1815. Tliej began to write icmtnlseeiices
early in tlosedays. There were, as a mat
tei of fact, not nure than twenty people
in the room at that time, three of whom
were what Anthony Trollop? calls little
old ladies. Two of these were well known
amphibious. Of course it was a good
guess that tt.ey were reading the "Lives of

Col. Spofford li Working every day at the
old Library to get these last mentioned
cl isses into the new building in classified

A brief history of the building may be
read now with interest:
Six years have been consumed in tne
construction or the building, and its cost,
including that ot the site, has been
SG.250,000.
Notvyitiibtunding the rapid accumulation
pf books under the copyright system, it is
calculated that this building will provide
ample io,m for our National Library for
more than a century.

The library building marks an architec
tural departure on the part of the Govern
ment In the matter or attention to the arc
of decoration. The degree of splendor
reached by this building is such that no
other building in America can compare
with It; none elsewhere can ecel it.
All that modern artistic taste ami genius
coul 1 dcid'ilias contributed to produce the
splendid interior. The finest materials
have been nwd In the construction ot the
balldliig. and the best artists that could
be emplod have fashioned the marble
into forms of beauty and adorned the walla
with paintings of rare merit.
The exterior presents a view of white
marble, gray granite, and a dome of gold,
with broad marble steps leading to the
main cntinuce. The stle is almost severe
.and hardly prepares the visitor for the
ornate beautv of the interior.
The chief architectural features of the
building aic the foyer and the public
reading room, although other looms attract
attention and arc rich with palntiugb and
wood and marble carvings.
The grand nairbie stairwavs on either
side of the fover lead to a gallerv The
