John A. Schutz Miscellany Collection

It is possible this Miscellany collection was assembled by John Schutz as part of his own research as an historian, as well as the letters and documents collected as autographs for his interest as a collector; the material covers a wide range of years, authors and subjects: Ephemera, Correspondence and Documents are arranged chronologically in Box 1: 1693-1865, and Box 2: 1866-1959.

The material includes one piece of printed Ephemera (1693); the early American manuscript material includes correspondence and documents by William Burnet, Thomas Hutchinson, Thomas Pownall and William Shirley. The 19th century material includes correspondence and documents related to, among others, the American and British politicians and historians, George Bancroft, John Bright, Richard Cobden, John Davis, Charles William Eliot, Henry Hallam, Anthony Ashley Cooper (Earl of Shaftesbury), Robert Cecil (Marquess of Salisbury), and Robert Winthrop. The 20th century material includes correspondence by Charles Edward Chapman, Joseph Hodges Choate, Max Farrand, Hiram Johnson, Louis Knott Koontz, Robert Andrews Millikan, Frederic Logan Paxson, and Frederick Jackson Turner.
