...Roosevelt's Page," a feature of Crowell Publishing Co.'s sturdy Woman's Home Companion for two years from August 1933 to July 1935.* Last autumn, Mrs. Roosevelt began dictating her autobiography, carried it up to the Democratic National Convention of 1924, showed the manuscript to Franklin Roosevelt when it was done. The President suggested no changes, and Mrs. Roosevelt's dapper literary agent, George T. Bye, made the sale not to Crowell's Companion but to Curtis Publishing Co.'s Home Journal. Proceeds of Mrs. Roosevelt's writing and broadcasting have hitherto...
Miss Lowell's first poem, "Chicago," written at the age of nine, following a visit to that city in 1883, is shown in the original manuscript, pencilled in a small, childishly smudged journal...
...Tour to the Hebrides" are nearly as old as the tour itself, but until 1936 they have been shot through with omissions and corrections by non-Boswellian hands. Lying away in the grey dust of an old eroquet-box in Malahide Castle for over 150 years the original manuscript in Boswell's handwriting was accidentally bumped into a few years ago.

This is a long manuscript, about which lurid literary legends are steadily accumulating. It now reposes in the safe of Publishers Harcourt and Brace and is not to be published in its entirety until Mabel Dodge Luhan has been dead for 25 years. Meanwhile with each publication the author's selections from her memories...
...attics and among the heirlooms of the earth, historical manuscripts lie hidden like nuggets in the coarse ore of family possessions. They seem to be everywhere except where a scholar might be expected to look for them. Thus Caulaincourt's great memoir of Napoleon (TIME, Dec. 2) turned up in the wall of an old chateau; the manuscript of Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides was found in an old croquet box. A valuable pack of the letters of Vincent van Gogh was located in the belongings of a family in Winter Park...
