And there isno gallery. In the manner I have described, there may be placed on the floor of such aroom, without converting it from a room intoa warehouse, bookcases capable of receiving, in round numbers, 20, 000 volumes. The state of the case, however, consideredas a whole, and especially with reference tolibraries exceeding say 20, 000 or 30, 000 volumes, and gathering rapid accretions, hasbeen found to require in extreme cases, suchas those of the British Museum and theBodleian (on its limit...ed site), a change morerevolutionary in its departure from, almostreversal of, the ancient methods, than whathas been here described. The best description I can give of its essential aim, so far as I have seen the processes (which were tentative and initial), isthis. The masses represented by filled bookcases are set one in front of another; and, in order that access may be had as it isrequired, they are set upon trams inserted inthe floor (which must be a strong one), andwheeled off and on as occasion requires.
