VALUABLE BOOKS.

The Woman's Club and Library Associa-
ton has recently come into the possession
by purchase and gift of some very valuable
books. A full set of Swedenborg's works,
substantially bound, was lately received
from the American Swedenborg printing
and publishing society, of New York. At
the sale Of the library Of the Rev. NJ. r.
Dillon-Lee,a few weeks ago, committee of
ladies purchased for the association several
volumes Of the new Encyclopedia Britain
lea, and the contract for the remainder of
the issue, to which two more volumes have
since been added; and also very old, rare
and valuable work, The history of the
Council OF Trent, written by servite
Monk Paolo Larpi, in 1919, and translated
and published by Nicholas Brent in Lon
don, 1876 The heavy, antique binding
yellow paper and quaint lettering testify to
its venerable age, and make it valuable
relic, well worth careful examination. Be-
sides the above, the ASSOCIATION has just re-
ceived from Rome, as the generous gift of
Mrs. Anna E. Stafford four beautiful and
valuable books, Gargiulio Musee National
de Naples, containing very fine plates Of
the statuary, has relief painting, frescoes
mosaics, vases, etc.,i the National Museum
of Naples, many of the originals being OBJ
tanned from Herculaneum, Pompei, Sra
bia, etc, and being the best exponent, of
ancient Greek and Roman art The asso-
citation and the community can congratulate
themselves on the possession of such inter
esting and valuable works.
