  Burrows, George. Poem: "The Sacred Scriptures."

  Manuscripts

  This collection consists of an autograph album containing handwritten notes, letters, poems, and drawings by approximately 200 friends and acquaintances of American author Charles Warren Stoddard, including leading American literary figures, journalists, poets, critics, politicians, and actors of the late 19th century. Among the many notable contributors are Samuel Clemens, Bret Harte, and Joaquin Miller. The earliest item in the book is an 1863 dedication by Thomas Starr King, and continues with contributions primarily from members of San Francisco literary society beginning in the mid-to-late 1860s through the late 1890s, as well as from friends in other locales where Stoddard lived or traveled including Louisville, Kentucky; Washington, D.C.; Massachusetts; New York; and Hawaii. A letter from L.C. Bayles (page 23) introduces lines of verse with the note "in accordance with your request," reflecting Stoddard's curation of the album as a compendium of verse and personal sentiments tailored towards friendships and literary musings. The volume includes two photographs of groups of men and women, captioned, "Riverdale, N.Y., July 4th 1890" (page 116). There are manuscript poems and lines of verse, often penned specifically for Stoddard, from literary friends including Isaac Hull Adams; Daniel Dulany Addison; Benjamin Parke Avery; William Barry; Fred Buel; James F.

  Sir Francis Beaufort papers addenda

  Manuscripts

  One box of correspondence, documents, photographs, poems and wills; arranged chronologically (1797-1858), FBA 1-28. Notable correspondents include: Daniel Augustus Beaufort (son of Sir Francis), Harriet Henrietta Beaufort, Lady Honora Beaufort, Charles Sneyd Edgeworth, Frances Anne Edgeworth, Maria Edgeworth, Archer Thomas Upton, and Lestock P. Wilson. Also included are poems by Maria Edgeworth, one of which is written to Sir Philip Crampton, Surgeon General of the Forces of Ireland. The photographs are mainly of Edgeworthstown House, the Edgeworth family home in Co. Longford, Ireland. The wills and legal documents include the will of Daniel Augustus Beaufort (father of Sir Francis), an autograph 1843 codicil by Sir Francis and copies of various other wills. Apparently, there was a dispute between the Beaufort and Edgeworth families concerning the wills and codicils of Sir Francis, who died in 1857, and his second wife, Lady Honora, who died in 1858. Some of the correspondence and the legal memorandum, notes and opinions relate to this dispute and involve family members and lawyers.
