An  extremely  valuable  gift  has  been  received  from
Henbt  p.  Waluno,  Esq.,  of  New  York,  formerly  our
fellow-citizen,  and  still  a  shareholder  in  this  Institution,  of
forty-nine  State,  Town,  and  County  Maps.    They  are  all

handsomely  colored  and  monnted,  and  are  the  product  of
his  own  indostry.  The  other  maps  by  Mr.  Walling,  with
one  or  two  exceptions  which  it  is  believed  that  gentleman
means  to  snpply,  are  already  in  the  Library.  When  con-
sidered as  a  whole,  they  are  a  striking  monnment  of  his
enterprise  and  skill,  as  well  as  a  lasting  memorial  of  his
liberality  and  good  will  to  the  Athenssum.
