SHAKESPEARE'S FIRST FOLIO FEATURES WIDENER EXHIBIT

Among the several rare volumes now on display in the Widener Memorial Room is Shakespeare's First Folio, the most valuable book in the Harvard College Library. His Second, Third, and Fourth Folios may also be seen.

These folios, the first of which was published in the early part of the seventeenth century, constitute an important part of Harvard's old editions.

Others on display include the "Royal Book," printed by William Caxton, the first English printer: the first English edition of "King Arthur and the Round Table," printed in 1557: and the Countess of Pembroke's own copy of Sir Philip Sidney's "Arcadia." Original manuscripts of Burns, Dickens, Lamb, and Stevenson, complete the collection.

Those in charge of the Widener Room wish to announce the display of these books during this week and the first part of next, and to state that Mrs. Livingston, the caretaker will show visitors the exhibits and explain features connected with them.
