University of Virginia Library

LIBRARY.

The Library of the University, originally selected and arranged
by Mr. Jefferson, has since been augmented by several
valuable donations; among them the legacy of Mr. Madison, that
of the late Christian Bohn, Esq., a generous and enlightened
citizen of Richmond, and a donation presented by an unknown
lady through the Rev. Dr. Alexander, of Princeton. Through
such additions, and the annual increase by purchase, the Library
now numbers upwards of 30,000 volumes.

Students are allowed the use of the books, under the usual
restrictions, and the Librarian is present in the Library, for
seven hours daily, to attend to their wants.
