Description: Collection of pamphlets and broadsides published in London between 1681 and 1683 collected into a volume and annotated by Narcissus Luttrell. Luttrell gave these volumes the title "Poetry longwaies". It is not known how many of these collected volumes were ultimately created. Luttrell's collection passed on to James Bindley who gives his name to the volume here at the Huntington. At the sale of Bindley's collection in 1818-1820, 3 volumes of these collected pamplets were sold. Eventually one has come to the Huntington (1681-1683), one to the Newberry (1660-1680) and one to the Clark (1683-1685) where it is known as Poetry longwaies. All three volumes have been microfilmed and photostat reproductions of individual items from the Huntington copy are also available.

John S. Arthur papers, (bulk 1880-1910)

Manuscripts

The collection is comprised of an autograph album of letters, clippings and photographs collected by John S. Arthur. Most of the album's letters are from booksellers and publishers, and the vast majority are addressed to Arthur. Of interest in the collection is a letter from F.G. Bain that discusses William Blake's (1757-1827) original drawings for Edward Young's (1683-1765) Night thoughts

The bulk of the collection centers on Scherer's work with the Council of National Defense during the First World War. There are two and half boxes of documents which had been previously collected in two large volumes. The original arrangement (by date) has been retained for both collections (labeled "Bulletins" and "General Letters," respectively) in cataloged form. The "General Letters" collection is the most extensive; it comprises the entirety of Box 2 and the first half of Box 3. In some cases - due to the similarity of their subject material - two or more consecutive listings in the index have been cataloged together in one folder. There are two smaller collections labeled "Noteworthy Activities Undertaken by State Councils" and "I.C.A. Circulars." These two smaller document collections have their own folders in Box 3. All four contain an index - those for the two still-bound collections list the bulletins in the reverse order of their appearance. The two large volumes have been cataloged in the order listed in their indexes.
