Pamphlet Additions.
The pamphlet additions of the past year have been quite
large and valuable-950 pamphlets and documents, which is
over three times as many as were received the year previous.
The total number of pamphlets and unbound public documents,
now amount to 4,250. It is to be hoped, that during the present
year, at least a portion of them may be arranged by subjects,
and bound.

another edition of 1778; and a volume of Maps and Views
accompanying the President's Message and Documents, 1856-
'57. Also 13 maps-20 of which were purchased; 3 of Uoll 's
