It is my observation that with classes four or five times as large 22 as they were in my day at Harvard, the number of young men among the students laying the foundation of their own collection of books is fewer now than then. It is notorious that to-day in England the collecting of books by the educated and leisured classes has gone by. If a man is found forming a library, he is a banker or a brewer come to the financial front who thinks it a passport to social distinc- tion. Earl Spencer told... me a few years ago that he never added a book to the famous library then at Althorpe, and as I looked it through, I could well believe there had not a book been put in it for a half century. I have looked at some of the best libraries in English country houses, and I have found but one or two, notably that of the Duke of Westminster, which indicated that the best current literature as distinct from bibliographical fads, was contributing to their growth. The average English gentleman, with the training of Oxford and Cambridge, is content to depend on a weekly box from Mudie.
