Excerpt from The Cincinnati Law Library Association: An Address Delivered by W. S. Scarborough, Saturday, June 12, 1875, Giving an Historical Sketch of the Association and Its Library
I appear before you in answer to a request of my fellow-members of your board of trustees, that I would prepare and read to you an historical statement as to the organization, the early struggles, and subsequent growth and development of this institution. I knew very well when the request was made - but not so well as I do now - the difficulty of the undertaking, and that even with the utmost effort, my work would be imperfect and um satisfactory. I knew furthermore, that the detail neces sary to such a statement, if faithfully given, would not admit of graphic treatment or entertaining discourse. Nevertheless, I felt that the materials for such a state ment, so far as they are traditional, should be gathered up and put in some form for preservation, and that I might assume the mere labor required for doing it as well as any one else.
