the "Salem Union Street Corporation," a brief account of 

 which, with a few historical reminiscences, are contained 

 in the following article. 



In September, 1867, the Press was removed to the 

 Central Building, on Central street, its present location. 

 The associations that cluster around this locality are 

 numerous, and a recital of them may, at some future 

 time, be deemed of sufficient importance to be presented 

 to the readers of the Bulletin. The office is now fully 

 equipped with type, and the various materials requisite in 

 a first-class book printing establishment, with the excep- 

 tion of the Presses which are inadequate for the work 

 required, consequently a portion of the pressAvork is done 

 elsewhere. Tlie great desideratum is a large Press and 

 steam power to operate the same, and we trust that all 

 friends of the institutions in this place, for the promotion 

 of science and useful knowledge, will aid in the accom- 

 plishment of this result. 



Great credit is due to Mr. John O'Donnell, the fore- 

 man, and to the compositors and pressmen in the office, 

 for the fine appearance of everything that emanates there- 

 from, which will bear comparison with the work of similar 

 establishments. 



The following books are now being printed at the office : 



The 6tli vol. of the Proceedings and Commnuications of the Essex 

 Institute, 8vo ; the 10th vol. of the Historical Collections of the Essex 

 Institute, 8vo ; the 1st vol. of the Bulletin of the Essex Institute, 

 8vo (issued monthly) ; the 1st vol. of the Memoirs of the Peabody
