Anions; the recent numerous and valuable Donations to the Library are a copy of Rosell ini’s “ Monumenti delV Egitto e della Nubia ” presented by His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, President, E.I., in March, 1855 ; and a copy of Lepsius’s “ TJenk- mdler am JEgypten und JEthiopien,” presented by William Richard Hamilton, Esq., F.R.S.
