He had among his classmates at Harvard, President Charles William Eliot, Prof. 
Sylvester Waterhouse, Prof. James M. Pierce and William L. Gage, D.D. 

Soon after leaving college he began to reveal decided tastes and capacities as a 
librarian and bibliophilist. Five years after graduating he was put in charge of the 
Mercantile Library of Brooklyn, having then only about 3,000 volumes. Such evidence 
did he give of ability in this department, that he ws called away to the Congressional 
Library at Washington, and for some years was there employed. But the managers of 
the Brooklyn Library so much felt his loss that they prevailed upon him to come back. 
His great work as a librarian was really done in Brooklyn, though he wrought faithfully 
and well at Washington. The Brooklyn Library of 3,000, before he left it grew to 
83,000. The catalogue which he prepared of this Brooklyn Library, and which was 
published a short time before his death, is regarded as something new and original, 
and marking an era in publications of this class.
