Exhibit "Phil" Collection at Library

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Students of Philosophy will find an exhibition in the Widener Library of extreme interest. The collection of 200 volumes, donated by Professor G. H. Palmer, consisting of early and first editions of philosophical works, was presented in the hope that it would act as a stimulus influencing other collectors to contribute to the Philosophical Library.

In addition to a number of first editions, among which are included Locke's "Essay on Government," Descartes' "Discours de la Methode," Pasoal's "Pensees," and Kant's "Critique," there are several original manuscripts and volumes annotated by the authors. The notes to one of Fichte's lectures, in his own handwriting, and a letter of Descattes, are two notable examples. The exhibition will be on view for two more weeks.
