^{page 201 note 1} In Manchester, where I write this, the ease has much improved since Prof. Mayor wrote (Bibliographical Clue to Latin Literature, 1875); ‘Hear the quiet complaint of a German resident (Journal of Philology, vi. 27): “The bulk of this paper was written in Manchester, where there is no large library.” He was compelled to have recourse to the private library of a friend.’ The Free Library, which is admirable of its kind, now contains the standard English books in almost all departments; the Owens College library, though still weak in periodical literature—e.g. no Philologus, Hermes and Rheinischcs Museum far from complete—has made enormous strides; and finally the ancient and beautiful Ghetham Library, under the scholarly direction of Mr. H. H. Howorth, has not only made a special point of obtaining the great historical collections—Pertz, Migne, &e. —but very rarely refuses to get a book of real importance which is suggested by any serious student. All this however does not amount to a ‘schblar's library’ in Prof. Ramsay's sense, and the student of any special department of antiquity must still buy at least three-fourths of the books he needs, if he lives in Manchester.
