MISCELLANIES1850
Public Libraries
By W. C. T. (Edinburgh)
In looking through the Parliamentary Report on Libraries, I missed, though they may have escaped my notice, any mention of a valuable one in *Newcastle-on-Tyne*, "Dr. Thomlinson's;" for which a handsome building was erected early last century, near St. Nicholas Church, and a Catalogue of its contents has been published. I saw also, some years ago, a library attached to *Wimborne Minster*, which appeared to contained some curious books. The Garrison Library at *Gibraltar* is, I believe, one of the most valuable English libraries on the continent of Europe.
