John Russell Bartlett, author, born in Prov- 

 idence, R. I., 23 Oct., 1805, died there 28 May, 

 1886. He was educated for a mercantile career, 

 entered the banking business at an early age, 



Bartlett (J. R.) — Continued, 



ami was for six years cashier of the Globe bank 

 in Providence. His natural bent appcais to 

 have been in the direction of science and belleB- 

 lettres, for he was prominent in founding the 

 Providence athenaium and was an active nlenl- 

 ber of the Franklin society. In 1837 he engaged 

 in business with a Xew York house, but was 

 not successful, and entered the boolc-imiwrting 

 trade under the stylo of Bartlett & Welford. 

 He became a member and was for several years 

 corresjioi.ding secretary of the New York his- 

 torical society, and was a iiicmber of the Amer- 

 ican ethnographical society. In 1850 President 

 Taylor appointed him one of the conmiissiouers 

 to fix the boundary betw eeu the United States 

 and Mexico under the treaty of Guadaloupe 

 Hidalgo. This service occupied him until 1853, 

 when he was obliged to leave the work incom- 

 plete, owing to the failure of the appropriation. 

 He became secretary of state for Rhode Island 

 in May, 1855, and held the office until 1872. He 

 had charge of the John Carter Brown library in 

 Providence for several years, and prepared a 

 four-volume catalogue of it, of which one hun- 

 dred copies were printed in the highest style of 

 the art. — Appleton's Cyclop, of Am. Bio(j.
