The Society has also received from Mr. Scudder 886 duplicates 
(mostly pamphlets) which were kept to replace former copies. 
There were also 278 works by himself, about half of which are 
new to our shelves. A special book plate has been made for the 
books of the Scudder library. 
A little more than one fourth of all the books and pamphlets 
received from Mr. Scudder are upon the shelves ready for use. The 
rest have been compared with the catalogue and entered in the 
accession catalogue. The great task of cataloguing this library 
has been performed with care and thoroughness by the assistant 
librarian, Miss Harriet Biddle.
