Synopsis
Excerpt from Twelfth Annual Report of the Trustees of the Public Library: 1864
The most important occurrence of the year is the decease of the munificent benefactor of the Library, Joshua Bates, Esq, of London. On the receipt of the tidings of this event, resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Trustees, expressive of their feelings on the melancholy occasion, and of their respect for his memory. A copy of these resolutions, marked O, ac companies this Report, but gratitude demands of the Trustees a more particular reference to the career and character of one justly recognized by them as the Founder of the Institution.
