LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE LIBRARY OF LOUVAIN.
ITO THE EDITOS Or rite " SPECTATOR:1 Sra,—The Executive Committee (appointed early in the year at a large representative meeting, with Viscount Bryce, 0.M., in the chair) for promoting the resuscitation of the Library at the University of Louvain after the war think that steps should now be taken to obtain contri- butions toward that object, either independently or in co-operation with similar Committees in France and elsewhere. The experience of the Rylanda Library at Manchester, whore a very considerable number_ of valuable works have already been collected and arranged, so as to be ready for sending to Louvain when the time comes, shows that thero aro many people able and willing to come forward with books and other help. Tho Committee, therefore, invite communications from sympathizers, and in particular suggest that lists or descriptions of books which they may be willing to give might be sent to the Com- mittee by any persons desirous of aiding the work. Mr. Hugh Butler (Librarian of the House of Lords), acting as Secretary of the Committee, rill be happy to correspond with any one as to the classes of books which are likely to be acceptable at Louvain or as to any other points which may arise. It should be added that some preliminary expenses will have to be met, and that donations not exceeding two guineas would be gladly received and administered by Mr. Butler.—I am, House of Lords, S.W.
Chairman of the Executive Committee.
