Professor Maclaurin.

"The nightingale that in the branches sang—
Ah! whence and whither flown again. Who knows ?"

Victoria College owes its thanks to Professor Maclaurin for his gift to the College Library, prior to his departure, of a number of valuable mathematical works. There books, which the College Library did not previously possess, were specially chosen by the Professor from his own library of presentation to the College .
