A history of New Britain by Carl Neumann occupies ten pages of the book. About a dozen pictures of the city dating from 1836 are printed in connection with the history. A very interesting contrast is presented in two pictures printed on opposite pages, one showing the center of New Britain in 1888, the central feature being a horse car and another picture showing the center of the city in the present year with countless automo- biles dotting the streets and trolley cars taking the place of the antique horse cars.

The book contains the prog events to be held during welcome home week beginning today, with a picture of E. N. Humphrey, chairman of the general committee.
