"WIDOW" NOLEN'S BOOKS TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Nearly 10,000 volumes belonging to the collection of rare books of the late William Whiting Nolen, the "Widow" of Little Hall, were placed on exhibition in the galleries of William K. MacKay Company, Inc., at 7 Bosworth Street, Boston, on Saturday afternoon. The books will remain on display today and tomorrow. They will then be offered for sale at public auction on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, and on Thursday and Friday evenings.

In his will, Mr. Nolen bequeathed his famous collection of books on Lincoln to the University. With that exception, practically the entire library which filled the walls of his tutoring school at Little Hall will be sold under the hammer during the coming week.
