Eliot's History of Harvard.

The Co-operative Society has secured for sale a few copies of the history of Harvard College written by Samuel A. Eliot of the class of 1817, and published in 1848. The book is a small octavo of 190 pages and is entitled "A Sketch of the History of Harvard College and of its Present State." The value of the book is due chiefly to its appendix, which contains chronological lists, down to 1848, of legislative grants, donations from individuals and societies, and gifts of real estate from individuals and the town of Cambridge; and a map of the Yard, showing the original parcels of land from which it was made up. The appendix also contains documents relating to John Harvard's a genealogy, and a number of interesting Harvard epitaphs.
