aged between 80 & 90 years: I think there were but 2 men in Boston of his standing at Latin School, namely - Messrs Colman & Winslow. We have no other information of John Ruck, and there is nothing to indicate the time of his probable connection with our School. On page 92 of the Catalogue some memoranda taken from the manuscript catalogue of Mr. Hunt have been given; the same manuscript contains the following similar agreements entered into by other boys, presumably in the North School, some of whom will be recognized as among our pupils. I Benj. Shaw engage the same for Jos. Langdon for half the time, and I Jos Goodwin for the other half. B. Shaw. I Nat. Shaw engage for Hen Goodwin. I Simon Eliot engage for Josias Byles. * I Jno Gillespie engage for Fortes: Vernon. his Jos. x Goodwin. mark his Nat x Shaw S. Elliott. E. Parker. S. Leach. John Gillespie. * Referring to the agreement of Peter Crequi, given on p. 92, referred to above. A LIST of Subscribers to the Bunker Hill Monument, published in 1830, gives ninety-five names of teachers and pupils in the Latin School, all of whom are recorded in this Catalogue except the following: Thomas J. Bowditch William C. Center. Frederick W. Hubbard. Joseph J. Loring. The reason of the omission of these names here is inexplicable, unless the crediting of them to the School there is an error. The names of Charles Brown, Jr., George Carlton, George W. Davis, John Motley, Andrew J. Ritchie, and Henry S. Sargent, which are given on the same list, are probably intended for Charles I. Brown, George J. Carlton, George C. Davis, John Lothrop Motley, Andrew Ritchie, and Henry J. Sargent on our Catalogue. |
