I Charleston, May 1837 Sir:?Tho Managers of ho Charleston Bi ce Society, have appointed the undersized, a cc mittee to prepare and send forth a Circular, in tirg the several Bible Societies in the State a- unite With them by their delegates, in a Convi 11. tion, to be held at Columbia, on Tuesday the ; December 1837.' >' Tiio-objects to be secured by such a Convt tion. are to ascertain what has been done in tl State for the last four or live years in givi circulation to the Bible; wh it facts may be ci lectcd, which will throw light upon our yet 1 3. mcining destitutions; whether it is expedient, < j gage simultaneously in ^supplying the Stat( with the Word of Lifo upon a plan sin/ilar 1- thatjWhich was agreed upon in Columbia, sever years ago; and if so, by what means and by wh agencies the plan can be most fully and the oughly, and jcdiciously cirricd into effect, i . that our entire reading population, have free a - cess to copies of the Holy Scriptures in the . own possession. And finally to deliberate upc any other subject connected with the diflusic of the Bible, whether at home or abroad, i Christian or in heathen lands. i':i general fact is kuoivru that distric s v. country, which have been thoroughly supple one year have contained many destitute faiuilie he n^xt; and what is true of one district i* tru I of all the rest, as the same causes operate to eti ate the want, viz: the formation of new families the immigration of others, nd the wearing ou of the Bibles themselves: In uinst cases where rc-supply has been uadertak#^, after ah intervu 6fJbut or five years, the destitution iflflWte] found full half as great as at the period of th original supply, and in some cases greater, fion the causes already assigned. We allude to thi fact because it was one of the principal motive which induced the Managers of the Charlestoj Bible Society to propose a convention.

The American Society for the Difius: of Useful Knowledge proposed from t commencement, to devote very early att? tion to the publication of a series of wor ? 0.1 t; c more important branc.h"s of popu knowledge, to be prepared and issued ii es' sty I t and mariner, suited to the purpose; a School Librry.

Some of the considerations whicu have led the Society to attach special n- importance to this plan, are the following ; :iis 1. The social, circulating library is un"p questionably the most economical and effi-e. cient mode of supplying tbo means of cn knowledge, to the large mass of young per. ;8? sons between the ages of ten and twenty, in ^ in the common school districts, throughout at the country, now almost wholly unprovided j. with books of general information, so 2. This class ol persons ar? a fl period ?* of life in which the means of ki owledge are of the highest interest and value! In youth, )p the powers of the mind are all in active r. cxerjise. Curiosity is awake ; memory is faithful ; the attention, not yet distracted ' by the engrossing cares of active life, wives >y its If wholly to its work. There is an ar. c dor in the thirst for knowledge, which show* >. itself in the intense eagerness to hear and !. letiaia ort/4 rv?U'Aiihl nanolonl /*miI ~ nilSJVU J UIJU kiliXliJ VVVJUIVI OVVR WliOiCUIl gIO<? lt i/ication from books, if books could be ob. 5 taiucd, of a character adapted to their taste Jf'and age. *T-Mfperiod istl*Hiesf ffhto ?T e life for storing the mind with knowledge, n and a.most the only time to acquire a taste s for its attainment in future years. * 3. Such a library will be tho means of great advantage and improvement to the o schools with which they are connectod. It - will, in fact, acid a new department to the ' system of education, the iruiuence of which ,, w ill ex end to the whole po: ulation. It c will concentrate interst in the shools, enlarge the sphere of the teacher's instruction *od '* influence ele vate his employment and office w?tinrr n'pn??nr u. if h if n i ?~ s in the minds of the pupils, and in the fami. lies to which they beioug. It will raise ilitf tone of literary interest-and ambition among pupils, and relieve the dull routine ofmoer r elt ineniary instruction, by the pleasures of j entertaining and useful knowledge. It will - i be a h.iid of connecting link to unite the school wiili society around, aud will uaturit ally form the nucleus of an extended popuis lar library, which by subsequent yeaiiy ad- . diiions, will contain the materials for a general acquainranc e with all subjects of intertcrpst and b< nefi' to the community. 4. 11 seems n< cessary, in order to carry "in and complete the work of school educaw tion, to provide some such supply ofjuvenfle reading.

This plan also, byproh viding a source of emjoy mont and improve, ment for all the members of a family at home, will strengthen the domos c re; t ons n ana tend to review and restore the love of i- domestic pursuits and pleasures. The exts perience of ages shows that mankind ca& ,n exist salely and in happiness, only in the ;e form of a vast congeries o[families ; and :h the more we can str? hgthen the love of home, s, and bring means of mproveincnt and hop. iy | piness to every man's fr< side, and keep the rh | inma cs of the household at home, the better jd for tiie virtue and solid happiness of the comid rntiniiy. 6. it will bo a very oflectua mode of supplying t'M* population generally with the means of knowledge. Through the schol]rr ars, the books wtff find their way, in con,'7 stant rotation, to all the families around, an J v'l many circumstances w ill conspireto cause ,r them to be extensively read, by the adul [,J population. Parents are always, specially jn interested to their children's pursuits, >nd er often like to read themselves what th r y. children an* reeding. And the interesting ~u nature of t <e subjec's, the simplichely and ,m d.r-ctn'-ss ot til*- style, and the practical ul,i i y which will every w'-ero be aimed af, ,s will fit those works peculiarly to the wants ,c of a large class of our population, too much !ar digressed with cares, or wearied with the >c_ toils of life, or too little mental cul [ration to engage in more extended studies. J J O ~ ajj 7. Tiie plan is a very conomical one. _ The amount of useful result is very large, when compan d with the expenditure. A book sold to an individual is commonly read but by few, and is then laid aside, idle and useless. These books, on the contrary, w .t circulate continually, and be used by now readers in succession, till worn out. si An ediiio? of 1000 copies, in the ordinary way, w.ll reach perhaps 5000 or 10,000 oh minds. But on this plan, circulating among the fami ies of a thousand districts, they on will huve opportunity to reach several hunbe dred iho isands minds.
