Excerpt from Annual Report of the Library Committee of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia: For the Year 1925 The number of books consulted in the Library includes only those supplied on demand. Readers have access to the bound volumes and works of reference kept on the shelves in the Reading Room and the Fellows of the College have access to the Book Stacks. There are, therefore, a large number of volumes consulted of which no accurate record can be kept. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
