distant, fired a gun ,to bring us too ; and at
the same time manned one of her cutters arm-
ed With a swivel, and gave chace for three
quarters of an hour, during whieti time they
fired three times. Finding they could not
come up with us, gave up the chace, being

To the Members of the Library
Company of Baltimore.
gentlemen',
It is now eleven years since the ceratnence-
ment of the Library Company of Baltimore ;
in tifs thort period of time, a taste for useful
reading, and polite literature, has evidently
arfead among the young of both sexes A
progression so pleasing in its nature, and be-
n lici. 1 iu its effects, which the institution
has certainly accelerated, cannot fail of secur-
ing to it, a continuance, of protection and pa-
tionage.
A Library, formed with a due respect to
Religion, and morals, which dees nut exclude
works of genius, and amusement, which
contains the must esteemed writings of everv
country, and the best boelts on the'different
arts, and in every branch of science snd lite-
rature to whose ample stores, all persons
may have access ht a tr,fling expence, must
rank amongst the most useful, and laudable
institutions in society
To select a Library, in conformity with
these principles, calls for the Union of diffe-
rent taients, aad.vr.rious information. It must
howevei be recollected, that although with a
limited annual sum, all valuable bo"l;s cannot
tit once, be introduced, yet, that in time and
successively, all of the greatest value., or im-
portance, which can be procured, may find
admission.
With such prospects, the Library company
of Baltimore, was instituted, and under the
influence of corresponding principles, i' has
been uniformly and steadily conducted down
to the present hour. Believing it to be th«
wish of the members, to continue to society
the advantages of tin institution, will it not
b« considered indispensable i
1. That the directors should not be obliged
to apply any part of tlie mo nes now ainua.ly
expended in the purchase of Books to any
other object?
2. That the means be provided competent
to procure a lot of ground, in a suitable situ-
ation on which may be erected, when it shall
become necessary, a commodious building,
for 1*ie deposit of the Books of the Compani I
With respect to tlie first, Tile Directors
would lament the occurrence of any circum-
stance, that should abridge the annual supply
of Books, or the increase of the Library, up-
on this point, they fell atsured they concur
in opinion with the great body of Stockhol-
ders. ¦
. With rtspeetfothe second point, they also
%'5-oj-: *to#j6jy<$ wj$ a c^a-ence,. for,
althoogh fixed in their determination tcrc{=it
the room now possessed hy the company*, o»
long(if permitted by it* proprietors) as it wi8
serve to contain their ho<;!;s, yet, as the lima
must come when it will b inadequate, to that
purpose, the directors consider it prudent and
advisable, th.t the company should be pro-, id-
ed against such an event.
A;L"f of Ground in a suitable situation,
in ay he now had on reasonable terms. Should
«.he purchase r.e deferred, who will insure U»
the company, that we shall he able to get a
suitable lot hereafter J "f he probability ig if
We neglect to buy now, that we either cannot
be accommodated at market when we cannot
longer do wifhout a hit, or must pay, to* a
convenient situation, an extravagant p'ice.
Acting under these Considerations, the di<-
rectors recently proposed tu the company an
additional eontiinution at tivo dulhus jwi e
nam, to he paid on each sha're, for H sticeeasri ;
years. This proposed contribution, so
and equal in its operatien, wh-Cft t^
me«iher would h ve amounted to :
dollars only, was unr.nimuii.«!y a ¦
at a meeting of the company, conveni ,
S6lh May last, but at a substiq; el t
(the concurrence of two being :vq die.! tor its
confirmation) from some memo "is misconceiv.
ing jtha otject of the measure, Sl .he necessity
of making the purchase, *it tins Iim,, n„t being
felt, or but slightly fe.i hj- others, it wis re-
jected byu majority of the >ew who aitt.nrlei
on that occasion.
The necessity of adopting the measure, still
pressing upon the directors with undiminished
force, they conceive it to he their duty, to call
the attention of the company again to th, Sub-
ject, ni".re especially as they cannot petmitj
theniscivost to entertain a doubt that areyi'siqji
by men, IrieT d'y to the ^icb'i'.sion oi the artsiand.
