general character of the books enumerated therein, has been published 

 and copies placed in the room for general use. It is expected that it will 

 prove a useful auxiliary to the catalogue. The hope held out in the last 

 Report of finding in the basement of the Library satisfactory accommo- 

 dation for the specifications of patents and files of newspapers, as well as 

 for those who so frequently wish to consult them, has been fully realised, 

 and apartments are now provided that have given rise to expressions of 

 general pleasure and satisfaction.
