Catalogue Of The Groton Public Library At Groton Mass Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Groton Public Library at Groton, Mass The Groton Public Library was established in the year 18 54, and started at the suggestion of the Honorable Abbott Law rence, who offered to give the sum of five hundred dollars for that purpose, on condition the town would appropriate the same amount. The following letters, found among the papers of Mr. Lawrence after his death, and now among the manu scripts of the Boston Public Library, are connected with its history, and have a local interest. They tell their own story, and need no further introduction from me. The first letter is in Mr. Butler's handwriting, and, from the style, evidently his composition.
