He was a frequent visitor at the Boston Athenaeum, and seized upon every new book of value as soon as it appeared: was the first to read translations of the Zendavesta and Confucius. He read almost every readable book in the English language as well as translations from all languages.
For the reason that the experiments are in print and easily accessible, I shall merely give you a record of my own book-talks at entirely informal meetings. Long ago, before there were library schools, Harlan H. Ballard, now librarian of the Pittsfield Athenaeum, used St.
And, indeed, I am twice as well this week as I was last. Your affectionate friend, dear Mr. Boyd, E.B. BARRETT. I have seen an extract from a private letter of Mr. Chorley, editor of the 'Athenaeum, which speaks huge praises of my poems.
