The binding Of magazines and pam
phIets was begun in November. and
while but little has been done, il has
demonstrated the importance OF the
work and opened the way To its COM
Ilction in the near future. The pur-
chasing of books was resumed the
same month, very slowly but with more
system than heretofore, and hence. CON
sidering the outlay, with more effect.
In the meantime the mcager outlay Of
money for books has been supplement-
cd by n generous number OF donations,
so that while s5i5.6S has been expend-
ed from the book fund. 212J new books
have been added, 1856 Of these being
donations, 5l2 purchases and 156 period
icals and pamphlets bound.
The most noteworthy accession of the
year was the kirkpatrick law library
given 10 tho library by Mrs. Moses
Kirkpatrick. Judge Kirkpatricks spe-
cialty was mining Jaw, and the library's
excellent collection OF books on mining
subjects has been supplemented by one

used by the bar Of the city. IL has,
moreover, value beyond the intrinsic
as 2 souvenir Of one OF the first and
warmest friends OF the institution.
OF the other donations we can not
speak, but they have been numerous,
and all have been acceptable
In one other particular progress IS to
be noted. In the fall extra copies of
current numbers OF Century, Harper,
st. Nicholas and Scribner's magazines
were purchased and these have since
been issued to book borrowers on the
same terms as are other books except
that they can be retained at home for
but four days. This has proved a pop
ular departure and the number Of mag
azines issued should be increased as
soon as means permit
