The Widener Library has received and is now unpacking the Lincoln Library of the late Alonzo Rothschild, which is reputed as one of the finest collections of its kind in existence. Mr. Rothschild had spent thirty years in the collection of this library, and it occupied about 152 feet of shelves.

The collection is the gift of his widow and will be placed in the American History Department, where it will be known as the Rothschild Lincoln Memorial Library.
