William Cullen Bryant miscellany, 1848-1876.

Autograph, manuscript fragment, and letters by Bryant, with 4 portraits of him, including one photograph, and a picture of his home on Long Island. The manuscript fragment appears to be part of a draft of an article on a floral exhibition. Letters are to B.J. Lossing, Mrs. L.M.S. Moulton, James Russell Lowell, and publishers Carey and Hart; most concern minor business or social matters. In the letter to Mrs. Moulton, Bryant describes the search being done for suitable Presidential candidates and comments on Turkey's adoption of a new constitution; in the letter to Carey & Hart, he expresses reservations about the idea of circulating a cheap edition of his poems.
