One of the books in our rare books collection is The Greek Reader, by Frederic Jacobs, "Professor of the Gymnasium at Gotha," in an American edition produced by David Patterson, "Teacher of Languages in New York." This 1827 title was a reader used here at Brockport in the old Collegiate Institute days in the classical Greek classes. Featured here is the bookplate from this title, still here after all these years!
