GIFTS.
Among the books presented to the Lii
brary are three gifts whose authors were
born in Belfast. "Sketches from my
Life" by DR.. James C. White of Boston
has been read with pleasure, both from
the literary merit of the book itself and
personal interest in the author, who has
been called the most distinguished son of
Belfast. can Interpretation of Maeter-
linck's Blue Bird" by the late Ida Craw-
ford Staples is contribution to the
Maeterinck collection IN the Library and
memorial to the author, who had many
friends in Belfast. 1.-The Practice of
Dental Medicine" by DR.. George F.
Eames of Boston IS a useful volume
which we are glad to have on our shelves.
A gift of more than usual value came
to the Library from the estate of the
late Mary Alden White, when Mr.. Ed
ward Alden of New York presented the
Library with collection OF fourteen
volumes in memory of Major Ansel
Lothrop White. The books we're gen.
ealogical and on the subject of the Civil
War, a new set of Genealogical and
Family History of Maine" in four vol
umes, bound in half morocco, being the
most valuable. Two of the books, Camp.
fire and Battlefield" by Rossiter johnson
and "Scenes from Every Land" by Gen.
Lew Wallace, have proved without ex-
ception the most popular books ever
placed in the Reading Room.
PICTURES.
During the year two sets of Stereo-
graphs have been purchased, the United
States and the Y Yellowstone Park, making
nine sets now in the Library, besides the
Field collection of one thousand views.
These pictures are constantly in demand
both for Reading Room and school use,
so that we recommend the addition of
one or two sets in the year to come We
have also collection of pictures taken
from the London News, which we shall
classify and catalog that they may be
more available for circulation. Our rec
ord shows that 1888 pictures have been
sent to schools and clubs during the year.
