Reed, Isaac, 1742-1807. Diaries of Isaac Reed [manuscript], 1762-1804.

Title: Diaries of Isaac Reed [manuscript], 1762-1804.

Diary entries are mainly brief and reflect little of Reed's many scholarly and editorial activities. They are chiefly concerned with his social life and are valuable for their miscellaneous information concerning the many prominent persons with whom Reed was on intimate terms, including Samuel Johnson, David Garrick, George Steevens, Edmund Malone, George Romney, and many others. Because of his frequent attendance at plays the diaries are a valuable source for theatrical history.

Guide to the Daily Worker and Daily World Photographs Collection, 1920-2001

Title: Guide to the Daily Worker and Daily World Photographs Collection, 1920-2001

The official organ of the Communist Party, USA, the Daily Worker's editorial positions reflected the policies of the Communist Party. At the same time the paper also attempted to speak to the broad left-wing community in the United States that included labor, civil rights, and peace activists, with stories covering a wide range of events, organizations and individuals in the United States and around the world. As a daily newspaper, it covered the major stories of the twentieth century. However, the paper always placed an emphasis on radical social movements, social and economic conditions particularly in working class and minority communities, poverty, labor struggles, racial discrimination, right wing extremism with an emphasis on fascist and Nazi movements, and of course the Soviet Union and the world-wide Communist movement. The paper has had a succession of names and has been published in varying frequences between daily to weekly over the course of its existence. In 2010 it ceased print publication and became an electronic, online-only, weekly publication titled the People's World. The bulk of the collection consists of printed photographic images produced through a variety of processes, collected by the photography editors of the Daily Worker and its successor newspapers as a means of maintaining an organized collection of images for use in publication. Images of many important people, groups and events associated with the CPUSA and the American Left are present in the collection, as well as images of a wide variety of people, subjects and events not explicitly linked with the CPUSA or Left politics.

Romney, George, 1734-1802. Journal and notebook kept during a tour through France and Italy in 1773 , 1773.

Title: Journal and notebook kept during a tour through France and Italy in 1773 , 1773.

A manuscript journal of a journey through France and Italy in April and May of 1773. The text was largely published by the writer's son, the Rev. John Romney, in his "Memoir of George Romney", 1830, although there are some differences. Romney travelled from Paris to Lyon and from Lyon to Nîmes by way of the Pont du Gard. In Nîmes there are descriptions of the Amphitheater and the Maison Carrée. From here he continued to Avignon, Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, from where he travelled by boat to Nice (providing the occasion for a description of Monaco from the water). He remained in Nice for a month, after several attempts to take ship for Livorno ended in failure due to adverse winds, but eventually succeeded in reaching Genoa where he visited the Palazzo Balbi, the Palazzo Durazzo Pallavicini and the Palazzo Doria, where the journal ends. Romney gives an account of the appearance and dress of the women in every town visited. Local color is provided by detailed descriptions of costume and, for example, an account of maypole dancing in Nice. A visit to a monastery near Nice leads to a diatribe on the wastefulness and futility of the monastic life. The journal includes several sketches, some in pen and black ink, some in pencil. The volume also includes Italian verb tables, a section on the role of the poet, and advice to the aspiring artist on observing the passions and drawing from life. The first section of the journal (written in Paris, concerning the increasing similarity between France and England and deploring the triviality of contemporary French taste in art) appears several times in slightly differing versions at the beginning and end of the volume.
