the pending question now is "where is the
money to come from?" As the Trustees of the Morrison Society have i landing over the volumes stipulated for their being kept separate in name and locality from other book collections which may go to form the general library, it is but natural to expect that they will cons forward and appropriate at least a por- tion of the funds nuder. their control to the purpose in view. The City Hali Committee can hardly be asked not only to give accommodation to books not their own but to incur a heavy outlay before- hand to vender them sufliciently strong to place upon the shelves. More than this, the expense of the cases or shelves will in itself form a heavy item, and in consideration of the fact that there is really no other purpose to which the funds could be usefully employed, it is not unreasonable to suggest that the Morrison trustees devoté it to aiding in fitting up the library; the sum remaining in their hands over and above that required for binding being by the way only just enough to "shelve" the books of their own collection.
That there exists a very strong popu lar feeling in favour of a first class linary being formed is quite certain, and this ought to produes some appre- ciable aid in a public undertaking of au Whether it will do auch importance, so remains to be soen.
