Excerpt from Decimal System for the Arrangement and Administration of Libraries

The following remarks on the subject of libraries are not written to present a new theory. They are intended only to be descriptive of a system which the writer has introduced into the Public Library of the City of Boston, with the approbation of his co-laborers in the Board of Trustees, and which has been in practical operation there since the summer of 1852.

The Trustees of the Library, from the establishment of the Board until the present time, having intrusted him with making "all arrangements and regulations needful for circulating the books and using the library," he has had the opportunity of originating from the very commencement the arrangement and working machinery of a large library, which exhibits a fair promise of extending its usefulness in the most liberal manner for the benefit of a great community of readers.
