I now engage my friend, John Vaughan of Philadelphia to place 100. Dollars In Paris at your order, and request you to send me the books on the back hereof, or so many of them as the remittance will pay for, curtailing the catalogue at the end, so as to bring It within the limit of the remittance. It Is arranged with a view of omitting those which I am the least anxious to possess, but retain In your hands the s sum necessary to procure the Dion from Germany if not to be had nearer. Villers in his "Etat de la literature en Allemagne in 1807," pa. 33, says "le scavant M. Fr. Gulll. Sturtz a publie en 1807. un Dion Cassius," and a "catalogue de la librairle Crec, Latine, Allemande," which 1 possess, announces It in these words: "Dionis Cassii Hlstorla Roniana. ed. Sturtss Leips.

TH: JEFFERSON. 1 Doctor Butler's announcement led to the revelation by John UrI Lloyd, president of the Lloyd library in Cincinnati, that his library also had a hitherto unpublished Jefferson letter. The discovery of this letter came about In a dramatic manner. Several years ago the Lloyd library purchased in Paris the first volume of "North American Sylva" by F. Andre Michaux, a noted French traveler and botanist. When Miss Edith Wycoff, present curator of the library, was cataloguing the book, she discovered securely pasted In it a letter written by Jefferson to M. Michaux. This letter written eight years earlier than the Columbia letter as a token of esteem to the President's friend, in France, also reveals in a manner fully as Interesting as the other communication on of the Interests of the many-sideJefferson, viz. his keen appreciation of any contribution to the existing scientific knowledge of the time. The text of the letter follows: William Howard Taft, chief justice of the United his seventieth birthday anniversary with a family shows Mr. Taft, Mrs. Taft and their ten grandchildren.
