Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty-Sixth Annual Report of the Trustees of the Public Library of the City of Boston, 1907-1908 Mr. Lincoln, who had been a member of the Board for ten years, died October 15. The Board at its meeting, Friday, October 18, took action as follows: The Trustees of the Boston Public Library desire to put upon their records their high estimation of Mr. Solomon Lincoln, for ten years a Trustee, and for eight years the President of the Board. A man of large affairs, he was always ready to give his pres ence and advice upon everything relating to the welfare of the Library; with good judgment and legal ability he helped us to decide all the difficult questions which arose at our meetings; he presided with rare dignity, impartiality and genial temper, and we regard his death as a great personal and public loss.
