This small soft-cover notebook contains a manuscript copy of the valedictory address given at the July 6, 1718 Harvard Commencement by graduate John Eyre. The fly leaf lists six names of individuals who died in 1720. The text includes edits and struck-through words. Received in the Harvard College Library on November 9, 1918 from Professor Barrett Wendell. John Eyre (1700-1753), a Boston merchant, was born in Boston on August 7, 1700. He received an AB from Harvard in 1718 and an AM in 1721. After graduation, he settled in Boston as a merchant. In 1745, Eyre served as an adjutant at the first Siege of Louisbourg. Eyre died on May 24, 1753. John Eyre had an older brother with the same name who drowned during his freshman year at Harvard in 1696. |
