Book Description
This book has been prepared for publication as No. 4000, a "Memorial Volume," of the "Tauchnitz Edition." Perhaps it may be well to explain to American readers what the "Tauchnitz Edition" is and what a "Memorial Volume" is in this collection. The "Collection of British Authors," or, as it is more popularly known on the European Continent, the "Tauchnitz Edition," was instituted in 1841, at Leipsic, by one of the most distinguished of German publishers, the late Baron Bernhard Tauchnitz, whose son is now at the head of the house. The father records that he was "incited to the undertaking by the high opinion and enthusiastic fondness which I have ever entertained for English literature: a literature springing from the selfsame root as the literature of Germany, and cultivated in the beginning by the same Saxon race.... As a German-Saxon it gave me particular pleasure to promote the literary interest of my Anglo-Saxon cousins, by rendering English literature as universally known as possible beyond the limits of the British Empire." In another place, Baron Tauchnitz describes "the mission" of his Collection to be the "spreading and strengthening the love for English literature outside of England and her Colonies."

CARROLL A. WILSON Thirteen Author Collections of the Nineteenth Century AND Five Centuries of Familiar Quotations Edited by JEAN C. S. WILSON and DAVID A. RANDALL Privately Printed for CHARLES SCRIBNERS SONS New York 1950 V Contents OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES 451 ANTHONY TROLLOPE 657 JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER 705 KANSAS GUV WM PUBLIC LIBRARY HeC G72 439 OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES 1809-1894 Oliver Wendell Holmes A CATALOGUE OF THE OFFICERS AND STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY IN CAMBRIDGE. OCTOBER, 1825. Cambridge, 1825. Holmes is listed among the freshmen, on p. 17. With much curi ous data. College board was 1.75 a week, board in town has been of late from 2 to 3 a week, and the estimated expenses for the college year totalled 176. This was the first Harvard catalogue in I2mo form. ORDER OF PERFORMANCES FOR EXHIBITION, TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1828. Leaflet, 4 pp. Cambridge, 1828. Hitherto unknown. Holmes appears as No. 7, An English Translation, from Sallust The Speech of Caius Memmius. A MS in Holmes hand is preserved in the Harvard archives photo stat with this. To date it has never been printed. Other speakers were William H. Channing, Edward H. Hedge, and Robert C. Winthrop. THE HARVARD REGISTER. 1827-1828. Cambridge, 1828. Copy formerly belonging to James H. Wilder, Holmes class mate, who has identified in pencil the bulk of the authors, and indi cates as Holmes the article Periodical Publications, at p. 76 May, 1827, signed W. H. If this identification is true, it is Holmes first published work, but in spite of the analogy of the sig nature with H. H. Edward Holyoke Hedge, it is certainly not true. Andrews Nortons copy, owned by H. V. Bail, attributes the article to William H. Brooks, 1827, as do four copies in the Har vard library, and the recently discovered wrappered copy of the May, 1827, issue belonging to John H. Warland, 1827. One of the Harvard copies attributes the poem at p, 27, Napoleons Depar ture to St, Helena, to Holmes, but the others unite in giving its author as John H Warland it is signed H. Various letters arc laid in concerning this publication, including four from P. K. Foky. In this collection only for historical purpose, since the above and other evidence proves that it has nothing by Holmes. 453 454 OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES LINES TO A YOUNG LADY. MS, without title, 4 x 3, three 6-line stanzas and one 4-line stanza. Support ing documents. Salem 1828. Earliest Holmes manuscript in private hands. Wholly unpub lished, and preceded in poetry only by his little-boy poem, in Abiels hand, in the E. J. Holmes papers, the Andover translation from Virgil, and perhaps the green bantling poem, q. v. The supporting documents tell the story. The poem was written for Marianne C. D. Silsbee maiden name not given as shown by a 1913 statement from a descendant. The date, 1828, comes from the envelope which enclosed them. They were written at Salem, where Holmes sometimes passed a part of the vacation with a married sister Mrs. Upham. With this is a charming a. l. s. and envelope of 1879 rom Holmes to Mrs. Silsbee, referring to early college days, my visits to Salem, etc. Marianne was then 14. The verses are undistinguished, but accurate, rhyming ab, ab, ce, a metre rarely used by Holmes. ORDER OF EXERCISES FOR COMMENCEMENT, 26 August 1829. 410 leaflet, 4 pp. Cambridge, 1829. Holmes is of course listed as one of those graduating and No. 9 is A Poem. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, Cambridge A contempo rary hand has endorsed the length of each contribution, and its quality, from which we learn that the poem began at 1 2 152 and took eight minutes in delivery, and was ggR which high praise b given to only one of the other twenty-eight participants, The ex ercises began at 10 40 A.

Book Description
Of all of Longfellow's beloved poems (and there are many) none is so personal, so sunny, or so touching as this affectionate love letter to his three daughters, "grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, and Edith with the golden hair." Longfellow's happiest hours were spent writing on a cluttered desk by the south window of his beloved Craigie House, an imposing mansion still preserved on Cambridge's famous Brattle Street. It was here that most of the action takes place (except for his literary reference, and brief excursion, to the "Mouse-Tower on the Rhine"), here that his daughters come creeping down the stairs to beard the gentle, genial poet in his lair. Lang's luminous illustrations perfectly capture the happy atmosphere of that house, the author's affections for his daughters, and the painterly quality of his verse. This book for young readers presents one of the sweetest poems in the English language, her newly illustrated, beautifully presented, and now available to a new generation of readers.
