One hundred and sixty accessions were on subjects foreign to the 

 Academy's interests and remain unclassified. 



Mr. John Warner, who died in July 7, 1873, bequeathed to the 

 Academy his library. It consists of 1,045 volumes, and upward of 

 1,200 pamphlets, forming 63 additional volumes, for the most part 

 on pure mathematics, physical science and engineering. The will 

 was made within one month of Mr. Warner's death, the Academy, 

 therefore having been adjudged by the Courts a public charity, 

 could not inherit nor could the books be otherwise conveyed to the 

 society until the coming of age of Mr. Warner's infant daughter, who 

 on attaining her majority, signified her wish that her father's 

 desire should be complied with. 



The books have therefore been conveyed to the Academy as the 

 gift of Mrs. Anna L. and Miss Lydia Warner in harmony with the 

 wishes of the husband and father. The library is specially rich in 

 Avorks of the last century on pure mathematics, and forms a valuable 

 addition to the Academy's bibliographic wealth. It has been 

 arranged in one of the alcove rooms.

 arrangement and cataloguing of the Warner library, a work
