Excerpt from the Lehigh Burr, Vol.1.3, 1881:
The library has been lately embellished by the bust of certain celebrities, too numerous to mention. They are tastefully arranged on black marble columns and certainly add much to the appearance of the room. We believe them to have been purchased abroad this summer.
