The library has just received a valuable addition by the bequest of the manuscript and letter books of Charles Sumner. The gift of 171 volumes contains letters received by Charles Sumner between 1830 and 1873, thus covering his term in Congress and the period of the slavery agitations.
The donor, Mr. Edward L. Pierce, graduated from the Harvard Law School in the class of '52. He was the literary executor and biographer of Mr. Sumner and has been very active in collecting his works for publication. Mr. Pierce is the brother of Mr. H. L. Pierce, who, it will be remembered left a legacy last year to Harvard, amounting to nearly $750,000.
