- catalog description "William Croswell (1760-1834; Harvard AB 1780, AM 1786) was a Boston cartographer, educator, and Harvard Library cataloger. Croswell was born in Boston in 1760 and received an AB from Harvard in 1780. Beginning in 1780, Croswell worked as a teacher in Boston, New York, and England and also circulated publication proposals for scientific works. In 1791 he published Tables for Readily Computing the Longitude by the Lunar Observations, and in 1810, he published A Mercator Map of the Starry Heavens. From 1812 until his dismissal in 1821, Croswell worked on a catalog of the Harvard University's Library holdings. Following Croswell's dismissal from Harvard, he returned to Boston and began a thirteen-year, unsuccessful campaign to collect on unpaid wages he felt he was owed by the Harvard Corporation for his library work. He also continued his earlier efforts to publish his scientific work and tried fruitlessly to gain acknowledgment from the larger academic community. Croswell died on July 7, 1834.".
