_Public Libraries_.--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.
