Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston, 1896 As the annual return which the Librarian is directed to make to the Trustees gives such complete and instructive information touching every department of the library, and exhibits so fully all the details of its management, they beg leave to adopt this return as part of their own report; other wise, this communication would be largely a repetition of what the Librarian has so well stated. The Trustees earnestly advise a careful consideration of his report, not only by the city government but by all who are interested in the success of the library and desire that it should fulfil the expectation of its founders, and become a great library, not only for general readers, but for students, scholars, and scientists. A repetition of some portions of his report, however, may be desirable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston: 1891 They have always been greatly assisted by the suggestions and recommendations made by the different examining committees. They feel that their banks and those of the citizens at large are due to the members of the present committee for the through and careful way in which they have performed their difficult task, and the valuable time they have devoted to it. The trustees justly feel great satisfaction at the result of the committee's examination. They are aware that in the administration of so important a trust there must necessarily be something open to a fair criticism. The present report, however, finds that the working of the Library has been successful beyond their reasonable hope. The examining committee finds nothing of importance in the condition of the Library, which it is its duty to examine, to bring to the notice of the trustees as requiring remedy. Its advice in regard to future action upon matters which are specially left to the discretion of the trustees, while not required by the terms of the ordinances under which the committee is appointed, will be taken as an evidence of the great interest of its members in the welfare of the Library, and will receive the careful consideration that the trustees always gladly accord to the suggestions of any of their fellow-citizens. The trustees deplore the fact that the arduous duties of the examining committee did not afford the members leisure or opportunity to point out the deficiencies that must inevitably exist in so large a collection of books, and by their advice to assist them to strengthen the Library in departments that may be weak. In past years they have received great assistance from the reports of examining committees made by experts in different subjects: such as those by Dr. Harold Williams, of the last year's committee, upon medical books; by Mrs. John Heard, Jr., of two years before, upon the literature of science and technology; by Dr. Horace Howard Furness on the Barton library; by Mr. Thomas Sergeant Perry on French literature; by Col. T. W. Higginson upon the Parker library. But the trustees recognize how difficult it is to examine into a large an institution and to obtain anything more than a very slight knowledge of its workings in the short space of time that the most hard-working committee can devote to it in the year at its disposal, even if its attention is continued exclusively to the present condition and immediate wants of the Library.

Book Synopsis The Unheralded Triumph by : Jon C. Teaford
Download or read book The Unheralded Triumph written by Jon C. Teaford and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984. In 1888 the British observer James Bryce declared "the government of cities" to be "the one conspicuous failure of the United States." During the following two decades, urban reformers would repeat Bryce's words with ritualistic regularity; nearly a century later, his comment continues to set the tone for most assessments of nineteenth-century city government. Yet by the end of the century, as Jon Teaford argues in this important reappraisal, American cities boasted the most abundant water supplies, brightest street lights, grandest parks, largest public libraries, and most efficient systems of transportation in the world. Far from being a "conspicuous failure," municipal governments of the late nineteenth century had successfully met challenges of an unprecedented magnitude and complexity. The Unheralded Triumph draws together the histories of the most important cities of the Gilded Age—especially New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Baltimore—to chart the expansion of services and the improvement of urban environments between 1870 and 1900. It examines the ways in which cities were transformed, in a period of rapid population growth and increased social unrest, into places suitable for living. Teaford demonstrates how, during the last decades of the nineteenth century, municipal governments adapted to societal change with the aid of generally compliant state legislatures. These were the years that saw the professionalization of city government and the political accommodation of the diverse ethnic, economic, and social elements that compose America's heterogeneous urban society. Teaford acknowledges that the expansion of urban services dangerously strained city budgets and that graft, embezzlement, overcharging, and payroll-padding presented serious problems throughout the period. The dissatisfaction with city governments arose, however, not so much from any failure to achieve concrete results as from the conflicts between those hostile groups accommodated within the newly created system: "For persons of principle and gentlemen who prized honor, it seemed a failure yet American municipal government left as a legacy such achievements as Central Park, the new Croton Aqueduct, and the Brooklyn Bridge, monuments of public enterprise that offered new pleasures and conveniences for millions of urban citizens."
