All should be preserved, and eventually ar- ranged in better condition. Despite the great cost and considerable practical value of these several manuscript catalogues and indices, in a working library of this character, they obviously are of little use save to the purchaser of the entire Bancroft col- lection, hence would bring small returns at any sale where- at the library were sold piecemeal. I have, therefore, thought it best not even to attempt to appraise them for the present purpose; it ...is sufficient if we consider them merely as desirable makeweights. NUMEEICAL STEENGTH. Mr. Bancroft's own estimate of the size of his Library, fifteen years ago (Ms. Letter to A. R. Spofford, October 21, 1890), was as follows: 17 Printed books and pamphlets 40, 000 Volumes of newspapers 4, 000 Maps, atlases, engravings, etc 2, 000 Original manuscripts 3, 700 Copied manuscripts 300 50, 000 As he collected in a desultory manner for about five years after that date, his printed books and pamphlets now probably number 43, 000.
