the directors have been able to ascer- tain, all other libraries of the magnitude of our own, allow assistants to their librarians. Our neighbors at Haverhill, whose library contains only four or five thousand volumes more than that of Newburyport, after allowing their librarian a very liberal salary, fur- nish him with six assistants, although one of these has been exclusively employed during the past year in
7
preparing a catalogue, Our librarian has labored
alone for many years with great industry and faithfulness, and his long experience and great familiarity with the books, to some extent les- sens the urgency for a catalogue with the more intelligent class of readers. Notwithstanding all this, however, the chairman of the committee on the li- brary has been surprised almost every month by ap- plications from influential persons to place works in the library which have been for years on the shelves, some of them unused. People, generally, lack either the time or the patience to search the numerous pam- phlet catalogues.
· Undoubtedly a good catalogue would greatly in- crease the number of general readers, and the useful- ness of the library, and it would also add to the labor of delivering, receiving, and taking care of the books. Many valuable books lie uncalled for in consequence of attention not being called to them by catalogue or otherwise. A year or two since a person wishing to consult Neander's Church History, the best impartial and exhaustive history of the church ever written, found to his surprise that, though the work was one of the first placed by the founder of the library, Mr. Little, on the shelves, it had never been used at all. The leaves were uncut and it was an imperfect copy, with hundreds of pages missing, including all that portion of giving the important proceedings of the Council of Nice. Is it likely that among such un- merous seekers of theological knowledge, as are found in this community, so valuable and interest- ing a work of high authority would have been utterly
8 .
neglected all those years, if proper attention had been called to its faithful researches?
But it is especially in the department of popular literature that more expenditure for books and as- sistants is needed. Of the average number of books constantly out, which is about 1500, more than 1200 are works of fiction, biography and descriptive travel. There is need of great care in the selection of books for this department. It is not as some think a useless or unimportant department of the library. Works of this character are sought for not by youthful readers only, but by persons in every rank and condition of life-even among the most gifted and best educated, there is a large demand for them. Besides this it should be borne in mind that works of fiction are the very alphabet of all knowledge, and come next in or- der to nursery tales and rhymes. When pure in thought and style they are ladders by which ascent is made to higher planes of life and action. Well writ- ten novels are only the histories of individuals, fami- lies and neighborhoods, brought out and grouped to- gether in word painting. These lead to higher realms of thoughts. Gradually the intelligent and inquiring mind moves onward from these to the history of na- tions and races; and to all the progressive acquisi- tions of knowledge, until it obtains a wonderful view of the great universe and the immensity of infinite space and infinite time.
But it is of the utmost importance that the ladder of ascent for the intellect should be well placed, and strong enough to bear safely the crowds thronging around it. Hence it follows that the library to be pro- ductive of general improvement should not only be
4
9
carefully selected and copiously supplied, but well superintended, and the attendants should be both able and willing to direct the attention of inquirers to the best books. Youthful readers often require a great deal of the time of a librarian for this purpose.
The taste for reading must first be created, and then if the mind be not of the very lowest order, sad- ly diseased and depraved, it may be gradually elevat- ed. One of the foremost critics and essayists in the country, who has given much attention to the subject, in connection with the great public library of Boston, tells a little story about the effect of putting the scale of reading down to the capacity of the poorest and the youngest. A dirty, ragged, little boy came into the public library of Boston, a few years since, and rsked for a dime novel. The superintendent told him if he would go and wash his face and hands and brush the dirt from his clothes, he would give him the coveted book. The boy soon after returned much improved in appearance, and received a dime novel. The next day he came for another, taking care to ap- pear cleaner than before, and became a regular appli- cant. A few years afterward a young man applied to the superintendent for a certain rare edition of Shakespere which was not in the collection, and on conversing on the subject, he found that the young man knew more about the various editions of Shake- spere than he himself did. It was the boy to whom he had issued the dime novel a few years before, and the last book that the librarian noticed as being taken out by him was Paley's Moral Philosophy.
The extensive newspaper reading of our people renders more necessary the general diffusion of that
10
knowledge which is only gained by a familiarity with the best authors of the ages in which they have lived. Knowing well the influence of the newspaper, partic- ularly upon the most active, industrious and enter- prising classes of society, desperate, financial and po- litical adventurers have in a large measure obtained control over it in order to aid them in their schemes for the acquisition of wealth and power. Every wild and reckless financial schemer, and every clique of political adventurers have subsidized the newspaper press, and by this means have often been able to ac- complish their plans of personal aggrandizement, more or less to the detriment of the common welfare. From this cause the newspaper press has become to a great extent wholly unreliable in its statements, par- ticularly as they bear upon political and business mat- ters, and has caused much mischief in the commun- ity, which would have been counteracted by the diffu- sion of more general reading, giving to the young and active classes of citizens, greater ability to scrut- inize and weigh accurately the value of the evidence placed before them.
Through this subsidizing of the newspaper press, the selfishness of the educated and wealthy classes has often been as pernicious to the well being of society as the ignorance and credulity of the unedu- cated.
But this is not the place to dilate on these matters, and we have only made a brief statement of them in the hope of drawing the attention of the authorities and of the citizens generally, to the subject of increas- ing the means and the usefulness of the Public Li- brary.
