 Mr. President and Members of the Hamilton Library Association:—

I desire to say, in the first place, that  I esteem it an honor to have been invited to prepare a paper for this occasion. Having listened to some of the papers here presented I fully understood that the preparation of a paper to be read here involved serious labor and that a random talk would not be acceptable.
