_St. Paul's School Library_ (Vol. viii., p. 641.).--A catalogue of the
library was privately printed in 1836, 8vo. It is nominally under the care
of the captain of the school, who, having his own duties to attend to,
cannot be expected to pay much attention to it: this readily accounts for
the disorder said to prevail.
It is believed to contain the copy of _Vegetius de re militari_, the
perusal of which by Marlborough, when a pupil at the school, imbued him
with that love for military science he in after-life so successfully
cultivated.
It would be a good deed on the part of the wealthy company, the trustees of
Colet's noble foundation, to enlarge the library and pay a salary to a
librarian; it might thus become a useful appendage to the school, and under
certain regulations be made accessible to the vicinity.
