Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Library of the Morse Institute, Natick, Mass But there was an increasing desire for books among all the peo ple of the town, which could not be satisfied by a private collection, and in order to meet this reasonable feeling, the proprietors of the Citizens' library. On the loth day of February, 1857, voted to give it to the town, as a foundation of a Town library, provided the town will appropriate three hundred dollars, to be expended the first year in enlarging the library. And one hundred dollars at least annually, for the same purpose, and provide a room for the library, and appoint and pay a librarian. This was accepted by the town, April 6, 1857, and thereupon the Citizens' library became merged in a Town library. The town made annual grants for its support, generally in excess of the amount it was required to make. By the terms of its contract. A catalogue, published in 1859, shows that it had then increased to volumes, of which only 483 belonged to the Citizens' library. Another catalogue was published in 1866, and annual supplements of volumes added thereafter. These show a constant increase of interest by the inhabitants in their library, and when it was transferred by the town committee to the Morse Institute, June 2, 1873, there were in it volumes of well selected books. The Morse Institute was founded by Mary Ann Morse, who died June 30, 1862, leaving her whole estate by will, for the purpose of establishing a library for the use and benefit of all the inhabitants of the town. Under these circumstances, the town wisely trans ferred. By vote passed March 3, 1873, its library to the care and management of the Trustees, elected by the town, under the pro visions of the will of Miss Morse, thus forming the basis of the library of the Morse Institute.

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A landmark work of history explores how a group of greatly gifted but deeply flawed individuals—Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison—confronted the overwhelming challenges before them to set the course for our nation. “A splendid book—humane, learned, written with flair and radiant with a calm intelligence and wit.” —The New York Times Book Review The United States was more a fragile hope than a reality in 1790. During the decade that followed, the Founding Fathers—re-examined here as Founding Brothers—combined the ideals of the Declaration of Independence with the content of the Constitution to create the practical workings of our government. Through an analysis of six fascinating episodes—Hamilton and Burr’s deadly duel, Washington’s precedent-setting Farewell Address, Adams’ administration and political partnership with his wife, the debate about where to place the capital, Franklin’s attempt to force Congress to confront the issue of slavery and Madison’s attempts to block him, and Jefferson and Adams’ famous correspondence—Founding Brothers brings to life the vital issues and personalities from the most important decade in our nation’s history.
