The income from the Brackett fund for the purchase of books 
in English became available for the first time. It was expended 
for books to be used in connection with the elementary instruction. 
These books are most attractive, and form the nucleus of what 
will in time become a very necessary collection, in connection with 
our elementary instruction. 
Among the most valuable additions to the library during 1913 
are the complete set of Curtis’s Botanical Magazine, 139 volumes, 
deposited with us by the Brooklyn Public Library, and the Index 
Kewensis, presented by Mr. George D. Pratt. 
The library also appreciates the gift of two rare and historically 
interesting volumes presented by Mr. Alfred T. White. The first 
is a copy of Musaeum Tradescantianum,; or, A collection of Rari- 
ties preserved at South-Lambeth near London by John Trades- 
cant. Lond. 1656. The second volume is a copy of The Amer- 
ican Physitian; or, A Treatise of the roots, plants, trees, shrubs, 
fruit, herbs, etc., growing in the English Plantations in America. 
Describing the Place, Time, Names, Kindes, Temperature, Ver- 
tues and Uses of them, either for Diet, Physick, etc., Whereunto 
is added a Discourse of the cacao-nut-tree, and the use of its 
Fruits; with all the ways of making Chocolate, The like never 
extant before. By W. Hughes. Lond. 1672.
