THIRTY EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT, 1889 (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Thirty Eighth Annual Report, 1889As to the relation of the Library to the public schools, your committee suggest to the Trustees that the School Committee be requested to furnish to the Library, free of charge, a complete set of all the books and publications provided by them for the use of scholars in the public schools.Any report which the committee could make on the Patent-room Department Of the Library for 1889 would be but a repetition of the very full one printed last year, and as the suggestions made at that time, although approved by the Trustees, cannot be carried out for want of funds, we think it advisable to report merely, that the department is being developed slowly, according to the lines laid out at that time. The new acquisitions made on the recommendation of Mr. Heard are few, and form part Of the Librarians gen eral statement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
