Mean time the library had increased in number of volumes which now amounted to 5, ooo, and then Mr. Bancroft recognized that he had only begun his collection. On his second visit to London, he spent three months in looking over the ground and organizing a thorough system of search, appointing agents, employing intelligent men, and adopting all suitable measures for the promotion of his enterprise. Then Paris was visited, bookstalls and antiquarian warehouses were carefully searched, and catalog...ues examined. Madrid was his next objective point, and there he met with dis appointment. As his collection increased, so did his original ideas on the subject ex pand. He found the history of the Pacific States so interwoven with that of Mexico that it was impossible for him to draw a line of separation, and his first purpose was developed into the aspiration to produce a history of all Northwestern America. Nat urally he expected to find in Madrid much good material relating to Mexico, but he secured comparatively little.
