this is a record Of generous gifts. both
great and small. from lovers OF learn
ing in this country and in England. ana
the library soon surpassed its former
size 80 that by 1890 it had increased to
about 1900 volumes. Among the
early contributors, after John Harvard,
are found the names of Peter Buckley,
Governor Winthrop, Sir kenelm Digby,
Theophibus Gale, Thomas Hollis,
Governor Bernard. John Hancock
Archbishops of Canterbury and York
and George Whitefield, who by his IN
fluence procured large numbers OF
books from others in England. In
June, ITS, when Cambridge was oc-
cupied by the Continental troops, the
library was removed to Andover, and
in November of the same year, part
of 1t was taken to Concord. to which
place the College had been transferred
The faculty and students returned to
Cambridge in 1870, but it was not until
1878 that the books were restored t.

ment was necessary, and the new east
wing was constructed at an expense OF
$4,000. Twenty years later the need
for further enlargement was met by
remodeling the old Gore Hall, and it is
interesting to note that at the close of
1902 the collection of books in Gore
Hall, together with the departmental
and special reference libraries of Cam
bridge University, consisted of COZ 100
volumes. From $4,000 to 10000
volumes are ordinarily added by gift
and purchase each year.
Could anything or anybody stop you
from writing if you got 81 a word for
everything you turned out? There are
many noted writer's who have obtained
this much for their manuscripts
Grover Cleveland and the late John
Hay frequently got $1,000 for 1000
word articles. Barrie's Little Minis
ter has paid him at the rate of 81 fer
each of it's 10000 words. Among
poets much larger rates have prevailed.
Tennyson's THE Throstle" cost its
publisher $40 a word and Kipling got
$1,000 for short poem on the Russo
Japanese War. Among English
novelists who have made from so to so
cents for every word in a long novel
are Hall Caine and Marie Corelli.
Compared with such money earners as
these. Dickens, Thackeray and George
Eliot were poorly paid for their labor.
For THE Mill on the Floss" George
Eliot received $4,000 for 1000 copies
of the three volume edition.; $3.50 for
10000 and $500 for 1000, a return
which scarcely represents s cents a
word. Thackeray never received mo, Z
than 100000 for any one of his novels.
Bulwer- Lytton's life revenue from his
novels was 100000, and the most sue
cessful of them all did not yield any
