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

Download or read book The Last Utopia written by Samuel Moyn and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today’s idealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly reshaped our hopes for an improved humanity. In this pioneering book, Samuel Moyn elevates that extraordinary transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals about the ideal’s troubled present and uncertain future. For some, human rights stretch back to the dawn of Western civilization, the age of the American and French Revolutions, or the post–World War II moment when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was framed. Revisiting these episodes in a dramatic tour of humanity’s moral history, The Last Utopia shows that it was in the decade after 1968 that human rights began to make sense to broad communities of people as the proper cause of justice. Across eastern and western Europe, as well as throughout the United States and Latin America, human rights crystallized in a few short years as social activism and political rhetoric moved it from the hallways of the United Nations to the global forefront. It was on the ruins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achieved contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substituted for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and nationalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle and bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.
