It is a tribute to his instinctive appreciation that in so short a time he has brought together a collection which includes such unusual treasures as six presentation copies of first editions of Lewis Carroll, with inscriptions to Canon Duckworth, his friend and companion on the memorable boating trip which gave 'Alice' to the world; the superb series of Joseph Conrad first editions, with special autograph inscriptions written in reply to the very acute and pertinent questions of an admirer; corrected proofs and autograph letters of Rudyard Kipling; original manuscripts of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William McFee, Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain and Anatole France; presentation copies and first editions of Samuel Butler, Bliss Carman, Dickens, Thomas Hardy, and Rudyard Kipling; four Shakespeare Quartos and the Beverly Chew copy of the 1640 'Poems'; first editions of 'The Vicar of Wakefield' and 'Gulliver's Travels'; illuminated manuscripts and printed Horae; and a truly marvellous collection of original manuscripts, autograph letters and first editions of Robert Louis Stevenson."
