The library at Althorp occupies a suite of apartments on

the ge eund- floor, of which the entire length, from the extremity of the first apart- ment, called the Long Library, to that of the fifth, or last apartment, called the Gothic Library, cannot be less than 220 feet. These rooms are filled to the very ceiling, and contain not fewer than 60,000 volumes, now that the books have been removed thither from the mansion in St. James's Place. They must have cost Lord Spencer considerably more than 200,000/. His Lordship does not even men- tion his library in his last will; but the present Earl is determined to preserve it entire.
