A report by the American Antiquarian Society's (AAS) librarian is presented. The author notes that World War I has not affected the AAS Library's acquisitions and has increased book sales. The high prices paid for books such as "A New England Firebrand Quenched," by George Fox, and "Demonstration of True Love," by William Coddington, are noted. Books and pamphlets donated to the society include the tract "Continued Corruption, Standing Armies and Popular Discontents Considered," by William Bollan, and the pamphlet "A Letter to George Washington, President of the United States," by William Duane. Widow Josephine S. Gay donated a portion of the library of former AAS member Frederick Lewis Gay to the society. The donation of genealogies to the AAS is also noted.
