WAsHINGToN's BOOKS.
Priceless Collection, Bearing His Auto
graphs, In Boston Athenaeum.

FFtCet0oS S0tISCtICH, DeAFinA f1IB AutO-
graphs, In Boston Athenaeum.
I In reviewing the final disposition of
Washington's worldly goods it is inter-
esting to recall the occasion when the
larger part Of his library, through the
generosity of public spirited citizens,
became the property of the Boston
Athenaeum. Here the bulk of Wash
ington's private library is now kept,
carefully catalogued, snugly shelyed
and jealousy guarded by stone walls.
The collection includes 455 volumes
and about $50 pamphlets. OF these,
Bod volumes, including SO made up Of
pamphlets bound together and several
hundred unbound pamphlets. may be
assigned to General Washington's IL
brary, the large majority Of them
without question. The remaining
eighty bound volumes and the rest Of
the pamphlets belonged to Judge Bush
rod Washington or to other members
of the Washington family.
The library committee of the athe-
naeum trustees In January. 1849.
when 1t reported on this invaluable
addition to the library, said;
"The greater number of these books
contain General Washington's auto
graph, all of which, so distinguished,
and next after them those which were
presentation copies to him, and next
to them those which contain his book
plate or can In any other way be
proved to have been in his possession,
would have been regarded, even In
Europe, as curiosities Of great inter-
est and value and would command
prices which might seem Incredible to
one unacquainted with the sums given
for objects associated with the mem
ory Of highly distinguished men,"
