Of interest is that the University of Virginia (p.1992) is listed as containing 42,000 volumes. However, an article prepared by University Librarian, Frederick W. Page, "A Further Note on the Library," in Alumni Bulletin 2 (November 1895), pp. 101-103, gives the 56,733 figure. See also Clemons, University of Virginia Library, pp. 59-60.
