Americana

The trustees of the Morgan Library, recently bequeathed to the public by John P. Morgan (TIME, Feb. 25), have been prompt to take advantage of their power under the bequest, of exhibiting the contents of the collection.

Documents connected with national history from colonial to present times are to be on exhibition in the New York Public Library until June 1.

Included in this collection of Americana, are manuscripts of Franklin, Cornwallis, Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lincoln, Wilson.

The exhibition is the result of the clamorings of school teachers to be allowed to show their broods the originals of nation-building documents.
