very doubtful whether such a large amount of periodical literature, 
containing the latest intelligence from all parts of the civilized world, and 
including every department of science and literature, can be found in 
any institution north of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. It is 
a great pity that it is not more used and valued. 
Work Accomplished.
