Josephus Nelson Larned was an American librarian and author. He was an editor of the "Buffalo Express" from 1859 to 1872. He was a superintendent of the Buffalo Young Men's Association from 1877.
Background
Josephus Nelson Larned, the descendant of William Learned who came to Massachusetts about 1632, was the son of Henry Sherwood and Mary Ann (Nelson) Larned. He was born in Chatham, Ontario, while his parents, both citizens of the United States, were temporarily residents of Canada. During his boyhood they moved to Buffalo.
Education
He attended public school until he was about seventeen. He was well schooled, but his further education was gained largely through his own efforts. He always regretted his lack of college training, but he appeared to his contemporaries as better informed than many college men.
Career
Larned became first a book-keeper, then a clerk, and in the fall of 1857 was given a position on the Buffalo Republic. In 1859 he joined the editorial staff of the Buffalo Express, with which he remained until 1872, writing able editorials in behalf of the Union cause during the Civil War. In the office of the Express he was associated for about a year with Mark Twain. Larned had a financial interest in the paper from 1866 to 1877.
In the fall of 1871 Larned was elected superintendent of education, and for five years directed his efforts, unsuccessfully, toward removing the schools from politics. In 1877 he was appointed superintendent of the Buffalo Young Men's Association with the understanding that he would reorganize the library, thereafter known as the Buffalo Library. Finding the books not classified, he investigated different systems, and finally adopted Melvil Dewey's decimal classification. In 1886 he moved the library into a new building which it occupied jointly with other cultural organizations.
He was one of the early members of the American Library Association and its president in 1893-94. After he had directed the Buffalo Library for twenty years it was taken over by the city, in 1897, as a public circulating library. Although this step was directly in line with Larned's policy, he was not in sympathy with the new board and felt compelled to resign. Thenceforth he devoted himself to literary and civic affairs.
In 1894-1895 he published his History for Ready Reference (5 vols. , supplements in 1901 and 1910). His Primer of Right and Wrong, for Young People appeared in 1902; his Seventy Centuries of the Life of Mankind (1905) was later republished as Larned's History of the World (1915). His History of England (for schools) appeared in 1900, A History of the United States for Secondary Schools, in 1903, and A History of Buffalo (2 vols. ) , in 1911. He edited The Literature of American History: A Bibliographical Guide, in 1902, for the American Library Association, and published a number of other books and papers.
Larned was active in the Civil Service Reform Association, the Municipal League, the School Association, and the Buffalo Peace and Arbitration Society. He was a member of the Liberal Club, an honorary member of the Saturn Club (1897), and a member of the Thursday Club (1899). He died in 1913 and was buried in Forest Lawn, Buffalo.
