Furness autograph collection, 1757-1893, no date.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155864954

Collection of autograph items by 18th- and 19th- century notables, primarily of American and British extraction (along with three Frenchmen, a Prussian and a Piedmontese aristocrat). These figures include abolitionists, artists, clergymen, journalists, merchants, military officers, scholars, poets and politicians (among them presidents, vice-presidents, governors, cabinet members and U.S. congressmen). The collection comprises letters (53 items), promissory notes and bonds (11 items), poems (4 items), autographs (3 items), a state resolution and a military commission. The bulk of the items span from the time of the American revolution through the mid-19th century, although the collection extends from the earlier 18th century to the later 19th century. Two items are addressed directly to Horace Howard Furness, the collector.
