Library  and  Cabinet  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. — 
Those  of  our  readers  who  are  interested  more  immediately  in  the  College, 
will  be  pleased  to  learn  that  the  Library  Committee  have  been  exerting 
themselves  during  several  months  past,  since  the  provision  of  additional 
case  room  for  books,  and  by  purchase  and  donations  have  increased  the 
library  quite  considerably,  as  will  be  observed  by  their  report  at  page  289. 
We  take  advantage  of  the  opportunity  to  suggest  to  the  members  and  others

volumes  appropriate  for  the  College  Library,  that  they  do  not  wish  to  retain, 
and  which  they  are  willing  to  donate  to  the  Institution.  Any  member  of 
the  Library  Committee,  if  notified,  will  send  for  books  which  may  be  pre- 
sented. The  Committee  have  also  prepared  a  catalogue  of  the  books  be- 
longing to  the  library  which  is  published  with  this  number,  in  addition  to 
the  regular  number  of  pages,  and  which  will  enable  members  to  know 
what  books  are  already  in  the  collection.  . 
The  Committee  on  the  Cabinet  are  about  to  prepare  bottles  for  the  recep- 
tion of  specimens  in  the  cases  recently  appropriated  for  the  purpose  of 
extending  the  Museum,  and  they  desire  to  give  information  to  the  members 
and  others  friendly  to  the  Institution,  that  they  will  be  happy  to  receive
