Here I may say that any one, whether holder of a card or not, may use the Boston Library by application for a green slip (not white), on which, by signing his name, the borrower promises to use the book only in the Library building. A white slip entitles one to take the book home. It is much to be regretted that Harvard students are not allowed the use of the second largest and certainly best library in America, - the Boston...
...made; in reviving it, however, Clough succeeded in correcting many inaccuracies and mistranslations without marring its inimitable style. At the time of its first appearance the revision was highly praised, and the work may be said to have altogether superseded the inferior translation of the one then in common use, Langhorne's.

...subscribe and get into the habit of going there. To many the Reading-Room is known only from the fact of their having seen papers hanging on the walls of Lower Massachusetts during an examination. By the payment of a trifling fee, any one obtains the right to the use of the prominent Boston and New York dailies and of the large number of other newspapers and magazines of which we have given a list. We hope that enough persons will respond to the appeal of the directors to enable them to use the room in the evening...
