-----. "Extract from a Review on these Poems, in the present August's Number of Blackwood's Magazine," ([1835, Aug.])
Manuscripts
Collection strengths include the family correspondence of Jane Porter, Robert Ker Porter, and Anna Maria Porter spanning the years 1795-1841.The letters describe the social customs of the Regency and early Victorian eras, as well as the family's struggle to maintain an expected place in society despite great financial difficulties. The letters also mention, over the years, various novels, plays, and travel narratives the Porters are writing and publishing. The main weakness of the collection is the lack of manuscript material for Jane, Robert Ker, and Anna Maria Porter.

Visual Materials
A group of nine photographs of unidentified African American men, women, and children, mostly studio portraits taken between approximately 1888 and 1910. One photograph of a young man and woman dates to the 1930s and has been made into a metal button. Three card photographs have photographer's imprints from Mt. Vernon, Ohio; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Philadelphia. There is also a photographic postcard and a double-sided stereograph, possibly from the early 1900s, with images of a Black couple on a swing on one side, and a group of Black children playing marbles on the other side, with stereotypical language in the printed captions.
