Lauriat's, 1872 1922 (Classic Reprint): Being a Sketch of Early Boston Booksellers, With Some Account of Charles E. Lauriat Company and Its Founder Charles E. Lauriat - Softcover
Excerpt from Lauriat's, 1872 1922: Being a Sketch of Early Boston Booksellers, With Some Account of Charles E. Lauriat Company and Its Founder Charles E. Lauriat
From its earliest days Boston has borne a bookish reputation. Elder Brewster of the Plymouth Colony and Governor Winthrop and his son were owners of libraries. In what is practically a part of Boston, the town of Cambridge, the first printing press in the colonies was set up, and the first newspaper established on this side of the Atlantic was in Boston. Harvard College had its foundation in a gift of books, and as early as 1653 Captain Robert Keayne provided in his will for a town library. The earliest book catalog issued in America, that of the Reverend Samuel Lee of Bristol, R. I., was printed in Boston, in 1686.
