WHITNEY, Adeline DT (1824-1906) D T
Autograph Quotation Signed
American author of girls tales and poems whose first book was published in 1859 "Mother Goose for Grown Folks" and last book in 1900 "The Integreity of Christian Science". AQS 1p 7" X 9" n.p. n.y. Very good. Faint vertical show-through along leftmost 1" from mounting traces on verso with ¼" paper loss near upper left corner not affecting text. On lined paper running vertically strangely Whitney boldly pens her three-stanza poem "A Violet" first published in her 1872 poetry collection "Pansies" and signs in full at the conclusion. Opens with "God does not send us strange flowers every year. / When the spring winds blow o'er the pleasant places / The same dear things lift up the same fair faces. / The violet is here." An unusually lengthy example -- Whitney usually penned short sentiments only or single verse lines for admirers not full poems. unknown

WHITSON, John H (1954-1936)
Typed Manuscript Signed
This Hoosier attorney turned writer cranked out potboilers -- dime novels also known as "penny dreadfuls" -- under a variety of pseudonyms for a variety of publishers in the late 19th century whereupon he became a minister and teacher and continued to pen young adult and mainstream fiction such as "Barbara a Woman of the West" 1903 "The Rainbow Chasers" 1904 and other novels. TMS 1p 8½" X 11" Nashville TN 25 March 1923. Very good. Faint edgewear and age toning. A bold and handsome typescript prepared by Whitson of his four-stanza poem "At the Call of the Whistle." This sentimental but sensitive ode to the coming of Spring contrasts new life with the pain of young death: "All things I'd give dear child if you could watch this Spring's returning! / But hark! e'en as I'm wishing it the whistle calls for you." It closes on a surprisingly morbid melancholy note: "So with the Spring we may not walk. Dear heart 'tis useless grieving; / The stony world cares not at all and the dear Lord is so far." Whitson crosses out and changes two words in the text "silver" becomes "bridal" and "must" becomes "will" and at the close he signs in full adding "Ward-Belmont" city and date as well. Whitson taught at the Ward-Belmont school for girls a tony finishing school from 1920 to 1923. Whitson published many poems in many publications but it's quite uncommon to find anything in his hand. unknown

Bound in the original dark red cloth stamped in bright gold over black panels on the front cover and on the spine. From the publisher: "This study effectively addresses the question: What was the involvement of the American public library community in The Great War A comprehensive introduction provides an overview of public library history prior to World War I touching on such topics as the growth of the public library from the genteel early nineteenth-century social libraries of New England and the Mid-Atlantic states and the founding of the American Library Association in 1876. The A.L.A. provided for an exchange of information and a means to address common problems encountered in librarianship. It facilitated the adoption of the Dewey classification system pressed for the publication of periodical indexes and began publishing its own collection guides. Wiegand details the socioeconomic characteristics of turn-of-the-century library professionals and their determination to address industrialization urbanization and immigration as these issues came within their sphere of influence. He identifies two perplexing problems of the period: the inability of public librarians to force Americans to actually use their libraries and the challenges posed by new forces in the cultural intellectual and literary worlds. It is against this background that American public librarians and their institutions responded to the call for united action during World War I. Chapter 1 deals with the response to the Great European War before the United States entered on the allied side in 1917 while Chapters 2 and 3 analyze library-initiated wartime activities on both the local and national levels. The role of the public library in food conservation and the infrequently addressed issue of censorship and book burning are scrutinized in Chapters 4 and 5. Chapter 6 outlines programs for the Americanization of immigrants. A concluding chapter offers a synthesis of the volume. An essay on primary sources is included in the bibliography. An Active Instrument for Propaganda inaugurates the Beta Phi Mu's Monograph Series that in the tradition of the International Library Science Honor Society's Chapbooks will add significantly to the scholarly literature of the library profession. The book will be an important addition to collections dealing with World War I and a valuable resource for historians of that period. Because wide coverage has been given to the wartime activities of hundreds of public libraries across the nation many local public library collections will be enriched by this important volume.".
