the wall。 Let the passage ends be entirely given to 
either window or glass door。 Twenty…four pairs of 
trams run across the room。 On them are placed 56 
bookcases; divided by the passage; reaching to the 
ceiling; each 3 feet broad; 12 inches deep; and separated 
from its neighbors by an interval of 2 inches;
and set on small wheels; pulleys; or rollers; to work
along the trams。 Strong handles on the inner side of
each bookcase to draw it out into the passage。 Each
of these bookcases would hold 500 octavos; and a room
of 28 feet by 10 would receive 25;000 volumes。 A room
of 40 feet by 20 (no great size) would receive 60;000;
It would; of course; be not properly a room; but a
warehouse。
