Description

Excerpt from A Memorial of Joshua Bates: From the City of Boston After attaining the honorable position to which his merits entitled him as the senior partner in one of the most influential Houses in the commercial world, his memory went back to his residence in Boston; and without suggestion from any one he conceived the idea of doing something for the benefit of the community of his early home. In order that other young men, pre paring for a business life, might not suffer the depriva tions to which he had been subjected, but should have greater privileges than he had enjoyed, he made his first noble gift of fifty thousand dollars for the establishment of our Public Library. This has been followed, as you are aware, by donations of books to an equal amount for the same noble object. His interest in the Institution continued until his death, and his correspondence upon the subject exhibits the most comprehensive and liberal views of its benefits, particularly as connected with that system of Public Schools which has given Boston its peculiar position in the cause of education.
