caption: The main thing everybody entering <PERSON>'s home study pays attention to is a vast library collected by the scientist. Most of the books are devoted to natural sciences, and in the first place to chemistry. However, there are quite a few publications dealing with the questions of developing the industrial power of Russia. Many books contain personal inscriptions. <PERSON>'s set of works which the author compiled himself occupies a special place in the collection. It also contains some of his manuscripts, portraits and drawings. Numerous notes on the margins and spare sheets put <PERSON>'s library on a par with archival materials. D.I.
