At the first ses sion of the territorial legislature, held at Belmont in 1836, a joint resolution was adopted, appointing the Hon. John M. Clayton, of Delaware (through whose instrumentality the clause in the organic act making the appropria tion was inserted), Hon. Lewis F. Linn, of Missouri, Hon. G. W. Jones, then delegate in congress from this territory (which at that time included what now constitutes the state of Iowa, as well as Wisconsin), and Hon. Peter Hill Engle, the speaker of the first territorial house of representatives, a committee to select and purchase a library for the use of the territory, and authorizing them to draw the sum appropriated for that purpose from the federal treasury. Mr. Engle was the active member of the committee, and made the selections and purchases, with the approval of the other members. James Clarke. Publisher of the Belmont Gazette, and first territorial printer, was the first librarian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
