 The Committee on the Library, to whom the subject of 
 the donations received from the City of Paris was re- 
 ferred, ask leave to submit the following 
 
 EEPOET. 
 
 In the year 1843, the City Authorities received from 
 the Municipal Government of Paris, through the hands 
 of Mr. Alexandre Vattemare about fifty volumes of 
 valuable books, and, in 1847, a further donation arriv- 
 ed, consisting of rare and useful works relating to in- 
 ternal police, general and local statistics and history, 
 illustrated with engravings, and making a collection of 
 nearly one hundred volumes. 
 
 These noble gifts were, at the time, properly ac- 
 knowledged by appropriate votes, passed in the City 
 Council, which the Mayor was instructed to notice and 
 forward in a manner suited to the dignity of the City 
 he represented. But the government were desirous 
 of responding to the generous munificence evinced by 
 their transatlantic friends, in a manner more worthy of 
 the high character and public spirit which Boston has 
 ever manifested upon occasions of a similar character, 
 and a few months since appointed your Committee to 
 attend to this duty. 
 
 A sum of money might have been voted by the City 
 Council, to reciprocate these presents ; but the Commit- 
 tee thought, that were their returns to be the voluntary 
 and individual contributions of the citizens of Boston, 
 these tokens of good will, would be more acceptable to 
 the citizens of Paris, and would better harmonize with 
 
4 BOOKS SENT TO PAEIS. [Sept. 
 
 the system of Literary Exchanges. They therefore so- 
 licited donations of books and engravings, from authors, 
 publishers, artists, and public institutions, to be forward- 
 ed through the hands of the Mayor, to the metropolis 
 of France, as a token of our fraternal feelings, and an 
 evidence that our citizens had duly appreciated the 
 liberal contributions received in former years. 
 
 It is with great pleasure they report, that without an 
 exception, our fellow citizens from whom books and 
 prints were requested, have made large and liberal gifts, 
 and the Committee with pride and gratification, refer 
 to the annexed list of books, amounting to more than 
 one thousand volumes, with the names of the donors, as 
 the best comment they can make upon this new subject 
 of public interest. 
 
 These Books possess a value to your Committee, 
 far beyond the immediate object for which they have 
 been collected. They are a noble response from the 
 community in favor of a Free City Library, an object 
 which has engaged the attention of many of our best citi- 
 zens. The rare and valuable works received from Paris, 
 are the nucleus around which, we earnestly hope, a new 
 and popular institution will speedily arise, which shall 
 open its doors to the public. Should the system of litera- 
 ry exchanges be continued between nations and states, 
 we may anticipate further donations of books, with 
 which to enrich our City library. Many of the donors 
 indulged the hope, that their contributions might lead 
 to that result, and expressed a readiness to contribute 
 towards the establishment of such an institution. 
 
 Your Committee cannot close their report, without 
 saying a few words in favor of Mr. Vattemare, the saga- 
 cious, zealous, and philanthropic individual whose mind 
 conceived the vast benefits which would result to man-

 kind from au interchange of books, and works of art 
 among Christian and civilized nations. This gentleman 
 has brought the subject before the nations of Europe, 
 and has also enlisted the cooperation of most of the 
 states of this Union. 
 
 By his ardor, intelligence, urbanity, and untiring 
 devotion, he has triumphed over every obstacle which 
 threatened to obstruct his progress; and now enjoys 
 the rare felicity of beholding the object so near his 
 heart in the " full tide of successful experiment," receiv- 
 ing alike the countenance and support of kingdoms and 
 republics, and bringing the nations of the world into a 
 fraternity where mind bears sway — where the bond 
 of union is sympathy of. feeling for the noble inspira- 
 tions of genius and the imperishable monuments of the 
 master minds of our race. 
 
 As Americans, we sincerely rejoice at these new 
 proofs of amity and good will, between our native coun- 
 try and its ancient ally, and we hope for a continua- 
 tion of the exchange of the productions of those who 
 are laboring in the « Eepublic of Letters," on both 
 sides of the Atlantic.

 To his Honor the Mayor, and Board of Aldermen, and

 Gentlemen : 
 
 I have the honor of presenting you herewith in the 
 name of the Minister of Public Instruction of France, 
 the Nos. 19 and 20 of the Monumental Statistics of 
 Paris, being the continuation of that important publi- 
 cation, the first numbers of which I had the gratifica- 
 tion of presenting to the Mayor 'and Council of this City 
 in 1847. 
 
 I beg leave at the same time to enclose, the List of 
 Books relative to Municipal Administration, Public 
 Improvements, Police, Common Schools, &c., which I 
 had the pleasure of presenting your Honorable Body, in 
 the name of the Prefect and Municipal Council of the 
 City of Paris, as tokens of the esteem and fraternal feel- 
 ings of that metropolis, towards her young and beauti- 
 ful sister, the City of Boston, with the hope to see such 
 enlightened and most useful intercourse established on 
 a lasting basis, between these two great cities. 
 
 The City of Paris from her age, her wealth, her busi- 
 ness, her position as the Metropolis of France, with her 
 numerous public institutions, her learned men, her con- 
 stant devotion to the health, the peace, the well being 
 of her immense population, believes that she has ac- 
 quired information and experience that may be useful 
 to you, and to others. The results of this information 
 and experience in all its various branches, she desires to 
 communicate to you.

 She only wishes in return, that Boston do her the 
 favor to receive these, her tokens of respect, and be 
 stimulated to favor her in return, vpith such works of 
 public value in the way of Regulations, Ordinances, 
 System of Public Improvements, Reports of Depart- 
 ments, &c., as the great extent and population of your 
 wisely ordered and well regulated City, may from time 
 to time give rise to. The cities of Boston and Paris 
 are now connected by so many ties, not only of ancient 
 friendship, but of constantly increasing social and busi- 
 ness relations, that I am most happy in being in the 
 present instance, the honored instrument of that mu- 
 tual exchange of public acts of courtesy and beneficence 
 by which France hopes to be able to cement more 
 strongly, the kind and happy relationship, which has 
 ever existed between her and the United States of 
 America. 
 
 I have the honor to be,

 Alexandre Vattemare, Esq. 
 
 Sir: — I offer, through you, to the City of Paris, 
 the grateful acknowledgments of the City of Boston, for 
 the generous presentation of an extensive and. valuable 
 collection of literary and scientific works. They are 
 treasured not only as the gift of an illustrious people, 
 but as the basis and no insignificant portion of a free 
 municipal library, which we are taking active measures 
 to establish. In return for the munificent kindness of 
 your metropolis, I have the satisfaction of transmitting, 
 through your agency, donations of books exceeding a 
 thousand volumes, contributed for the purpose by citi- 
 zens of Boston. Concerning these, your attention is re- 
 spectfully solicited to the accompanying report and 
 documents. 
 
 The reciprocation of substantial courtesy which we 
 thus offer to Paris, will, I trust, be received as a token 
 of the friendly regard of the people of Boston towards 
 the descendants of the ancient and effectual allies of 
 our country. I hope, also, that it will be regarded as a 
 testimonial of our cordial approbation of the system of 
 international exchange, which owes its establishment to 
 your intelligent, self-sacrificing and indefatigable exer- 
 tions. As the system is promotive not only of the 
 cause of intellectual progress, but of a still nobler ob- 
 ject — the cultivation of a spirit of mutual good will

 your letter accompanying the report of the Committee, 
 assures me, that they are heartfelt, and I feel proud 
 when I look on the donation of such a library of books, 
 and think they are the freewill offerings of the Citizens 
 of Boston. It is eight years, since I first came here 
 among the hospitable residents of this place, and when 
 I look back, I find my memory brings up in quick suc- 
 cession the many, many favors which I have received 
 from their hands. 
 
 To you, Sir, who have ever been a friend to the 
 object which I have in view, my warmest thanks are 
 due for your assistance and counsel. To the Governor 
 of your State, and the Legislature, for their kind coop- 
 eration ; to the City Authorities, and to those private 
 citizens, who have contributed towards the formation 
 of this Library, a donation which will be richly appre- 
 ciated, I can offer but my poor thanks ; but believe me 
 Sir, it will be a monument reared in another land, 
 which will reflect the greatest lustre upon the American 
 People. I would also, at this time, express my indebt- 
 edness to the members of the Press, who have given 
 their valuable aid in this undertaking ; and I trust that 
 they and all others will not be weary in well doing. 
 
 I feel, Sir, that I have incurred a heavy debt ; but 
 I look back, and my endorsers rise up by millions. 
 
72 LETTER OF MR. VATTEMAEE. [Sept. 
 
 They are there in Paris, and it is to them that I shall 
 say, on my return to my native country, " Look here, 
 these are the pledges of friendship from Boston." If 
 they ask who gave them 1 it will be a source of pleasure 
 for me to know they were not obtained by traffic, but 
 are the unbought assurances of good will. The old 
 and th« young, the noble-hearted of both sexes have 
 opened their coffers, and given abundantly. Let me 
 hope that all may persevere, that what has now been 
 so auspiciously commenced, may lead to the formation 
 of a Public Library in this City, which shall increase 
 as year after year rolls on, and continue long after the 
 present generation shall have passed away. 
 
 In conclusion, allow me to reiterate my heartfelt 
 thanks, and believe me ever, 
 
 Mr. Mayor, your humble and devoted servant, 
 
 ALEXANDRE VATTEMARE.
