Volume : Abbott 1851-1860
Abstract:
The Abbott autograph book contains notes and autographs from a number of Abbott's acquaintances. Most contributors included short, inspirational quotations or poetry. Of particular interest is a letter from Senator Charles Sumner, dated March 29, 1860, in which Sumner gave his opinion on one of Abbott's recent books. An anonymous illustrator drew a pencil sketch of a man and woman, seen from behind, on the first page of the volume. This volume also has its own separate finding aid, located here: John Stevens Cabot Abbott Autograph Book.
