The Chief Librarian of the British Museum authorizes the United Press to deny the statement circulated yesterday that the books and
publications written by Oscar Wilde had been withdrawn from public use in the library of that institution. An act of Parliament compels the Museum to keep
in its possession and accessible to the public copies of all publications copyrighted in the United Kingdom, except such as may be personally libelous.
The question of withdrawing Wilde’s books has not been considered at all. The rumor of their withdrawal was probably due to the difficulty experienced by
inquirers for the books in getting them, owing to the great rush of curious persons who desired to look through them.
