1887.] REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 31 



Society, many of which are important acquisitions; particularly 

 one complete file of the Transactions of our Society. 



As the object and aim of this Society is the promotion of 

 the Science of Horticulture, not the least important aid to that 

 end was the establishment by the founders of the Society of 

 this Library, and which has from year to year been enlarged by 

 careful and judicious selection of the important works on Horti- 

 culture, and although we are admonished that " of making many 

 books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the 

 flesh," we are quite sure that, as Horticultural students, we are 

 not making such use of our facilities in this line as to injure our 

 health or shorten our days. Below will be found a list of the 

 additions to the Library during the year.
