Hill-Stead’s library contains over 3,300 volumes that belonged to the Popes, a self-educated, well-traveled American family whose reading spanned numerous disciplines and several genres. Included are Noteworthy Paintings in American Private Collections, edited by artist John LaFarge and August Jaccaci, with a chapter on Alfred Pope’s collection; Ogilby’s America of 1671; and a two-volume 1755 first edition of Samuel Johnson’s dictionary.
