7 ynrr or 4 LIBRARY TO Poor STUDENT
One Of the most interesting incidents in the early
history of the famous men Of cur country is
lated of Dr Bow,litch, the learned TIA slatcr Of
In Place. During the revolutionary war, pr-
vateer from Salem captured vessel ana brought
the prize into that port valuable private
library was among the articles on board. These
books were rare prize for those days, ana young
Bowditch borrowed n number from the person
having them in charge. The volumes were re-
tanned longer than was necessary for simple pc
rusal: and il was ascertaincd that the young stu
dent was desirous OF procuring the works, and
his means we're too slender for him to dare hope
of purchasing them, and he actually copied twenty
folio and auarto volumes of scientific works, which
were of great service TO him as books of refer
ence in after years. The manuscript volumes are
now in the possession of the sons Of DR.. Bow
ditch and are highly priced.
The facilities now afforded students in the
branch of science to which the talents Of DR..
Bowditch were devoted appear in striking con-
traSt with the early struggles for knowledge
which he encountered. - Boston Transcript
