Emory University in Atlanta has received a donation of more than $1 million worth of rare books. The 22-title collection includes one of the first books ever printed in English, "Polychronicon," a 15th century volume of universal history.

It also includes a first edition of "Poems," the first book ever published by poet John Keats, and a theological study by St. Thomas Aquinas that is now the oldest book at Emory's rare books and manuscripts library.

The collection also includes rare editions of works by Emily Bronte, Rudyard Kipling, Victor Hugo and Charles Dickens. The donation comes from Ohio businessman and book collector Stuart Rose, an Emory alumnus
