Maiden murders
Rare Books
"'Maiden murders' is a collection of the first published short stories (in two cases the first unpublished short stories) by these talented writers and others of equal talent. They are maiden ventures, but as Mr. Carr says "they are iron maidens, full of sharp spikes and death." And each story is introduced by its author, informally, telling how he got it published, what his struggles were...The stories in 'Maiden murders' are good exciting reading--the backgrounds of how the stories came to be are entertaining and instructive. The anthology should delight both the fan and the student of writing"--Dust jacket.

A collection of rebusses [sic], riddles, conundrums, &c, poetry, acrostics, epigrams, etc.: commonplace book
Manuscripts
The volume beings in 1813. One of the first original poems by William Murton was written on his 20th birthday.The volume contains many poems written by William, several of which were written to his wife Mary (on the occasion of her birthday, Valentine's Day, their wedding day, etc.). There are also quotations and other writings in the volume. At some point William's son John took over the volume and there are several entries by him including some riddles and puzzles. The title "A collection of rebusses [sic], riddles, conundrums, &c, poetry, acrostics, epigrams, etc." seems to be John's title for the volume. On one of the inside covers is the inscription "Mrs. Murton." There are several tabs in the pages; the cataloger left them in place. William started writing from one side of the volume; John turned it and started writing from the other side.
