...forty-two by forty-three feet and has six floors; the book-capacity is a good deal smaller than that of the west stack-it is one hundred and fifty thousand volumes-owing to encroachments by the reading room.

The engraving is especially noteworthy. Around the top of the cup is a wreath of laurel leaves twined together in an artistic manner. Beneath this is a plain band, on which...
