George Livermore
George Livermore (July 10, 1809 – August 30, 1865) was an American
antiquarian,
bibliographer, and historian, known chiefly as a book collector. He developed in his lifetime what was recognized as one of the finest private libraries in the United States and his library included many rare and one-of-a-kind bibles like some printed by
Johannes Gutenberg. Livermore owned twenty-six volumes (almost a complete set) of the Massachusetts Historical Society's Collections. He wrote newspaper articles from time to time.
Harvard College awarded Livermore an honorary
Master of Arts, although he dropped out of school at the age of fourteen.
