Winthrop, Esq., which formed a considerable part of the Library of his ancestor, John Winthrop, an early Governor of Connecticut. A list of these books was printed in a former Catalogue; but as the titles required revision, it was omitted in that of 1838, owing to the fact that these rare and curious volumes re mained packed up for safety during the period that elapsed between the removal of the Library from its former establishment in Nassau-street to its present edifice.
