Annual Report: The Library 55 uary 31, 1759, through September 11, 1761, plus one copy for November 26, 1763. To date we have found no holdings of these Votes and Proceedings for the years 1760 and 1761 outside of the Public Record Office in London. We purchased a number of military manuscripts during the year among which are The Complete Military Tutor ... Infantry (Philadelphia: 1809), Rules and Regulations . . . in Infantry (New York: 1815), and the Abstract of Infantry Tactics (Boston: 1830). Our collection of this material is an important part of our holdings. Through purchase we acquired a sternly admonitory pamphlet directed to New Yorkers and entitled An Address, By several Ministers in New-York, to their christian Fellow-Citizens, dissuading them from attending Theatrical Representations (New- York: 1812). Equally stern was the title of another pamphlet which we purchased, Black List.. .of those Tories who took part with Great Britain in the Revolutionary War . . . (Philadelphia: 1802). From Mrs. Goodhue Livingston we received two hundred and forty-two volumes from the library of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston, many bearing his bookplate. Mr. Frank Squier donated thirty-four pieces of colonial, Continental, and Confederate currency to our holdings in this field. The flavor of a by-gone era found in the almanacs of the day offers useful material for the historian interested in social history. To our comprehensive collection of almanacs we added, through purchase, The New-Jersey Almanack . . . 17 yp by William Ball (Philadelphia: W Bradford, 1758). Mrs. William W. Rockwell donated twenty-three almanacs of various dates from 1790 through 1902, and from Mr. Sinclair Hamilton we received Elton's Comic Alm-my-nack for 1837 (New York: 1836). We added the family Bible of Daniel D. Tompkins, Governor of New York (1807-1817), with manuscript genealogies of the Tompkins family, to our collection of Bibles associated with prominent families of New York
