Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence and History of the Boston Athenaeum From 1807 to 1907: With a Record of Its Officers and Benefactors and a Complete List of Proprietors In many cases statements here will be found to differ from those in other books. It would be too much to say that these are never errors; but by a careful study of manuscript sources many corrections have been made. To illustrate: Daniel Webster subscribed to the fimd to purchase Washington's library, and his name has always appeared in the list of contributors, although he never made payment. Joseph Coolidge, who subscribed and did pay, has never before received recognition in the list. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Boston Athenaeum written by Richard Wendorf and published by Boston Athenaeum Library. This book was released on 2009 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve essays in this bicentennial publication address some of the most important episodes and issues during the Boston Athenæum's two-hundred-year history. Two chapters focus on the Athenæum's origins: what were its models, and how did it differ from contemporary institutions? Other chapters discuss the role of women, prints and photographs, the scruples collection, architectural holdings, and the book arts collection. Two essays are devoted to the Athenæum's role in the creation of the Boston Public Library and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Three other chapters discuss nineteenth-century British responses to the cultural life of Boston, the role of the Athenæum's conservation program, and the recently established Calderwood Writing Initiative. Each essay will remind both scholars and the general reader of the various roles the Athenæum has played in the cultural life of the nation. Founded in 1807, the Boston Athenæum, the largest membership library in North America, boasts an extensive collection of rare books and manuscripts as well as one of the most significant art collections at any American library. It is home to more than 700,000 books, including approximately one-half of George Washington's personal library from Mount Vernon.
Download or read book Sir William C Macdonald written by William Fong and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-06-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sir William Macdonald (1831-1917) is the father of the Canadian tobacco industry and one of the country's foremost educational philanthropists. His contributions to McGill University transformed it into one of the world's foremost research and teaching institutions. William Fong's biography places Macdonald's life in its historical context, painting a vivid portrait of Victorian Canada." "Born into a prominent Scottish family on Prince Edward Island, Macdonald rejected his Catholic upbringing and left home when he was eighteen. After three years in Boston as a bookkeeper he headed to Montreal and began to work as a commission agent. By 1868 Macdonald had become the leading manufacturer of chewing tobacco in Canada, and by 1885 he may have been the richest person in the country." "Macdonald turned to philanthropy when he was in his fifties; his endowments to institutions from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia made professionalism and practical education central to Canadian life. Fong describes in particular how McGill University evolved, largely through Macdonald's financial contributions, from an impoverished institution into an intellectual powerhouse. Most famously, he financed the research that led to Ernest Rutherford's Nobel Prize and to the start of the atomic age. Sir William Macdonald offers the first detailed look at the development of engineering, physics, and law at McGill."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the meticulous case studies of three individual houses from different eras, which serve to depict the social, political, and cultural effects that domestic architecture and interior design had on the upper class, the city of Boston, and a national American identity. It takes the reader on a journey to 18th and 19th century Boston and provides insight into the lives of these prominent men and women as seen through the perspective of their homes.
