of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy and Political Economy. These
three donations were intended principally for the use of instructors,
and were accompanied with restrictions from general circulation. In
1859, by the will of Dr. Henry Bond of Philadelphia, several hundred
volumes were received, and provisions were made for a library fund
which when available will be about $11,000. The late Hon. Samuel
Appleton established in 1845, a fund which was increased in 1854, and
is known as the Appleton Fund. The income of this has been partially
applied to the purchase of books relating to Natural Philosophy."

"The Press" in Hanover is worthy of notice in this connection. We
quote from a published address by Professor Sanborn:

"No man lives in Hanover to-day, who can tell when any newspaper was
first printed in the town, or when it ceased to be printed. Even the
papers themselves have perished. Here and there, a stray number, or
possibly a bound volume, may be found among the useless lumber of an
attic. There was a press in Hanover, before the close of the last
century. It is reported that a newspaper was published there prior to
the year 1799. I have been unable to find a copy of it. In 1799, Mr.
Webster delivered a Fourth-of-July oration before the citizens of
Hanover, which was published in that town. A eulogy, by the same
orator, on a deceased classmate, was also published the next year.
Moses Davis, a citizen of the place, began the publication of the
'Dartmouth Gazette,' August 27, 1799. How long he continued to edit
and publish the paper, I cannot certainly ascertain. A paper bearing
that name was published for at least twenty years. I have a number of
the 'Dartmouth Gazette' dated June 23, 1819, being No. XLIII., vol.
19. The whole number to this date of the paper, in this form, is 1025.
It was then printed and published by Charles Spear. It would seem,
therefore, that the paper which originated with Moses Davis, lived for
more than twenty years. It was a valuable paper, containing a careful
summary of foreign news, sometimes long orations of English statesmen,
and an accurate record of local events. The original pieces were quite
numerous, written by occasional contributors, many of them students of
the college. The editorials were brief; in fact, a majority of the
early numbers contain no words which appear as editorial. The
political articles were decidedly favorable to the Federal party, but
moderate in tone. Du
