Gifts

Abbot gift. Mrs. Mary Abbot has presented a copy of the folio
illustrated edition of George Augustus Walpoole's The New Brit¬
ish Traveller, London, 1784. The volume was originally in the
library of the late Mary Alden Hopkins (A.M., 1908), and it was
presented by Mrs. Abbot in her memory.

Barnouw gift. Professor Erik Barnouw has presented the follow¬
ing useful editions of literary and dramatic works: John Dryden,
The Dramatick Works, London, 1725, in six volumes; J. Jelger-

sterdam, [1827]; Samuel Richardson, The History of Sir Charles
Grandison, third edition, London, 1754, in seven volumes; and
William Shakespeare, The Works, London, 1714, in eight volumes.

Berol gift. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred C. Berol have made a further
splendid addition to the Arthur Rackham Collection. This gift
includes eight watercolor drawings which Rackham drew for
the 1929 edition of Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield,
published in London, by George Harrap. The Rackham Collec¬

addition of these eight exquisite drawings enriches and broadens
the coverage of this artist's work in the Columbia Collection. Mr.
and Mrs. Berol have also presented a pen-and-ink drawing with
watercolor wash of an illustration done by Rackham for Barthold
Niebuhr's The Greek Heroes, London, 1903; copies of the limited,
signed editions of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, London,
1909, and Charles and Mary Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare, Lon¬
