[EAN: 9781330731499], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Inaugural Address of the Rev. Wm; Homes: At the Opening of the Mercantile Library Hall, of St. Louis, Mo; October 17, 1854 At the ninth annual meeting of the Mercantile Library Hall, held in the library rooms on the evening of 9th January, 1855, on motion of Mr. Alfred Vinton, Esq., the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The Rev. Wm. Homes, from motives of delicacy, which are highly appreciated, has omitted from his Inaugural Address all mention of the eminent services of Henry D. Bacon, Esq., to this Association; therefore, be it Resolved, by the members of the Mercantile Library Association in annual meeting assembled, That a due regard to the truth of history, a proper self-respect, and justice to Henry D. Bacon, Esq., alike demand that the omission by Mr. Homes should be supplied. We, therefore, declare that, in our opinion, the commencement and the completion of the Mercantile Library Hall building are both due to the public spirit and munificence of Mr. Bacon; his subscription of twenty-one thousand dollars to its stock having at once secured the beginning of the enterprise, which, without his aid, would have failed. His additional advance within the last year, of ten thousand dollars, enabled the company to finish the building, and supply it with book-cases, chandeliers, desks, tables, and with seats for both lecture rooms. Resolved, That in his donation of books, pictures, stationery and money, Mr. Bacon has far outstripped all others, and has manifested a warmth of friendship for this Association, which leaves us no words in which adequately to express our thanks. Resolved, That the Board of Directors is hereby instructed to cause these resolutions to be entered on their journal, to be communicated to Mr. Bacon, and to be printed with the Inaugural Address of Rev. Mr. Homes. Resolved, That the Board of Directors is hereby instructed to request Mr. Bacon to sit for his portrait to such artist as may be selected by himself, the portrait, when completed to be hung in the library.
