One of the nicest things in the collection is this rare
bibliography, really a catalogue of a collection. In 1932 to mark the centenary
celebrations of Lewis Carroll’s birth, Flora V Livingston of Harvard compiled a
catalogue of the Harcourt Amory Collection of Lewis Carroll, part of the
Harvard College Library holdings. Sixty five copies were printed of which fifty
were for sale. A Christmas greetings signed by Livingston is loose inside. I
don’t know who the recipient was. Also shown is a book of personal verse
written by Harcourt Amory and inside are some newspaper cuttings of his poetic
contributions, signed “ Sylvia Throstle” his pseudonym.
