Ah, this is desecration! The true disciple and lover of historic and literary treasures will scorn to con descend to such malpractice. Think of a fellow having the nerve to indite an epistle to Queen Victoria, the Empress of India, in these words: Please kindly send me your auto graph, and oblige a great admirer.

This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of the Gluck Collection of Manuscripts and Autographs in the Buffalo Public Library James Fraser Gluck, who gave the Buffalo Library the manuscripts and autographs catalogued in this volume, was born at Niagara Falls, N. Y., April 28, 1852. He attended the common schools, Upper Canada College, at Toronto, and Cornell University, graduating from the latter in 1874. He studied law with Laning & Willett in Buffalo, and was admitted to the bar in 1876. July 15, 1877, he married Miss Effie D. Tyler, a daughter of Prof. Charles M. Tyler of Cornell. He was elected a trustee of Cornell in 1883, curator of the Buffalo Library in 1885, and trustee of the Grosvenor Library in the same year. He died at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York, December 15, 1897, in his forty-sixth year. This brief biographical sketch gives merely the dates of the principal events in Mr. Gluck's short life. He was an able and successful lawyer, a brilliant orator, a writer of authority on law subjects, and a man of great literary ability, culture and taste. He took an active part in every movement for the social and educational improvement of Buffalo. He was particularly interested in the founding of the Public Library, and his influence contributed largely to its establishment. It was in 1885 that Mr. Gluck first became interested in the collection of autographs and manuscripts. He was at that time a curator of the Buffalo Library. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Larned, the Superintendent of the library, called attention to the autograph manuscript of Robert Fulton, which was offered for sale in the catalogue of the London "Old Book-Dealer" at a moderate price.

Download or read book An Autograph Collection and the Making of It Classic Reprint written by Dorothea Mary Roby Benson Charnwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Autograph Collection and the Making of It The seven facsimiles chosen are of fragments reproduced exactly to the original scale. I avoid using letters, because if one page alone is given, only part of the whole can be read, and the reproduction of several written pages is awkward in a book. I am indebted to the editor of the Cornhill Magazine for per mission to reprint part of this volume. Much of its arrangement follows the form taken by my articles in that periodical. I have not published any letter by a living person. No material is used which is not to be found in my own possession. I have not sought to strain the relationships of the letters which I have chosen from my collection, and I have tried not to include any that are devoid of interest. I add the final chapter, both parts of which deal with my country home, for two reasons. One is that they illustrate what is to me the fascination of literary links. The other is that I believe that many people could add to the interest of their own houses if they took the trouble which to me has been a pleasure.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ramblings in the Elucidation of the Autograph of Milton In 1859, there appeared in the sale catalogue of the collection of Manuscripts formed by the late Mr. Dawson Turner, what pur ported to be the autographic receipt of the Poet in 1669, for the pay ment of the third five pounds he had received from Simmons for the copyright of his Paradise Lost. When we saw the fac-simile of that document, we felt certain, that neither that nor the Signature to the Singer document could be in the autograph of Milton. We then entered into an investigation of all the known Manu scripts considered to be in the handwriting of the Poet, and soon dis covered, that the well-known original document for the sale in 1667 of the Paradise Lost of Milton, preserved in the Manuscript Department of the British Museum, did not bear the autograph signature of Milton; the document itself being either an attested copy, or, if the original, the Signature was subscribed by procuration, owing to the Poet being at that period totally blind.
