LARGE COLLECTION OF BOOKS DONATED TO WIDENER LIBRARY
1347 Books and 247 Pamphlets Are Left by E. H. Abbott
A large collection of books has just been donated to Widener Library in the form of a bequest from the estate of Edwin Hale Abbot '55. The volumes constitute a miscellaneous group of sets, novels and text books, along with a considerable number of valuable pamphlets. The 1347 books and 247 pamphlets came to the library through his son, E. H. Abbot Jr. '03, a Boston lawyer.
This gift represents the life time collection of Abbot, books brought together while he was a student here, and later when a lecturer in the University. His recent death at his home on Harvard Street, Cambridge, ended a long career as a lawyer and railroad official.
