JOSIAH QUINCY, JR.
Mayor of Boston, December 1845-January 1849. Born 1802, died 1888. Believed in the Public Boston Library plan so thoroughly that he made the first cash gift to the Boston Library in the sum of $5,000. He made the gift anonymously with the condition that "$10,000 be raised at large for the same purpose and that the library should be as fully used by all, as may be consistent with the safe-keeping of the property."
