Title: Letter from Thomas Hollis to the Curators of Harvard College, July 21, 1762.

Thomas Hollis V (1720-1774), widely known as Thomas Hollis of Lincoln's Inn, was a very generous donor to Harvard College, particularly its library. This letter, which appears to have accompanied a package, demonstrates that he also donated prints to the College. Hollis wrote: "N.B. the Ludlow, Sydney, Marvell, & Cleopatra are struck on paper made from white & colored silk rags, the produce of premiums of the Society, the noble Society for promoting arts & commerce."

Harvard College Library. Lists of books donated by Thomas Hollis, 1763-1787.

Title: Lists of books donated by Thomas Hollis, 1763-1787.

Thomas Hollis V (1720-1774), widely known as Thomas Hollis of Lincoln's Inn, was a very generous donor to the Harvard College Library, particularly in the wake of a 1764 fire in Harvard Hall which destroyed most of the library's books and scientific instruments. This collection contains lists of titles (books and pamphlets) which Hollis shipped from England to Harvard between 1763 and 1770, as well as a "catalogue" of books from Hollis compiled in 1787. While these lists are not comprehensive and represent only a fraction of Hollis's donations to Harvard, they illustrate not only his extreme generosity but also the books he considered vital in shaping the intellects and political ideologies of students in colonial New England.
