Excerpt from Annual Report of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston, 1896 As the annual return which the Librarian is directed to make to the Trustees gives such complete and instructive information touching every department of the library, and exhibits so fully all the details of its management, they beg leave to adopt this return as part of their own report; other wise, this communication would be largely a repetition of what the Librarian has so well stated. The Trustees earnestly advise a careful consideration of his report, not only by the city government but by all who are interested in the success of the library and desire that it should fulfil the expectation of its founders, and become a great library, not only for general readers, but for students, scholars, and scientists. A repetition of some portions of his report, however, may be desirable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Originally published in 1984. In 1888 the British observer James Bryce declared "the government of cities" to be "the one conspicuous failure of the United States." During the following two decades, urban reformers would repeat Bryce's words with ritualistic regularity; nearly a century later, his comment continues to set the tone for most assessments of nineteenth-century city government. Yet by the end of the century, as Jon Teaford argues in this important reappraisal, American cities boasted the most abundant water supplies, brightest street lights, grandest parks, largest public libraries, and most efficient systems of transportation in the world. Far from being a "conspicuous failure," municipal governments of the late nineteenth century had successfully met challenges of an unprecedented magnitude and complexity. The Unheralded Triumph draws together the histories of the most important cities of the Gilded Age—especially New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Baltimore—to chart the expansion of services and the improvement of urban environments between 1870 and 1900. It examines the ways in which cities were transformed, in a period of rapid population growth and increased social unrest, into places suitable for living. Teaford demonstrates how, during the last decades of the nineteenth century, municipal governments adapted to societal change with the aid of generally compliant state legislatures. These were the years that saw the professionalization of city government and the political accommodation of the diverse ethnic, economic, and social elements that compose America's heterogeneous urban society. Teaford acknowledges that the expansion of urban services dangerously strained city budgets and that graft, embezzlement, overcharging, and payroll-padding presented serious problems throughout the period. The dissatisfaction with city governments arose, however, not so much from any failure to achieve concrete results as from the conflicts between those hostile groups accommodated within the newly created system: "For persons of principle and gentlemen who prized honor, it seemed a failure yet American municipal government left as a legacy such achievements as Central Park, the new Croton Aqueduct, and the Brooklyn Bridge, monuments of public enterprise that offered new pleasures and conveniences for millions of urban citizens."

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston, 1898 The Trustees of the Public Library present the following report of its condition for the year ending January 31, 1899, being the forty-seventh annual report. They include herewith, as a part of their report, that of the Librarian and its accompanying reports, including that of Mr. Worthington C. Ford, Chief of the Department of Documents and Statistics, together with the report of the Examining Committee. These reports contain details of which the Trustees in this report present only a partial summary. An exact account of the receipts and expenditures of the Trustees for the past year is found in the reports of the Librarian and of the Auditor, but these statements do not exhibit in a simple form the income and expenditures which may be said strictly to belong to the year.
