The college library has recently received as a gift a very useful collection of textbooks from the publishing firm of Longwood, Green and Co., of London. The collection numbers 164 volumes in all, and although a number of the books are duplicates of volumes already in the library, still the collection is very welcome.
Perhaps the most valuable set is a set of twenty-three "Text books of Science," written by well-known scientists. These books treat of the various natural sciences, of photography, of telegraphy, of the steam engine, railway appliances, etc. Another excellent set is a set of 53 volumes of Latin and Greek texts, edited and annotated by Dr. John T. White, of Oxford. Among the other books the following deserve mention: a complete set of the "Epochs of History;" selections from the English classics, and numerous works on the different branches of mathematics.
