Prirate Library.-There is one private F. brary in this country, exclusively American, which we would give splendid Illinois farm to possess. It consists, as we are told, otup- wards of seventy large quarto volumes, and all by the same author. That author came into public life before he was of lawful age, and has been in public life, with few inter- missions, ever since. He has travelled in many countries. and speaks many languages. He has held high stations abroad, and the most exalted at home. He hassforned ac- ouaintance with the most illustrious scholars and statesmen of Europe, the last halt cen- tury-and with allthe affairs and men of his own country, m this knowledge he is most familiar. From the moment of his first en- trance into public life, until the present time. he has kept record of the events of each day of his life; and the whole of his life, ana times' now extends, as above mentioned. 10 more than seventy huge quarto volumes. Need we name the author! None can mis- take the man. The able, the fearless, the el- oquent. the dauntless, JOHN QUINCY AD- ANS. No other American would have per- formed such labor-no one else could have, done 1t as he has done. What an inheri. tance will that work be for the future histori. an, the politician, the antiquarian! We should like much to look into it-even now. What a mass of manuscript for a single hand. ana what variety of matter! Political and philosophical-historical and biographical. literature and diplomacy-travelling diaries ana ca0inet colloquies-lectures upon rheto. TIC, and treatises on weights and measures-. ballads, lyrics. and anti-masonrv What compound And alas how many poor fei- lows. dead and living, would find themselves metaphorically fGyed could. they but run over some of the pages of the seventy vok pmes !-N.
