Excerpt from Proceedings of the New York Historical Society: Annual Meeting, January 2, 1849 The correspondence with the members of the Society and with the officers of the United States army in Mex ico, was the means of awakening an interest among that distinguished body of men in the subjects which occupy the attention of the Society, and has resulted in valuable contributions to, and deposits in, its cabinet. The arti cles so contributed and deposited are antiquities of the ancient Mexicans, including weapons of war, household and agricultural utensils, idols, etc. From the same sources have been received dresses, weapons and other articles belonging to some of the aboriginal tribes with which we have but little intercourse. These are objects of interest and curiosity, and render the cabinet of the Society alike attractive to the antiquary and the ethnolo gist. From Don Alonzo Manuel Peon, of Yucatan, some antiquities from that interesting country have also been received. The Foreign Corresponding Secretary cannot but ex press the great obligations the Society owes to its late associate and member, John R. Brodhead, Esq., Secre tary of the United States Legation ln London, for the very valuable communications transmitted by him to the Society, and to Dr. Campbell, Librarian at the Hague, for similar communications. These several papers the Executive Committee has determined to print in the second part of the new volume of the Society's Collee tions, and they are now in the hands of the printer for that purpose. A letter from Mr. Brodhead, transmitting another paper from Dr. Campbell, which has been translated by Mr. Brodhead, received since the last meeting of the Society.

On May 11, 1911, the New York Public Library opened its “marble palace for book lovers” on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. This was the city’s first public library in the modern sense, a tax-supported, circulating collection free to every citizen. Since before the Revolution, however, New York’s reading publics had access to a range of “public libraries” as the term was understood by contemporaries. In its most basic sense a public library in the eighteenth and most of the nineteenth centuries simply meant a shared collection of books that was available to the general public and promoted the public good. From the founding in 1754 of the New York Society Library up to 1911, public libraries took a variety of forms. Some of them were free, charitable institutions, while others required a membership or an annual subscription. Some, such as the Biblical Library of the American Bible Society, were highly specialized; others, like the Astor Library, developed extensive, inclusive collections. What all the public libraries of this period had in common, at least ostensibly, was the conviction that good books helped ensure a productive, virtuous, orderly republic—that good reading promoted the public good. Tom Glynn’s vivid, deeply researched history of New York City’s public libraries over the course of more than a century and a half illuminates how the public and private functions of reading changed over time and how shared collections of books could serve both public and private ends. Reading Publics examines how books and reading helped construct social identities and how print functioned within and across groups, including but not limited to socioeconomic classes. The author offers an accessible while scholarly exploration of how republican and liberal values, shifting understandings of “public” and “private,” and the debate over fiction influenced the development and character of New York City’s public libraries in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Reading Publics is an important contribution to the social and cultural history of New York City that firmly places the city’s early public libraries within the history of reading and print culture in the United States.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
