coupled with one Of the most retentive

this with supplements which have followeI

In 1875 Mr., Spofford became principal Ii

advancement of the library, it being very
largely through his efforts that the new Ii

In 1870 the copyright business was trans

Mr. Woon is picturesque-looking, sitting
there in his quilted petticoats and queer little

However, he might grow on one, in time
