Augustine Heard and His Friends (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Augustine Heard and His Friends
Singularly enough three sons of Ipswich of the finest eminence are scarcely known today, save their names and a few great deeds. Augustine Heard is remembered gratefully as the founder of the Public Library. Joseph Green Cogswell is known only as the teacher of the Round Hill School. Daniel Treadwell, whose generous bequest has secured tothe Library an ample endowment, is only a name.
For many years, it has seemed to me a public misfortune that these men should have so little honorable recognition, and equally unfortunate that no way was open to secure to them their just due. Happily, by the kindness of the Heard family, the opportunity has been afforded me recently of making a careful study of their family Such wealth of material was discovered that the hitherto unknown Augustine Heard stood forth an imposing figure, brave, Winsome, generous, beloved and honored by the men of his own time, and worthy of the admiration of future generations.
