THE NATIONAL LIBRARY FOR THE BLIND.
[To rue EDITOR or rue " SPECTATOR."] SI2,—A letter signed by Mr. John Bethell re Miss Strickland's Library of Music for the Blind which appeared in your issue of January 20th bears, I am sure quite inadvertently, a somewhat misleading implication. There already exists, and has existed for about fifteen years, a valuable library of music in the National Library for the Blind, 18 Tufton Street, Westminster. This section includes over five thousand pieces, besides many books on the theory of music, and special pieces required by readers are Produced on request. The Music Library, together with the whole of the collection of literature numbering some twenty-seven thousand volumes, has lately been made free to all blind readers in the United Kingdom.—I am, Sir, &c., E. W. AUSTIN. 18 Talton Street, Westminster, S.W.
