39 items; some with autograph notes by Francis Lieber. Oversize box removed to Oversize Shelving. This material was transferred from the Acquisitions and Cataloging Department on August 1, 1984.
This series includes both bound volumes and loose pages. The material includes very early school exercises, manuscripts, short stories, and plays, some of which are in German and written under Francis Lieber's pseudonym Arnold Franz. The series also includes commonplace books, lectures, research notes, remarks, and catalogs; the subjects include travel, secession, education, Shakespeare, and slavery. Some of the material contains various penciled notes and locations, in unknown hands, made by earlier Huntington catalogers; also, some of the volumes and material are in very fragile condition, and will need to be handled carefully.
