Note 243 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

Mr. Bartlett was born Oct. 23, 1805, and died in May, 1886. His life was so largely devoted to advancing the study of American history that this record needs to be made, and reference given to Professor William Gammell's Life and Services of the Hon. John Russell Bartlett, a paper read before the Rhode Island Historical Society (Providence, 1886), and the tribute by Charles Deane in the Amer. Antiq. Soc. Proc., Oct., 1886.
