This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ...for June 1, 1914, and 21,534 pamphlets. The Librarian, under the direction of the Committee, has agents in various parts of the world, who, under instructions, are on the look-out for books considered desirable. The gradual increase in the library has so enlarged the collection that there is hardly shelf-room for the books now owned. The rooms on the library floor have become more and more glutted with the overflow, and it has been found necessary to occupy what was formerly the card-room, on a floor higher up, for the interesting collections of university memorabilia and other books not in constant demand.

Dugdale's "Monasticon" cost $157.50. Schoolcraft's "Indians" cost $100. Its value is rapidly increasing. Hutchinson and Minot's "Massachusetts" is a set steadily rising in price. Its cost was about $50, but one of the volumes alone is worth that sum. The Massachusetts Historical Society Collection (55 volumes), though incomplete, is valuable, one of the missing volumes having been offered at $30. One of the curiosities of the library is Brent's translation of Sarpi's "History of the Council of Trent." The "Jesuit Relations" (73 volumes); Thwaite's "Early Western Travels" (32 volumes); "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register" (70 volumes); Blair...
