Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Maine Historical Society: February 27, 1907, to November 22, 1907 Mr. President and Members of the Society: Since my last report, November 22, 1906, has been a most important era in the history of the Maine Historical Society. We have made a great stride and it is but the beginning. During this intervening time our library and cabinet have been moved and installed in this new fireproof library building without confusion, loss, or damage, and at a most reasonable expense. We have increased the usefulness of our library many fold and enlarged the interest in our Society. The presentation of the Wadsworth-Longfellow house, which included the erection of this library building, is the greatest event of its character that ever occurred in Portland. All is now the property of a perpetual Society, whose instincts are the preservation of all that enriches our history and extends our States fame, and it should be something of a satisfaction to be of a generation who will leave more beautiful and interesting this city in which we all take so much pride. This accomplishment has not been solely the work of this Society, but the many who have contributed of their time and means and made evident their interest. Every visitor has contributed and the ladies of Portland deserve well of us. They have been a great factor that we could not have done without, and we hope the results meet their approbation. Since my last report we have received from gifts, purchase and exchange, 363 bound volumes and 424 pamphlets, also a chair once owned by Governor John Gilman of New Hampshire from his grandson, Edward H. Daveis, Esq., of Portland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
