http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/648020951

The collection contains an issue of the Boston Commercial Gazette for November 18, 1823, containing a review of Coleridge's "Remorse," an announcement that Lord Byron has landed in Cephalonia, and an extract from Thomas Clarkson's preface to "Thoughts on the necessity of improving the condition of the slaves in the British Colonies with a view to their ultimate emancipation" together with a review of the Rev. George Wilson Bridges' pamphlet "A view from Jamaica" which answered William Wilbeforce's "Appeal in behalf of the Negro Slaves in the West Indies. The collection also contains an album of seven watercolors, chiefly of the Isle of Wight, 1818, by Caroline Bowles Southey. In the album each watercolor is labeled on the verso of the preceding or opposite page by the artist (with the exception of the first watercolor), and on the verso of the same page by an unidentified hand (i.e. the two labels do not match). In addition the artists has supplied a lengthy paragraph on the history of Brading Church with two tombstone inscriptions. All pages are loose. There is also an undated note from Cecil and Violette Lang giving the album to McGann. The collection also contains a manuscript poem "The dead and the living," circa 1840 b L. Louisa Kerr with illustrations by Caroline Moseley, about a recent incident in Cornwall. The collection also contains a letter from Christina Rossetti to Mrs. Heimann, 1853 November 24, on her family's health and school. The collection also contains an undated fair copy of "the sword" by Lettie Elizabeth Landon and a fair copy of "Lady Byron's reply to Lord Byron's farewell." The collection also contains two reproduction postcards of originals announcing publication of books by Anthony Trollope.
