Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry Morse Stephens Collection: Pamphlets on Franklin There are several account books, including one with the Con gress of the United States, which extends from January, 1777, to the end of 1778. The longest manuscript in Franklin's hand writing in the collection is a paper on the State of the British Plantations in America, which bears the date 1732, and turns out to be, according to Professor A. H. Smyth, a copy in Franklin's handwriting of a memorial written by James Logan, and sent by him to Walpole. The collection also includes some rare broadsides belonging to Franklin, and among other curios a copy of the Ode to Alcaeus, printed on the Franklin press at Passy, 1783. The entire collee tion was purchased in 1903 for the University out of a fund sub scribed to by various friends of the institution, at the instance of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell.
