Joshua Bates (1788-1864) was an international financier who divided his life between the United States and the United Kingdom. Born in Weymouth, Massachusetts, in 1828 he became associated with the great house of Baring Brothers & Co. of London, eventually becoming senior partner. He was arbitrator of the commission convened in 1853 to settle the claims of American citizens arising from the War of 1812. In 1852 he founded the Boston Public Library by giving $50,000 for that purpose, with the provision that the interest of the money should be expended for books of permanent value, and that the city should make adequate provision for at least 100 readers. He afterward gave 30,000 volumes to the institution, the main hall of which is named after him. 320 pages. Annali Universali Delle Science E Dell Industria Milano, Italy
