Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Boston Athenaeum: With Biographical Notices of Its Deceased Founders The occasion and motives for preparing this History and the subjoined Biographical Notices will appear from the following statements. The corner stone of the new edifice for the Boston Athenaeum, in Beacon Street, was laid on the 27th day of April, 1847, with the customary formalities. At the request of Thomas G. Cary and John A. Lowell, the President and Vice-President of the institution, the Address inserted in this History was delivered. Subsequently a wish was expressed by those gentlemen, that the outline then sketched should be filled up. Although aware that the materials for the task were, some of them, difficult to be obtained, my relation to the founders of the Athenaeum, and to the institution itself, induced me to comply with their request. The early members of the Anthology Club were the first and efficient founders of the Boston Athenaeum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

After deliberation it was voted, that an iron stair-case should be erected in the vestibule, and the principal library-room be finished in the style and manner of the original design, and the other parts of the interior be left, for the present, wholly unfinished. At a meeting of the Trustees, May 8th, 1848, a committee was appointed to consider what measures should be taken to obtain funds for the completing of the Athenaeum building. This committee, in August, reporte

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the format of Fitzroy Dearborn's highly successful International Dictionary of Historic Places and International Dictionary of University Histories, the International Dictionary of Library Histories provides basic information for each institution - location and holdings - followed by an extensive (1,000-5,000 word) essay on its history as well as a Further Reading list. In addition, the dictionary includes introductory articles on the history of various types of libraries and a library history in various regions of the world. The dictionary profiles more than 200 institutions from around the world, including the world's most important research libraries and other libraries with globally or regionally notable collections, innovative traditions, and significant and interesting histories. The essays take advantage of the growing scholarship of library history to provide insightful overviews of each institution, including not only the traditional values of these libraries but their innovations as well, such as developments in automated systems and electronic delivery. The profiles will emphasize the unique materials of research in these institutions - archives, manuscripts, personal and institutional papers. The introductory articles on types of libraries include topics ranging from theological libraries to prison libraries, from the ancient to the digital. An international team of more than 200 leading scholars in the field have contributed essays to the project.

Download or read book Men of Letters in the Early Republic written by Catherine O'Donnell Kaplan and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the Revolutionary War, after decades of intense upheaval and debate, the role of the citizen was seen as largely political. But as Catherine O'Donnell Kaplan reveals, some Americans saw a need for a realm of public men outside politics. They believed that neither the nation nor they themselves could achieve virtue and happiness through politics alone. Imagining a different kind of citizenship, they founded periodicals, circulated manuscripts, and conversed about poetry, art, and the nature of man. They pondered William Godwin and Edmund Burke more carefully than they did candidates for local elections and insisted other Americans should do so as well. Kaplan looks at three groups in particular: the Friendly Club in New York City, which revolved around Elihu Hubbard Smith, with collaborators such as William Dunlap and Charles Brockden Brown; the circle around Joseph Dennie, editor of two highly successful periodicals; and the Anthologists of the Boston Athenaeum. Through these groups, Kaplan demonstrates, an enduring and influential model of the man of letters emerged in the first decade of the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1999. James Turner's biography offers the first modern account of Norton's life and its significance, following him from his perilous travels across India as a young merchant to his role as his country's preeminent cultural critic. Turner shows how Norton developed the key ideas that still underlie the humanities—historicism and culture—and how his influence endures in America's colleges and universities because of institutions he developed and models he devised.
