THE TORONTO UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. An interesting, albeit a brief, chapter in Imperial history is afforded this year by the movement set on foot in the Mother Country immediately the news arrived of the destruction by fire of the University Library in Toronto. News of the disaster reached London by cable. At once two leading public men in England, well known for the interest they take in Canadian affairs, called public attention to the sad calamity. Mr.

Staveley Hill, Q.C., M.P., wrote to the newspapers offering to take charge of gifts of books or money for purposes of restitution. Sir George Baden-Powell at once made the very practical suggestion of an influential committee "to stimulate and force the sympathy of the Mother Country with this great Canadian University in the sad loss it had sustained." On Feb. 24 he announced in the Times that the committee was in process of formation. Mr. Staveley Hill co-operated, and a committee was formed including the Chancellors and Heads of all the Home Universities, among whom were Lord Salisbury, Lord Carnarvon, Lord Lothian, Lord Rosse, and Lord Granville.

Among others who joined were the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Tennyson, Professor Jowett, Cardinal Manning, Lord Lorne, Lord Dufferin, Duke of Westminster, Duke of Norfolk, Duke of Devonshire, Mr. W. H. Smith, and' others. To have got together such a committee was no mean success in itself, and it is no surprise that with such a beginning offers of books came in a flood.

An executive committee was formed, of which the Marquis of Lorne became the very efficient chairman, Mr. Staveley Hill taking charge of the treasury, and Sir George Baden-Powell putting his usual energy into the office of honorary secretary, while Mr. Allen, the well-known bookseller, gave valuable assistance. The results up to date are gifts of books amounting to something like 15,000 volumes. Her Majesty the Queen heads the list of private donors, on which the Duke of Devonshire appears with a generous gift of 854 valuable volumes.

Lord Tennyson presents a complete set of his own works, while Mr. Browning's executors offer a complete set of the writings of that eminent poet and of his equally eminent wife. The Marquis of Lorne,.
