Fortune Spent On Treasures.

The modernity of science and a deep love for the master dramatist have combined to seal the riches of Shakespeare in a haven virtually immune to any element of destruc- tion.

The bard of Avoti, ketilus thas! he was, would find it a task to keep house for his treasured works and relics as neatly and safely as the Folger Library is doing it for him,

In a striking new building a few streets east of the Capital stand row upon row of books and manu- scripts.

The library, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clay Folger, Is memorial to their love for Shake-: speare. Years and a fortune were spent in assembling its treasures. As a library it contains upwards of) 75,000 volumes and several thou- sands of M.S.5. bearing on the bard and his contemporaries.

The extent of the rare Shake. speariana may be indicated by the fact that of the precious first folio.] of which fewer than 200 copies are known to be in existence, it possenses 79, not to mention com- plete extracts of individual plays which, if assembled, would probably: constitute two additional coples.

The library contains more than 700 oil paintings (including can- vases by Lawrence, Reynolds, Binke, West Sully and Romney) and many thousands of water colours, etch-
