Excerpt from Proceedings of the Maine Historical Society: January 23, 1908 to December 10, 1908 The monthly meeting of the Society was held at the library hall Thursday, January 23, and was called to order by the president, Mr. Baxter, at 2.30 P. M. Mr. Baxter read some extracts from early records of the town of Portland which he presented for the archives of the Society. Mr. Goold, the librarian, read a report of accessions to the library and art collections of the Society. Hon. Joseph W. Symonds read a paper on Nathaniel Deering of Portland and his associates. Adjourned. The last report of your librarian was made November 22, 1907. Since that time there have been additions and improvements in our library. The rooms are kept open from 10 A. M. until 5 P. M. and every effort is made to accommodate applicants, that the greatest usefulness may be derived from the library. Our efforts appear to give satisfaction. During the intervening time, since my last report, we have added to our library 103 books and 208 pamphlets, a total of 311 titles, 86 books and 198 pamphlets were gifts, 2 books and 3 pamphlets were by exchange and 11 books and 7 pamphlets were purchased.
