BOOKS 
 
 niSCEIVBD BY THE 
 
 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY 
 From the Library of the late George Brdslby. 
 
 Undoubtedly the most valuable gift of books to the Anti- 
 quarian Society, since that of its founder, Isaiah Thomas, 
 is that lately received from the heirs of the late George 
 Brinley of Hartford, Conn. The circumstances attending 
 this generous gift will be best understood by reading the 
 following letter from the administrators of Mr. Brinley's 
 estate : — 
 
 Hartfokd, Conn., Feb. 24, 1879. 
 To THE Hon. Stephen Salisbury, LL.D., 
 
 President of the Ameriean Antiquarian Society. 
 
 Dear Sir : — The late Mr. George Brinley of Hartford, when he 
 decided that his American Library should be sold by auction, 
 intended to give certain institutions and societies, which he desig- 
 nated, the opportunity of obtaining at the sale, free of cost, such 
 of his books as they should respectively select for their libraries 
 to the value in the aggregate of twenty-five thousand dollars. 
 
 Though this intention was not expressed in Mr. Brinley's last 
 will, and his widow's pui-pose to ratify the gifts by a formal 
 bequest was defeated by her decease intestate, his and her children 
 
take pleasure in giving the intention effect, and you are hereby 
 infoi-med that the American Antiquarian Society is authorized to 
 bid off, at the sales of the Brinley Library, books for the library 
 of the Society to the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000), 
 and that one-half of this amount — or a less proportion, at your 
 option — may be so taken from the First Fart of the Library, 
 which is to be sold in New York, on the tenth day of March next 
 and days following, by Messrs. Geo. A. Leavitt & Co., auctioneers. 
 A copy of the sale-catalogue is herewith forwarded to you. 
 
 As soon as practicable after the sale you will please furnish ns 
 with a statement of the amount to which books shall have been 
 so bid off for you, and thereupon a proper credit for this amount 
 will be arranged for you with the auctioneers. 
 We are, very respectfully, 
 
 Your obed't serv'ts, 
 
 G. P. BRINLEY, 
 
 J. HAMMOND TRUMBULL, 
 
 Administrators. 
 
 To this very liberal offer, voluntarily made by the children 
 of Mr. Brinley, to carry into effect plans formed by him, 
 but which had not been legally completed, the following 
 response was made in behalf of the Antiquarian Society by 
 the President : — 
 
 [a copy. J 
 
 American Antiquarian Society, 
 Worcester, Feb. 27, 1879. 
 George P. Brini.et, Esq., 
 J. Hammond Trumbull, LL.D., 
 
 Administrators of the Estate of late George Brinley, Fsq. 
 Gentlemen : — In behalf of the American Antiquarian Society I 
 thankfully acknowledge your favor of 24th inst. communicating 
 the offer of the heirs of George Brinley, Esq., to that Society 
 of the privilege of bidding off, free of cost, at the auction of the 
 library of Mr. Brinley, on March 10, books for the library of that 
 Society to the amount of $5,000. The Society will avail them- 
 selves of this privilege with a deep sense of their obligation to a 
 friend to whom they have before been repeatedly indebted. The 
 Society fully and gratefully appreciate the wisdom of Mr. Brinley 
 in an arrangement most favorable to the largest usefulness of his 
 excellent collection, and the good judgment aud generosity of 
 his family in carrying out his plan. 
 
 Very respectfully yours, 
 
 STEPHEN SALISBURY. 
 
The balance of the gift referred to in the letter of the 
 administrators, was divided as follows : To the library of 
 Yale College, $10,000 ; the Watkinson Library of Hartford, 
 Conn., $5,000, and the New York Historical Society and 
 Penn. Historical Society, $2,500 each. 
 
 The first part of the catalogue of the library, represent- 
 ing, it is supposed, about one-third of the whole collection, 
 was promptly forwarded to the society. This catalogue, pre- 
 pared by J. Hammond Trumbull, LL.D., Secretary of 
 Foreign Correspondence of the American Antiquarian So- 
 ciety, is a volume of 306 pages, including over 2,600 titles, 
 and, with the instructive notes added by the compiler, is a 
 valuable addition to bibliographical literature. 
 
 The sale began at the rooms of Geo. A. Leavitt & Co., 
 Clinton Hall, New York, on Monday, March 10, and con- 
 tinued through the week, attracting a large number of 
 gentlemen connected with the public libraries of the country, 
 as well as many noted individual collectors. The sale was 
 conducted by Joseph Sabin, the veteran bookseller of 
 Nassau street. New York. 
 
 Mr. Nathaniel Paine, the Treasurer, and Mr. Edmund M. 
 Barton, the Assistant-Librarian, were deputed to attend the 
 sale in behalf of the Antiquarian Society. 
 
 The additions to the library made from this source con- 
 sisted of two hundred and twenty-seven books and four 
 hundred and fifty-nine pamphlets; the latter bound in 
 convenient size, and arranged according to subjects. 
 
 The titles given in the following list are taken from the 
 catalogue, but are arranged in chronological instead of 
 alphabetical order. The works of the Mathers are given by 
 themselves after the list of general titles. Nearly all of 
 the publications of the Mathers are handsomely bound by 
 Bedford, Pratt, and other noted binders.

 " In this singular publioation, which is a close translation of the 
 Hebrew, Dr. Mather has not only disregarded the modern practice of 
 breaking the lines, whether rhymed or not, but he has run out (to use a 
 
44 
 
 printer's phrase) the whole matter; so that while each psalm loolcs 
 exactly like prose, and may be read as such, it is, in fact, modulated 
 so that it may be sung »s lyric verse. The learned Doctor says that 
 in the ' twice »cven versions' which he has seen, the authors ' put in 
 as large an Heap of poor Things, which, are intirely their own, — merely 
 for the sake of preserving the Olink of the Rhyme; Which after all 
 is of small consequence unto a Generous Poem; and of none at all 
 unto the Melody of Singing.'"

 MATHER MANUSCEIPTS. 
 
 In addition to printed works of the Mather family in the 
 library of the Society, there is also a large and valuable 
 collection of their manuscripts, including treatises, sermons, 
 diaries, interleaved almanacs, letters and memoranda. It 
 would require much more time to prepare a complete 
 catalogue of this interesting matter than the compiler can 
 give to it ; he must therefore content himself with a few of 
 the more important titles.

 draft of the Cambridge Platform. Also
