Charles Eliot Norton papers

Title: Charles Eliot Norton papers

This archive contains letters addressed to Charles Eliot Norton from about 1845 to1908. Norton was a Harvard graduate (A.B. 1846) and professor of the History of Fine Arts at Harvard from 1874 to 1898, with a special interest in the study and translation of Dante. Many of the letters in this collection deal with art and with Dante. In addition he knew a great many prominent figures in both England and the United States, especially those in the political field and the literary and artistics fields. His correspondence with these people often touches upon their public and their private lives. From 1863 to 1868 Norton was joint editor with his friend James Russell Lowell of the North American review. The letters addressed to him as editor are marked in this index by a star (*) and the folders containing them are stamped with a red N.A.R.(=North American Review). In 1898 Norton's opposition to the Spanish-American war led Senator George F. Hoar to criticize him. A list of some of the letters Norton received commenting on this controversy is at the end of this index. Referenced throughout the finding aid is the Excavations at Delphi (scrapbook folder) with a folder designation, such as f.1, f.2, and so on. All folders can be found at item number 5308.

Title: A history of the reissue of "The seven lamps of architecture" in 1880 : autograph manuscript : London, Oct. 16, 1901.

Manuscript chronology, signed and dated, in the hand of publisher George Allen, recording the various steps leading up to the publication of the 1880 reissue of Ruskin's "The seven lamps of architecture", in 29 entries dated July 29, 1879, to the end of May, 1880. Allen summarizes key correspondence between himself and Ruskin pertaining to the publication of the book, from the publisher's initial suggestion that the book be reissued and the author's assessment and treatment of the text, to the final stages of the book's production, including the selection of illustrations, binding, and inclusion of an errata slip. At the end of his account, Allen affixes his concluding remarks: "The above is an accurate record of all that occurred. The payment to the author has exceeded the sum first named as a possible profit to him more than twice over." The manuscript was evidently composed by Allen at the request of dealers B.F. Stevens & Brown, Ltd., who handled the sale of Ruskin's 1855 copy of "The seven lamps of architecture", containing his extensive manuscript annotations and revisions for the 1880 edition.
