A book which has been gone from the Harvard library for two hundred years is back where it started from today, as the result of a Tercentenary gift to the University from Ifan Kyrle Fletcher, book-dealer, of London.
The volume is a Latin Bible, octave in size, bound in black, and was printed in London in 1580. On its flyleaf is the inscription: "John Wilson gave this Bible to the Library of Harvard college in New England, anno 1704."
When the book turned up recently in his collection, Mr. Fletcher presented it to Harvard in view of its historical interest this year.
