托马斯·杨 (Thomas Young) 1731 年出生于纽约州北部。他是贫困的爱尔兰移民的孩子，在小木屋里长大，没有接受过正规教育。但他是一位狂热的读者，从年轻时就开始藏书，并最终建立了新英格兰最好的个人图书馆之一。
(Thomas Young was born in 1731 in upstate New York. The child of impoverished Irish immigrants, he grew up in a log cabin without the benefit of a formal education. But he was an avid reader who began collecting books at a young age and eventually amassed one of the finest personal libraries in New England.)
