Latin Bible From Original College Library Returned

Gift to College in 1704 Is Presented by London Bookseller

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

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."
