PUBLIC CIRCULATING LIBRARY.
L
HAVING long felt the need of a PUBLIC CIRCULATING LIBRARY in Hongkong,
I have determined, should a sufficient number Volunteer to Subscribe to it, to form a Library on the same basis as Circulating Libraries are formed in England, and from my Experience in such matters in England, I feel certain that I can forma and conduct a Library satisfactorily to all. My Experience in the East Teaches me that the principai demand would be for LIGHT LITERATURE, and the Ordinary. 3-Volume English Novels would therefore preponderate, at the same time Works of any interest on Science, Biography and Travel would find their place on the Library Shelves.
