at 2O9 West Springfield street, Boston,
Monday, was native of Bradford, VT.
He was engaged in the commission busi-

1000 selected volumes on his favorite sub
tect together with 5000 portraits and
prints, books and pamphlets, many rare
relies and the finest private collection of
Napoleonic coins and medals in Amer
lea II not in the world.
