| 520 | _a"Handbook of the New Library of Congress" by Herbert Small is a detailed guide and description of the Library of Congress, written in the late 19th century. The text aims to provide both an engaging account for general readers and a practical guide for visitors, highlighting architectural and artistic details of the new building. Key themes include the history of the Library, its collections, and the significance of its new design. The opening portion of this handbook introduces the Library of Congress, elaborating on its establishment and current role as a national library serving the American populace. It outlines the Library's evolution from a small collection founded with a modest appropriation to a monumental institution, detailing significant events such as its destruction during the War of 1812 and the acquisition of Thomas Jefferson's library. This segment sets the tone for a comprehensive exploration of the Library's architecture, artistic features, and evolving function, making it clear that the Handbook serves as both a historical account and a visitor's guide.
