kegee, Ala, some years ago. will doubt
less prove of interest to those readers of
the State Herald who are lovers of old
lore and rare theological works. They
represent the cream of a collection of a
life time. and were picked from a library
which, in a strictly theological sense, is
one of the rarest on the globe.
The Rev. Mr.. Hudson was member of
the South Alabama conference of the
M e. church, south, and was widely
known among churchmen as a scholar
and theologian of great depth.
This portion of his library occupies a
prominent position in the Alabama build
ing at the Atlanta exposition, and is con-
sidered one of the features of the big
show.
Nearly all of them were imported
from all over the world, and some are
finely bound and are splendid specimens
Of early Typography, being bound in calf.

brass hinges.
Among those of interest to ministers
are THE Minutes of the First Methodist
Conference Ever Held in London, in 174i.
by the late Rev. John Wesley being IA
complete history of the Methodist church
in England from its foundation. They
are said to be the only complete series of
these reports up to 1860 now extant.
They are in a remarkably well pre-
served condition considering their age,
ranging from 100 to 4l0 years Old and are
written in Hebrew, Greek, Chaldean,
Arabic, Sanskrit. German, Latin Eng
fish, etc. They are very quaint and curl
Gus looking, and there are many among
them which cannot be duplicated in the
world.
