Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Boston Public Latin School, Established in 1635: With an Historical Sketch ON the twenty-third day of April, 1885, the hundred fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Boston Public Latin School was celebrated in the new School House on Warren Avenue. At the end of its first quarter-millenium, the Committee to which had been entrusted the preparation of this Catalogue has great pleasure in offering it to the pupils of the School, and to all who are interested in the annals of the town and city of Boston as a fit memorial of its oldest School. It may seem a long period since this work was begun by the Committee. But as w: have said, once and again, in our annual reports, it was not worth doing at all unless we did it as well as we could. What we have desired was to make the best Catalogue possi ble of the teachers and scholars of the School since the beginning. New material has offered itself once and again, sometimes from unexpected sources; yet the elucidation of the broken record has always required, as will readily be seen, careful research, and one obdurate name, for which there was any hope of more light, has often set back the compiler many weeks in the work of printing. Frequently when a page has been supposed to be complete, new information has been received, which has required all that had been done to be cast away and the whole work to be begun afresh, thus greatly adding to the labor and increasing the cost of the book; and if any investigator, searching the Records of the Association, thinks the expenses of the years during which this Catalogue has been in press, have been unduly exorbitant, he can justly ascribe them to the cost of correcting old or doing new work which was made necessary by the acquisition of important information for the Catalogue, which arrived too late to be used in the original preparation of the pages.
