Proper foresight and judicious expenditure have made it possible for the entire cost of removal, including the cleaning and renewal of the portraits and busts, and all other incidental cost, to be brought within the amount contributed by our friends for this purpose.
Upon this happy result, as well as upon the fortunate circum- stance that nothing in our collections was lost or damaged in the course of its removal, we can certainly congratulate ourselves.
All this could not have been accomplished without the intelligent devotion and faithful labor of our Librarian, Mrs. Lord, and Mr. William Holden, who, with Mrs. Lord, co operated in devising and carrying out a wise plan for the orderly transfer of our entire library and collections. To them the Society owes a debt of gratitude. Thanks are due also to Mr. J. H. Gest, for service and advice as to the cleaning and renewal of the portraits and busts.
Mrs. Hodge, the Librarian, and other officers and representatives of the University, in many ways contributed to the convenience of moving into our new quarters; and we are sensible of our obligation

to them. Your President would suggest that you send to them some formal expression of your appreciation of their kindness.
Beyond the matter of this removal, which has, of course, been the chief event of the year, little remains to be mentioned, besides the current work of the Society, which appears in the report of our Librarian.
It is to be regretted that the Real Estate Committee have not been able, though they have been diligent in the matter, to accom- plish anything in the way of disposing of our property on Garfield Place. It should, however, be borne in mind in this connection that until we had actually removed it was not possible for our Committee to agree to give possession during the past year to any one desiring to purchase. And it is at least to be hoped that during the coming year, with some improvement that has come to the values of real estate in Cincinnati, we may be able to make satisfactory sale of our property. If not, the question will arise whether we had better not rent the premises from month to month, or for a term of years; for, it having ceased to be occupied by us for the purposes of our Society, the County Auditor may place our old home upon the tax duplicate.
During the past year the Society has published its usual printed report of its proceedings for the year ending December 2, 1900.
That our new quarters, in the matter of cleanliness, light, com fort and modern conditions, but above all as to immunity from fire, are greatly superior to our old quarters on Garfield Place, must be apparent to you all.
How far the more remote location of the Van Wormer Library is going to affect the attendance at our monthly meetings, is a question which the experience of the coming year will largely solve, but which your president regards with some apprehension. It may be that it will turn out to be necessary to hold our monthly meetings nearer to the places of business of the members of our Board.
Respectfully submitted.
JOSEPH WILBY, President.
HORATIO WOOD, a Corresponding Member of this Society since 1877, died at his home in Lowell, Mass., October 12th last, from the result of an accidental injury received the day before.
He was a graduate of Harvard College in the Class of 1857.
12
Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio.
Four years later he came to Cincinnati as partner of the late Eliza- beth Haven Appleton in the conduct of a school for young women, and he remained in this position until the school was given up in June, 1875. After that date he lived with his family in Lowell.
When the Historical Society was reorganized in 1868, Mr. Wood was elected among the new members. At the annual meeting in 1870, he was chosen recording secretary and was annually re-elected to this office so long as he remained in the city. It need not be said how well he performed his duties as secretary; the records of the Society show this. He was active and efficient in all that per- tained to the growing interests of the revived society, giving time and money ; of both, perhaps, more than he should have done.
After his removal to Lowell, he edited and in great part revised a history of Wilton, N. H., which was published in 1888. He gave also much attention to the genealogy and history of his own family.
Mr. Wood's mind was keen and active; he had both wit and humor, his knowledge of English literature was discriminating and profound; he was intolerant of sham and pretense. This is not the place to dwell upon the virtues of his private life, but he was a de- voted son, a loving brother, a faithful friend. E. F. B.

The meetings of the Society are held in its rooms in the Van Wormer Library Building, Burnet Woods, at four in the afternoon of the first Satur- day of each month from October to May.
The library is a free public library, open to visitors daily, except Sunday, from ten o'clock until one.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Historical and Philosophical Society of Qhio
FOR 1902.
· LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
CINCINNATI, December 1, 1902.
The following report for the year ending with this date is here- with respectfully submitted by the Librarian. The accessions to the Library have been :
Bound volumnes, 189
Pamphlets, . 750
Maps and Plats, 5
The bound volumes now in the Library are 17, 185, pamphlets 64,760. The gain has come from 140 sources; from the income of the Elizabeth Haven Appleton Memorial Fund, 37 volumes were bought; from the income of the Colonial Dames Fund, 4 volumes were bought; procured by exchange, 4 volumes and 12 pamphlets. All other accessions were gifts, coming from 76 societies and institutions, and 64 individuals, of whom 19 were members of the Society.
From our duplicates, 85 books and pamphlets were sold to the Ohio State Library; also we have sent to the same repository several boxes of duplicate State documents, as a place where such books would more likely be sought.
Funds being now available from the Margaret Rives King Bequest, all books in need of binding or rebinding now in the King collection have been selected and made ready for the binder; this work is already begun, and when completed will add very materially to the usefulness and attractiveness of this valuable donation.

The purchases from the Appleton Fund are almost all recent publications on American history.
The Colonial Dames Fund is used exclusively for works relating to our colonial period.
Among the books given this year is one I would call special attention to as a contribution to Cincinnati history of a high order of merit. I refer to Mr. Robert Ralston Jones' History of Fort Washington, written for the Ohio Society of Colonial Wars, and printed in its Register for 1902; this book, and the General Register for 1899-1902, were presented by the Ohio Society.
In this monograph on the old Fort, the intelligent, painstaking care given by the author in his research for authentic information is evident throughout; he has made for us a most readable, trustworthy work on a topic that should be of interest to every Cincinnatian.
The manuscript contributions to the Library this year have not been many.
A loan made by Mr. Stephen Day, of Morristown, N. J., gives a glimpse of pioneer life in our state. He has placed with the Society for an indefinite time twelve letters written from Ohio to friends in New Jersey by members of the Crane, Ludlow, Mulford and Doty families, the dates ranging from 1795 to 1846, but most of them written in the early part of the century just ended.
Mrs. John A. Gano has given to the Society nine letters, addressed to her father, Henry Vallette, by Caleb B. Smith. The first of these was written from Washington, in 1848, when Mr. Smith was a member of the House of Representatives, and in this letter he expresses the opinion that if Gen. Taylor should be nominated by the Whigs for the presidency he could not be elected. The other letters bear date in 1861-1863, and most of them were written while Mr. Smith was Secretary of the Interior during the Lincoln Administration at the outbreak of the Civil War. They give a vivid picture of the perplexities of the times, both in the cabinet and in the field.
A number of old commissions were presented by Mr. Stewart Shillito, two signed by James Monroe while Governor of Virginia, 1801 and 1802, five others signed by Governors of Ohio, Huntington, Meigs and Worthington, 1809-1818, each appointing William Sterritt, the great-grandfather of Mr. Shillito, to some military or civil office. There is also a deed from Mary Sterritt, of Chillicothe, conveying property in Columbus, Ohio, to her. daughter, Jane E. Wallace, the wife of Captain Robert Wallace, of Kentucky.

Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio.
From our associate, Mr. William W. Taylor, has been received a valuable series of receipted bills, dating from 18.17 to 1865. These had been the property of his uncle, the late Seth L. Thompson, and had by him been arranged chronologically in a book. Not only are these documents of interest to the student of prices, but they also contribute to our knowledge of local business firms. Many of these bills, ornamented with views of the places of business, are memorials of buildings long since vanished.
The University students are availing themselves, under the guidance of their instructor, of the advantages offered them by this Library, and as a better knowledge is thus gained of the true functions of historical societies, may not our members look hopefully to this younger generation for a more wide-spread interest in the work it is here aimed to accomplish ?
The Library of the Historical Society fills a place unlike the public or general library. In it is to be found help for the investigator, aid for the specialist in any branch of American history; and hither to this Ohio Society should come the advanced student, sure of finding something helpful in his study of our own state,
I must be pardoned for once more calling attention to the urgent nced of an adequate binding fund, sufficient at least to meet our more pressing wants; to put into general use our unbound serials and many other valuable publications would soon unfit them for binding; if the aim of the Society is to diffuse knowledge, then surely the wealth of material here in store should be put in a condition not only to protect it, but make it more available for use.

In the death of John D. Caldwell the Society lost not only its oldest member, but the last survivor of the Society in its active life before the reorganization in IS68. He was elected in 1849, the year when Cincinnati became the home of the united societies-the Cincinnati Historical and the Historical and Philo- sophical Society of Ohio-thus making his membership the longest by many years of any one of the honored members whose names have been on our rolls. Mr. Caldwell served on the Board in the several offices of secretary, librarian and curator, and always retained a lively interest in the welfare of the Society.
