The Princeton library has been enlarged since the beginning of the college term by the addition of 335 books, most of which have been bought at auction. The department of History has been benefited greatly by the new books. The "Stories of the Nations" which has excited so much favorable comment have been added entire. Kinglake's Crimea in eight volumes and four volumes of Browning's Tuscany have been given to this department. The department of Biography has been enlarged by Peigrot's French Biography; Politics, by Carson's work on the Centennial of the Constitution. To the department of Poetry have been added Hartsome's edition of the "Ancient Nutrical Tales," Falkoner's Shipwreck, and a new edition of Wadsworth. To Art, three volumes of Jackson's Dalmatic; and to Fiction, another edition of Poe's works have been given.
