Excerpt from Handbook of the New Public Library in Boston The new building of the Boston Public Library, the pioneer in the United States of free libraries supported by general taxation, and the most important of all American libraries, may well be called the most beautiful library structure in the world, as it certainly is one of the noblest public buildings in this country. It occupies the central and most conspicuous position in Copley Square. Facing upon Dartmouth Street, the Library extends back along Boylston Street and Blagden Street on either side, its rear wall overlooking the yard of the Harvard Medical School. It is surrounded by some of the most notable buildings in Boston, including, besides the Medical School, Trinity Church, the masterpiece of the late H. H. Richardson, the best known of American architects; the Museum of Fine Arts, next to the Metropolitan Museum, in New York, the best in the country; and, across Boylston Street from the Library, the Old South Church, the home of the society whose former home, the Old South Meeting-House in Washington Street, is a landmark of American history. The Library was founded in 1852. Its growth and development were rapid and sure, and in 1880 the old building in Boylston Street, opposite the Common, contained more than three hundred thousand volumes. It was in constant danger from fire, and it was impossible much further to extend its accommodations. The Commonwealth, therefore, with great liberality, granted a piece of land for a new building, and this land, together with an additional purchase by the city, forms the present site.

Excerpt from The Boston Public Library: A Handbook to the Library Building, Its Mural Decorations and Its Collections On the pedestals are carved the names of the worlds most eminent scientists and artists. The head of Minerva on the keystone of the central entrance arch is the work of Augustus St. Gaudens and Domingo Mora. Above, under the great central windows, are three carved seals upon backgrounds of foliage, all of them sculptured by St. Gaudens; from left to right, the seals are those of the Commonwealth, of the Library, and of the City of Boston. The seal of the Library has two nude boys, bearing great torches, as supporters; the Latin motto above signifies "The Light of all Citizens." The thirty-three granite medallions in the spandrels of the window arches on the three facades contain the picturesque marks or trade devices of early printers, carved by Mr. Mora. The Vestibule. The vestibule is of unpolished Tennessee marble; in a niche at the left is a heroic bronze statue of Sir Harry Vane, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636, the work of Frederick MacMonnies. The building is entered from the vestibule through three noble doorways, copied from the entrance of the Erechtheum at Athens; the double bronze doors which they enclose were designed by Daniel Chester French. Each door contains a graceful allegorical figure, in low relief; above are garlands, enclosing the names of the figures; below each figure is an appropriate quotation. On the left-hand doors are the figures of Music and Poetry; on those in the centre. Knowledge and Wisdom; on the right-hand doors. Truth and Romance.
