The town Is most ploturerque. I have ever

upper and lower towns. French In spoken ii one,
and German in the other part. Two WIT* bridges,
of extraordinary length and lightness, Eon the

on one aide, which makes the bridge look as though
it were supported entirely from one end. Walls

THE PHILADELPHIA LIDHARY

of a hiredroork in Mr. Cliaoe's house. They did
not louder se many books as they eXpedtod, and
the plan not ernriting perfeotly well was given up
after a year's trial. - The - subsoription• library,
had many' advantsgetti rAmong others that of

you jultice, by placating those assumed feathers
and restoring them to their right owner."
'Franklin drew up a rough draft of the scheme
and had them put into form byhis friend °has.
Brooltdon. gaoh subsorther (they had at first but
fifty) agreed to pay down forty Shillings, and ten
Stallings annually thereafter. The articles of as
lodlatlan *ete to he binding on theisiselves and
'their - beirs for fifty years. Franklin at least
lived beyond the expiration of that time, but in
the meanwhile the articles had been supplanted
by a regtilar Shatter. The first entry in the mi
nt:atilt atill'•preserved brunt data November Bth, •
1731, when the directors were oalled together by
Joe. Breintnall, the steretary, " to take bond of the
treasurer for the faithful performance oriels trust,
and• to consider of and appoint a proper time for
the payment of the money subscribed, and other
matters relating to the said library." There was
trouble then, as now, in collecting dues, and by
the '2oth of Marsh, 1732, only a little more than
halt had been obtained. At a Toting held "at this
Thomaa dodfrey informed the dirbotore that
James,Logan bad heard of their plan, and Awed -
his services in the selection, of books; an offer
which wee -very acceptable, since Mr. Logan was
then thought to be " a gentleman of universal

firat importation of hooks waa received in October
Or. *at year, and were placed in Robsrt Grace's
obeidber, in :fonets's (often drilled, in,plct timed,
Pewter Platter) alley, which leads from Front to M
ooed street, just above Market. The first donor to
the library was Peter Collinson, of London, who was
an aottvo and firm friend for many years ; the
earliest in this country, William Rawl°, of this
City; who ptellented, March 16th, no, " siz "vo.
lames or, books of , the works of hie. Edmaild
Siemer," In reisordlog which present the secre
tary adds the ematingo superfluous information
that " the famous old English poem &Mid open
ear's Fairy paean is included in these works."
Franklin shortly after this filled the office of
librarian for three Months spd p day., In 1738
the company received frOm lir. Waiter Hydserpe,
of Antigua, a present of nearly 3£60. In the letter
which accompanied the gift, ho expressed the
hope that others might ba incited by it to "lend
a helping hand to promote so great a good by
which your infant oolonivrill,in a Sew a ( , es be
ranked the first in the faAndar Or all the Attierl
can settlements." In 1740, the Assembly granted
the library the use of the second story of the west
wing of the State House. In 1763, it is mentioned
in an address to John Penn, that "many ether
libraries after our example and on our plan have
been erected in this and neighboring proCinces,
Whereby Useful knowledge has been more gener
ally diffused in these remote terriers of the earth.“
Franklin, in his autobiography, States to the
same effect, that " thesi iihrafien have idlprove,d
the general conversation of the Amerioarls, madd
the mutimon tradesmen and farmers as intelligent
ds most gentledlen lima other cone k tries, and perhaps
have contributed in mine degree to the stand 11 ,
generally rondo tbidughout the colonies in defeats's
oftheirprivilegee " Francis Hopkinson, celebrated
afterworde as a signer of the Declaration, and a
witty bat powerful writer in the cause of liberty,
was librarian from 1705 to 1770. In 1769, the
Union Library Company, whom charter was con;
finned by Gov Dewey, in 1759; proposed to unite
4lth the Philmielphia .Libritry., The- oonneetion
formed was of very oonsideraide adatitage; thoug h
the value of the books derived from the Union
Company is not known. The library building of
that company was at the corner of Third and Pear
streets, 'which was transferred to the Philadelphia
Library Company, and its rent was quite an addi
tion to the yearly Inmate. Nearly 260 new mem
hers were added to the Philadelphia, former share
holdere in the other company. About the same
time, the Amicable and Assoolation Library compa
nies joined their fortunes with their now revered
ardor. They were comparatively finial' aitaird
and little is known about them. In 1773, the
library wet moved to Carpenter Eall, still stand-
log at the head of Carpenter's court, attestant
street, between Third and Nardi streets. The
lower part of this edifice being taken, the sue
'seeding year, by the First Continental Congress,
it was ordered " that the librarian furnish the
gentlemen who aro to meet In Congress, in this
oly, with such books as they may have occasion
for daring their sitting, taking a receipt for thorn."
The public spirit of the directors aid tioihpany
continted this privilege to Congressmen until the
seat of Government was removed to Washington.
It bad been intended. to remove the beaks,
from the citY, when the prtlspect of a liritteh oe•
(lunation becaine imminent daring the flevolrition
but the stockholders had so mulch else to think of
then that no quorum of them could be brought
together to consider it, and, therefore, the plan
was not carried out. The library was unmolested,
however, and the British officials, who made good
use of it, loft deposits and paid hire, as if in time
of peace. When the war was concluded, there
was quite ftn aoottmulation of duos, Jo. There
were then few books published in dtherloti, and
importation from Europe was, of &Mrs°, out of
the question during , the war. Quite an addition
was made then; all at once, to the number of
books. We should not forget to observe that, in
1777,' Wm. Logan, Erq ; made quite a large be•
quest of works of ancient authors—the most vale-'
able gift which, up to that timo, had been re
ceived. '
James Logan, whom wo have had occasion be.
fore to mention, instituted a library for the free

'fadt that many of the noblest views . and most 114
toresting features are stretched along the towering
heights of the river, southward from this point,
enough in themselves to consume the time ordina

vault is on the banks of the flier, though between
the higher land and the water, near a _road
planned by the president, and eiecuted2 , with skill,
and at a large outlay. This road forms a " drivel
round the entire place, and equals in beauty any
sows to be found in the charming rural sur
roundings of our great metropolis. Solid rocks,
ninety feet in height, were quarried to make this
admirable road, and the stones form a wall, or

way so lettered. Much as : Nature has lavished:
upon the scenery which everywhere meets the
eye in-pursuing this route, the observant vi-:
'alter will not fall to perceive the effects of
many judicious .artidoial embellishmente. Hera
the route is shaded .by noble trees,
.and theta,

emerge upon the MC View of the river Schuylkill
—the little stetimere,'lAdelielth

with noble speolment of native forest trees. No
some was ever attempted to be transferred to cam
vela more perfect in its softness and repose, and
mote entirely pleasing, to the imagination, than
this.
The walk upward from Comaiodere Conner's
vault is superlatively beautiful. It brings us to
the highest point of rook, before ?whin which,
however, we pass another, overlooking the whole
river scene, just pttrohased by the personal friends
of the late Judge Robert T. (Conrad; ad the site of
a noble monument to his memory, whioh is now be
ing !nada bk Mr. William Struthers.
A short distande from oar Point of starting, about
midway up the western elope, Mr. removed. from
any other grave, is a novel but appropriate Memo
rial, erected po the memory of Charles Brookden
Brown, who by thany of Mir °Wiens will be re
called as the leading Amefloan novelist of his age
He was born in Philadelphia in 1771, died in 1810,
and, as all who ever read Lippard'e thrilling sketoh
of the "Heart-Broken," which, some ten years
ago, drat appeared la the "Nineteenth Cen
tury," was enioilitied In a CRY burying-ground.
Mr. Brown commenced the Addy of the law at
about fifteen years of age, but subsequently phi&
doned it for the life of an author, for which be was
fitted by a high order of talents. In the ironical
language of his generous-hearted, but errat'o bio
grapher, he " abandoned the brilliant prospects of
the liar to beanie a miser able pannier, a Earth
bier, a fellow Who spills ink for bread ! and that
dt a time When the cow vEith seven horns, or the
calf with trio limas and five legs, exhibited In
some mountebank ' s 8116*, ifCd not half so rare
curiosity ea an American Author !" As h novel
jet his produotions had a loftier aim than attaches
to works of hot& generally; thengfi It is true
they bad a wider reputation abroad than 4E home.
Many of them were republished in inglad, and
elicited the praise of snob men as Bulwer and God
win, and the editors of lending Reviews. He died
of consumption at thirty-ult.:o jenra of age. In
..his boyhood Charted Brookden Brown tia4 en ar
dent admirer of Laurel.lllll, and spent many hours
arhauri its beautiful sooney. In the sketoh al
ready referred to, 'eokge Lippard Urged that the
bones of this too-long negleoted author eftoeld be
borne from the Oily grave-yard to the cemetery
where they now repose. A rough, odd-shaped up
,right marble slab marks his grave, and on ase
Partite tablet it inscribed the author's name ,and
age. By many this spot will lie ilsit6d With• ab
sorbing interest. By the way, now that the par
.sionate admirer of Brooktion Brown has also long
sine's vanished from the mane, why should not his
'readers, pnblishere and friends, erect some suitable
tribute to the memory of
At no great distance southward froth this Point
is a tall, pure white marble obelisk, erected to the
Merited , of Alexander Henry, a man who was
greatly esteemed by a large circle of friends, no,
in the language of his epitaph, a " tride Connell'
ler, a true philanthropist, and a devoted Chris
'tian." Our passent Mayor is the grandson of this
gentleman. While standing near this monument,
it was the writer's privilege to witness a scene, be
dide all 'Materiel tributes however hearth=
ful, that are reared by the timi d of wealth, gtiow
eold and meaningless. As I oast my eye in the
direction of the river, ± marked the approach of a
graecrtil female form, clad - in ball-mourning
apparel, until silently alto ittiod betide an en
closure, bonding toward a mennd within it. A
Ontario, with* in reality I felt myself censured
fei having given, told me she was young and beau
tiful. For some moments she lingered, her agi
tated frame telling bow intent her soul wan fixed
Upon a something, which the associations of the
earth upon whioh she looked served moot keenly
to awaken. No other person was in sight.
epeated attempts were made by this lonely
worshipper at the shrine of her beloved dead , to
moire away; but again and again she returned.
There was to me a eaaredneas in this exhibition of
a woman's love, the very sight of which rebuked
the as an intruder, and so with cautious stops I
moved away, feeling that the assurance of such a
tribute to my memory, when lam gathered to
the ashes of my forefathers in a distant country
ohuroh-yard, would be the monument .whioh, of
all others, I should most desire. Returning to the
hit when she had gone, I found within it three
unmarked, full-length graves, one of which had
been newly made.
Directly between the Henry monument and the'
river, in one of the most beautiful locations in the
demetery, Is the large and neatly designed lot of
&respeoted citizen and eminent - merchant of 'this
olty, Morris L. Hallowell, immediately beyond
whioh, near the river front, is the massive marble
vault of Mr. lames One. In close proximity to
this is a lofty and chastely exeonted monument to
another well-known and highly-esteemed Phila
delphia lawyer and legislator, Charles Bingham
Penrose, who died, and was here Warred in
April, 1857.
