FOR THE ASSEMBLY LIBRARY.
GOVERNMENT .PURCHASE. • I The Parliamentary Library is to be enriched by the addition of a valuable collection of books dealing with the early, history of New Zealand. This addition formed the library of the late Mr. Meason, architect, Christchurch, and has been purchased by tho Government from Mrs. Meason Coates, of London, who con-sidered-that it would be'best to'have tho' books returned to the country whoso history they contained. In regard to this matter, tho Hon. D.. Buddo states that tho volumes include, an important work by a writer who accompanied Captain Cook in one of his voyages round the world. Tho work had fallen out of notico altogether in recent' years. It had been intended to offer any books relating to provincial matters to provincial libraries, but as there are duplicates of only four of these in the Parliamentary Library, it lias now been decided to keep the collection intact in Wellington. Included in the collection are quite a number of somewhat rare French works of tho seventeenth ami eighteenth centuries.
