Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Library of the New York Law Institute Perhaps a vivid recollection of the disappointing and embarrassing deprivation in youth, of access to the privi lege, profit, and learning of a large and comprehensive law library, induced Charles O'conor, in old age, to make his generous and gracious gift to the Law Institute library. At any rate a union of effort and means became necessary to provide the members 'oi the bar with the working tools of the profession, and this mo tive and necessity, more than all else, gave birth to the New York Law Institute. The time was ripe for this movement, as the only collections of law books of any extent or value in or near the City of New York were the private library of Chancellor Kent and the Bed ford House library of chief-justice Jay.
