Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Report of the Council of the American Antiquarian Society: Made October 21, 1875, at Worcester In accordance with a long custom, as authoritative as the By-Law which requires it, the Council of the American Antiquarian Society respectfully submit their semi-annual report, on its condition. They find it an agreeable duty to note the continued prosperity of the library. Its growth during the six months has been steady and satisfactory, and its use has been very generally extended to scholars and others, who have come hither - some from a long distance - to consult its books. The accession of pamphlets has been large, and while many of them are of no special rarity, some of them are of a good deal of value. It is impossible to say with truth that an ordinary pamphlet is worthless, for the time may come when its humble pages will furnish an obscure date that is wanted to fill a great gap. Or it may furnish a single fact that will fit in between two other facts, and the three will come together, like pieces of a puzzle, and be broad enough to establish a principle. Mr. Savage has said that he would give a hundred dollars a line for five lines about John Harvard. The time was when every incident in Harvard´s life could have been given in detail, but it was not known then that he was to found a college which was to spread out into a great university.
