Paris an attempt should be made to show practically and
by that strongest of all appeals, an appeal to the senses,
what literature has done, and is doing, towards advancing
the civilization of the English people." The collection of
books was made by the Kev. W. H. Brookfield, while the
collection of periodicals was entrusted to Mr. Charles Alston
Collins. In order that it should be made as complete as
possible Mr. Collins sought the aid of John Francis, to
whom he rendered generous tribute in the Official Report.
