Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autograph Letters, Original Manuscripts, Books, Portraits and Curios From the Library of the Late Robert Louis Stevenson, Vol. 1: Consigned by the Present Owner Mrs. Isobel Strong of Santa Barbara, Calif His is by far the largest and most important collection of material relating to the late Robert Louis Stevenson that has ever come On the market, either in England or the United States. It is consigned for unrestricted public sale by the present owner, Mrs. Isobel Strong, of Santa Barbara, Calif., who inherited it from her mother, Mrs. R. L. Stevenson, upon the death of the latter in February last. The entire Collection was Stevenson's personal property and was in his home in Samoa at the time Of his death, December 3, 1894. The Collection consists of Books, Autograph Letters, Manu scripts, Objects of Art, and Curios, and has been divided into two parts. Part II will be sold later in'the season. Books: There are about 500 books in the Stevenson Lib rary. Some were inherited from the novelist's father, Thomas Stevenson, and others from his grandfather, Robert Stevenson, both of whom were distinguished engineers and lighthouse builders in Great Britain; some of them were presented to Stevenson by the authors and bear their inscriptions; others were purchased by Stevenson to read or study, and most Of the books on Scotch history and government were sent to him at his request when he thought of writing a history of Scot land Or was actually writing Kidnapped, David Bal four, and Weir of Hermiston. Many of the books contain notes, corrections, and markings in Stevenson's hand and have associations that will endear them to Stevenson collectors. Those that do not have his card, book label, or signature, con tain a signed statement by Mrs: Strong that they were form erly owned by him and were in his library at Vailima. The bindings of the books were lightly varnished to protect them from the dampness. Autograph letters: The Collection contains 300 auto graph letters, written throughout Stevenson's life, beginning when he could do little more than print his name. These are of the most intimate character and many of them, particularly those written in boyhood, contain drawings which will make them charming additions to Stevenson collections. Attention is called to the fine letters by Meredith; they abound in liter ary criticism and frank recognition of Stevenson's genius.
