wrought The New York Public Library into an organic whole and housed it in this resplendent palace. With these men in mind — and others whom time fails me to mention — who of us shall be content with mere skill in technique, with mere facility of movement among printed things, with mere knowledge of the backs of books? I said I should probably fall into the habit of the preacher. Full well do I remember that professors of homiletics always urge that the sermon close with an "application." Perhaps some of you ” are saying — “I am not to go into reference work. I am to be a cataloguer, or to have charge of a branch library, or to aid in library extension. These warnings are not for me.” But they are for you, and for every one of us librarians, Whatever our peculiar part in library work, we can not escape the inevitable tendency to treat books as the mere vehicle on which we exercise our skill; we can not fail to gain a certain superficial exterior acquaintance with them. The longer we know and live with the backs of books, the more we shall need the tonic which comes from our own special line of research. Ordinarily, specialists grow narrow, but deep; librarians too often grow broad, but shallow. Begin now, therefore, when you are starting in to practice your profession, to cultivate intensively some one field. Hold to it as the years go by. Dig deeply and wisely into the accumulated store of wisdom which the ages have deposited in your little area. And give the world the ripened fruit you have grown. Thus will you give the lie to Mark Pattison's often misapplied dictum: “The librarian who reads is lost.” NEWS OF THE MONTH THE GIFTS HE Library has received, from Sir Adam Block, a copy of his “Special Report on the Ottoman Public Debt,” which is followed by a translation of the annual report of the Council of Administration for the 31st financial period, — March 14, 1912 to March 13, 1913.

A CHECKLIST OF NEWSPAPERS AND OFFICIAL GAZETTES IN THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY COMPILED BY DANIEL C. HASKELL This list has three main divisions: (1) an alphabetical arrangement by cities in which the papers are published; (2) an alphabetical index to the titles or names of the papers; (3) a chronological index showing the years covered by the files here indexed. Under the name of each country in its alphabetical place is found a list of references to the cities of that country represented. References for the British Empire are made from England, Scotland, Ireland, and the various commonwealths and colonies. For the United States references are made from the names of the individual states. Under the individual cities the arrangement of titles is alphabetical, not by the first word, but by the first important word, such words as daily, weekly, morning, evening, and the name of the town, when a part of the title, being disregarded. When the two shelfmarks Reserve and * A are given for a single entry it may be generally assumed that files up to and including 1800 are in Reserve, later files in * A.
