FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
OFFICERS POR 1858-53. BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, LL. D., GEORGE TICKNOR, LL. D., Hon. JOHN P. BIGELOW, NATHANIEL B. SHURTLEFF, M. D., THOMAS G. APPLETON, EsQ., and the Joint Standing Committee on the Public Library, consisting of His Honor, BENJAMIN SEAVER, (ex officio, ) Messrs. SAMPSON REED, and LYMAN PERRY, of the Board of Aldermen, and Messrs. JAMES LAWRENCE, EDWARD 8. ERVING, JAMES B. ALLEN, GEORGE W. WARREN, and GEORGE WILSON, of the Common Council.
EDWARD CAPEN, LIBRARIAN.
The city authorities of Boston, In the year 1843, received from the Municipal Government of Paris, about fifty vol- umes of valuable books, and in 1847 a further donation from the same city arrived, consisting of rare and useful works, relating to the internal police of France, general and local statistics and history, illustrated with engravings, making a collection of nearly a hundred volumes. In Au- gust, a Joint Committee was appointed by the City Council to consider what suitable acknowledgment could be made for so beautiful and valuable a donation, and to provide a proper place in the City Hall to keep the books in safety. In October, 1847, this Committee, through their Chairman, Hon. Josiah Quincy, Jr., made their report and introduced an order, which was adopted, that a Joint Committee be formed to consider the expediency of commencing the for- mation of a public library under the control and auspices of the City, with authority to receive donations for the same, either in books or money, in case one should be es- tablished, and with directions to report rules for its use and management.
His Honor, Mayor Quincy, at this time had been author- ized to offer, and on the part of a public spirited citizen . whose name was not disclosed, did offer, a donation of five thousand dollars to the Library whenever ten thousand dollars should be contributed to the same by other citizens. But, as the City Council had no authority to appropriate money for the support of a library, no further action was taken until, in January, 1848, they directed him to apply to the Legislature for power to establish, regulate, and con- trol a library for the free use of the citizens of Boston. This power was granted March 18, 1848, with a proviso that no appropriation for any one year should exceed five thou . sand dollars ; and the act was accepted by the City Coun- cil, April 8d, 1848.
Having obtained this power, a negotiation was entered into by the Mayor, with the Trustees of the Boston Athe- næum, for the purpose of rendering it a Public Institution, so far as its Library was concerned. This resulted in the following votes of the Trustees and Committee on the Library.
At a meeting of the Trustees of the Boston Athensum, August 14, 1848, it was
Voted, That to insure the increase and extend the advan- tages of the Boston Athensum, the Trustees will recom- mend to the proprietors that they should give to the public the use of the Library, in as full a manner as it now is, or hereafter may be enjoyed by the shareholders, on the fol- lowing conditions :
First, That, on or before the first day of December next, there shall be paid to the Treasurer of the Athenaeum, or secured payable in one year from that date, with interest, the sum of fifty thousand dollars.
Second, That the City shall pay annually to the maid Treasurer the sum of five thousand dollars, in quarterly payments ; the rights of the public to cease on the discon- tinuance of the payments. It being understood, that, in case, and while the foregoing conditions are complied with, the management of the library of the Athenseum shall be confided to ten Directors, six of whom shall be chosen by the Trustees of the Athensum, and four by the City Coun- cil; and that, in case the City shall within five years dis- continue the payment aforesaid, then, on such discontinu- ance, there shall be created one hundred and fifty-aix new shares, which shall be divided among the subscribers of the said sum of fifty thousand dollars, their representatives or assigns, according to the amount of their several sub- scriptions, in such manner as the Trustees for the time being shall judge to be equitable.
Voted, That an attested copy of the foregoing votes be transmitted to the Mayor of the City. A true copy from the Records.
Attest : HENRY T. PARKER, Secretary.
Mayor's Office, Boston, Sept. 22, 1848.
At a meeting of the Joint Standing Committee on the Public Library, it was unanimously voted, That this Com- mittee will recommend to the City Council the acceptance of the proposition of the Trustees of the Boston Athenaeum, as soon as the assent of the proprietors of the Athensum shall be given to the same.
JOSIAH QUINCY, JR., Chairman.
At a meeting of the proprietors of the Boston Atheneum held on the 24th of October, 1848, the Report of the Trus- tees and the vote of the Committee on the Library on the part of the City having been read, it was
Voted, That the whole subject be Indefinitely post- poned.
Had this plan been carried out. eight thousand dollars a year would have been added to the funds for the purchase of books, and the popular character of the Institution would have caused donations that would, without a doubt, have rendered it the largest, most valuable, and most use- ful library on this continent. The reasons were set forth in the report of the Committee, and were approved by a majority of the proprietors, but were rejected, as it was not thought right by a vote to alter the relations of the minor- ity in their property in the Athensum. This having failed, nothing further, except the appointment of a Committee annually, was done until August, 1850.
In 1850, two donations of great value were made to the Public Library ; the one of a thousand dollars in money, by Hon. John P. Bigelow, on the 5th of August ; the other on the 7th of August, by Hon. Edward Everett, consisting of a very complete set of the Documents of Congress, the Commons Journals and Index, in one hundred and eight folio volumes ; the North American Review Complete, Pub- lle Documents of the United States, American State Papers, American Diplomatic Correspondence, Massachusetts His- torical Society's Collections, and many other valuable works. These, with the Paris donations, form the basis of the Free Public Library, though we must not forget, in this connec- tion, the presentation of many volumes by other .citizens, and the acquisition of others by purchase.
Matters stood as above mentioned at the beginning of the present municipal year, when the Mayor, Hon. Benjamin Seaver, by a message, called the attention of the City Council to the subject. This document was referred to the Joint Standing Committee on the Public Library, who, in conformity with its recommendations reported, April 28th, in favor of choosing five citizens at large, who, with the Joint Committee, should constitute a Board of Trustees. They also recommended the immediate appointment of a Librarian, and the procuring of suitable rooms for the Library. The latter officer was elected on the 13th of May, and the Trustees on the 24th. The rooms are not Jet provided
Thus we have stated, as concisely as possible, the origin and progress of the Free Public Library. Public opinion from the first has been strong in its favor. and there is a dis- position in the City Council to contribute to its permanent usefulness, as far as the state of the finances will permit. But it must mainly depend upon private munificence ; and when we reflect that a beautiful building large enough to accommodate eighty thousand volumes was erected and presented to Brown University, by a distinguished citizen of Providence, Hon. Nicholas Brown, at a cost not exceed- ing thirty thousand dollars, when we recur to the history of the Boston Athensum and its princely donations, and of Gore Hall, at Cambridge, and then turn to the names and the influence of those who are the promoters and well- wishers of this Institution, we cannot believe that it will long remain unprovided with ample accommodations.
. Now understood to have been Mr. Quincy himself.
