Foremost among the sixteen celebrations is the exhibition at the Connecticut State Library, open until December 5, which takes the spectator through the history of prining from the first precious pages set in movable type to the splendor of present day publications.

 State Library
 This historical exhibit features "the greatest book in the world"-- the Gutenberg Bible, in which the Old and New Testaments are bound in separate volumes. These are dis played through the generosity of J. F. Morgan. a native of Hartford, and the volumes are protected by locked glass doors. intricately pro- tected by an elaborate burglar alarm. Some copies of the Guten- berg Bible, the first book printed from movable type, were printed 'on velum, while the remainder were printed on paper.
 Second in historical importance only to this Bible are the other rare books, marking the principal mile stones reached by printing as it swept away the ignorance of the Middle Ages and carried knowledge to an entire civilization.
 The first printer outside of Ger many. Nicolaus Jensen of Venice, is represented by his De Prepara- tione Evangelical one of the first products of his press, and fine eX- ample of Jensen's work in perfect ing roman type.
 The work of William Caxton. Eng fish scholar and first English print CT, is seen in his 'Fayettes of Armes and Chyvalrye."
 Tue Doctrine Breve" of Juan PabioS, perhaps the first printed book in the New World, came of the press in Mexico City in 1544. A copy of this extremely rare work was loaned by Dr. A. s. Rosenbach.
 The Bay Psalm Book" the first printed volume in what is now the United States, was the work of Stephen Daye of Cambridge in 1640. The copy exhibited at the State Library is one of but eleven that have been preserved.
 All in all. two hundred and twenty-five volumes are exhibited, and they represent the outstanding printers of history, the first printers of Connecticut, and the leading con- tributions of this state to literature.

establishment of the Park is now
a state problem, Senator An
