FOR a long time there has been need of a handbook which should give to visitors information concerning the various College buildings and the objects of interest in Cambridge. The students, too, have felt the need of such a book, and it gives us pleasure to announce that Messrs. Moses King and Thomas P. Ivy, of the class of '81, will issue, about the first of January, "Harvard and its Surroundings," a book modelled after "Alden's Sixpenny Guide to Oxford." This book will contain about sixty pages of reading matter and fifty heliotypes and woodcuts, including views of all the College buildings, those in Boston and Jamaica Plain as well as those in Cambridge. The heliotypes will be furnished by Osgood & Co., the press work will be done at the Riverside Press, and the price of the volume will be placed at one dollar. The enterprise meets with high favor among the "powers that be," and we predict success for the enterprising publishers.
