ADVEETISEMENT, 



The folloAving list of libraries, colleges, etc., iu the United States 

 lias been prepared for the Institution, by W. J. Rhees, Chief Clerk, to 

 facilitate its system of literary and scientific exchanges. It has been 

 printed as a part of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, with 

 the idea that it might be generally serviceable to educational and pub- 

 lishing establishments. 



In order to ensure as much correctness as is compatible with the 



character of the work, proof slips were sent to different persons in 



each State for revision. The Institution, however, desires to receive 



additional information relative to new institutions, changes of title or 



character of the old ones, etc.

Secretary S. I.
