Samuel Jones Tilden (1814-1886) was a former New York governor who had run for U.S. president in 1876. He went down in history as the first man to win the popular vote, but lose the electoral vote. His personal book collection comprising some 20,000 volumes, along with a good portion of his estate became the driving force behind the foundation of the New York Public Library.
