The Baker Library has recently come into possession of a bit of history which should be intensely interesting to a country in which iron and steel play so large a part. Fifty-five documents have been unearthed, dated between 1650 and 1685, and relating to the Iron Works at Lynn, Massachusetts, the first in the country. Some are originals, and others are certified as true copies.
