ROME.— An Appeal

His Holiness the Pope, according to the London correspondent of the Liverpool 'Post,' has made a direct appeal to members of the English Catholic hierarchy to assist him in completing the Vatican Library. ' The purpose of his Holiness is to secure a collection of manuscripts and books dealing with all phases of the history of the Church. These he will place at the disposal of the remarkable Biblical Commission which he called into existence in the Encyclical Letter of 1893, and which is in some measure to pursue its duties under his own personal direction.'
