Scientific Library of the Patent Office—
now numbering about 65,000 volumes—is
the best technical library in the United States,
and one high in authority has declared that it has
no superior in the world. Among its reference
collections, it contains a series of English patents
from their beginning In 1617 to date, compris-
ing upward of 5,000 volumes of text and plates ;
a series of French patents numbering about 900
volumes ; 800 volumes of German patents, and
complete sets of the patents of Victoria, Queens-
land, Canada, New Zealand, Italy, Switzerland,
Sweden, Russia, Austria, Norway, Belgium and
Sardinia, each containing less than 100 volumes.
The whole collection records more than half a
million patents, or just about the number that
has been issued in the United States alone.
Since the Philadelphia Centennial of 1876, the
first great exposition in America, the patents
taken out in the United States have far exceeded
in number all that the Government had previ-
ously issued. But the impulse of the exposition
was not immediately felt, being first perceptible
in the number of patent applications in 1880.
We are now, in the opinion of the Commissioner
of Patents and probably of other thoughtful men,
in a season of reflection or of the maturing of
inventive material, and we may confidently ex-
pect soon, as a consequenee of the World's Fair
at Chicago, to enter upon a period of still greater
activity in the field of invention than has hither-
to been known.
