Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from James Russell Lowell: An Address In the letter of Augustus Graham, the founder of the Brooklyn Institute, dated July 4, 1848, accompanying the gift of the property to the Board of Trustees, he says: "I give this sum with the injunction to your Board... that one-half of the net income from the buildings apply to the increase and keeping in order of the free library of the Institute, the residue of said income to be applied in part to the expense of an address to be delivered on the evening of the 22d of February, the birthday of George Washington, on the character of that great man, or of some other benefactor of America." Mr. Lowell had hoped, should his health permit, to deliver the address on the 22d of February, 1892. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
