adelphia Library, and the Parliarnent Library of Upper Canada,

International Literary Xxchanges.
Several cases of books have been reccived from M. VATTE-
MARE as the first under the system of International Literary
Exchanges. By ordcr of the Governor,they were divided, the
historical and narrative portion being assigned to the Society,
and other portions to thc State Library, and the State Agricul-
tural Society. The Society's portion numbered 231 volumes,
77 pamphlets, and 90 maps, plates and engravings; of the
volumes 24 were folios, and 30 quartos-94 historical, 55 scien-
tific, 19 industrial, 25 laws and legislation, and 38 miscellaneous.
Among the hiutorical were four volurnes of the original edition
of tlie Jesuit Ilelations-almost priceless in value. Nearly all
these works are valuable for their European statistics and infor-
mation, and form together an interesting addition to our Library.
