Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Librarian of New Jersey for the Year 1901 I have been instructed by the Commissioners of the State Library to ask the Legislature to increase to the extent of $500 the appropria tion for incidental expenses in the Library. This sum will be suffi cient to permit a subscription for the printed catalogue cards, purchase blank cards for the work not covered by the Library of Congress, and secure a case for the catalogue. During the past summer a consider able part of the work of reclassifying the books in the Reference Library has been done by Mr. Rogers, the Reference Librarian, and it will doubtless be completed during the present year. It is pro posed to do all the work without any expense to the State beyond the amount stated. An important contribution was made in January last by the John L. Murphy Publishing Company, of Trenton, which sent. To the Library, as a special loan, a file of The State Gazette and New Jersey Advertiser from January 3d, 1797 The Federalist; or, New Jersey State Gazette, from its first issue on July 9th, 1798; and the New Jersey State Gazette, from its first issue on March 5th, 1799, to the date of the consolidation of these papers into The Federalist and New Jersey State Gazette, on July 8th, 1900 and a complete file of the last-named paper, under its various changes in name, down to December, 1889. The State already owned a file of the State Gazette from 1840. With the loan came an intimation that the papers covering the period from 1797 to 1840 would be left in the State Library permanently. These, with the valuable contributions made last year by the late John L. Murphy and by Francis B. Lee, furnish a continuous history of the State by contemporaneous writers during the nearly half a century from 17 97 to 1840.
