This year (1887) the display of literary objects in the southernmost of the Pioneer lodges in the park consists of what is styled " A Log-shanty Hook- shelf." An early immigrant, evidently of l)o()kish pr<»pensities, has gathered on th'j shelf of his cabin an array of volumes very various in sliape and si/e, and for the most part faded and otherwise homely-looking, although l)ruHhed up a little for the present occasion, and furnished, where necessary, will) written la))els of subjects and authors' names on their backs. 'I'le aim of tlie collector appears to have been, primarily, self-improvement, or tiie . liiiiily of instructive material for the use of the younger mend)ers of a family. Some interest seems to have been taken in public affairs, contemporaneous or recent, and provision, it may be, was made for mental recreation at leisure hours, or amusement during the long evenings of winter. The nucleus of the motley asseml)lage consisted perhaps of certain ililapi- dated survivals of the infantile and school-boy period, hastily gatluM-ed up and thrust away into the great sea-cheat just at the moment of (piitting forever the oM home in the Fatherland. Occasional ailditions may have been suhse- fpiently made during visits, few aiul far lietween, to the haunts of men out.-side the lonely clearing, although at the period when the collector appears to have flourished, namely, in the early part of the century, supjdies of reading nuitter were by no means plentiful, even in <]uarters that W(^re then deemed p(tpulous. Even in the cities and towns of the old ccnintry literature for popular use was at the time poor and unedifying, ut still rustic.) A glance at the collection may help tlie modern Immigrant, who may chance to he a man of intellectual tendencies and tastes, to form a judgment as to the advance made in our community in regard to educational and other literary appliances during the last lifty years. 1.
