''Alexandre Vattemare: His Services In Connection With The Boston City Library'' is a historical book written by Josiah Phillips Quincy and published in 1885. The book tells the story of Alexandre Vattemare, a Frenchman who played a significant role in the development of the Boston City Library. Vattemare was an advocate for the exchange of books between libraries around the world, and he helped to establish the first international book exchange program. This program allowed libraries to share their collections and expand their resources. The book provides a detailed account of Vattemare’s life and his contributions to the Boston City Library, including his efforts to acquire rare and valuable books for the collection. It also explores the impact of Vattemare’s work on the library system as a whole and the role of libraries in promoting education and knowledge. Overall, ''Alexandre Vattemare: His Services In Connection With The Boston City Library'' is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of libraries and the individuals who shaped them.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
