  (Libri, M.) Libri, Guglielmo REPONSE DE M. LIBRI AU RAPPORT DE M. BOUCLY PUBLIE DANS LE MONITEUR UNIVERSEL DU 19 MARS 1848.
Paris Chez tous les Libraires 1848 8vo. original paper wrappers. 115 pages
St. Bride catalogue p.547. Libri was an intelligent young Florentine nobleman who obtained his University degree at an early age. He left Italy for France in 1832 because of political problems and soon developed an excellent reputation as a scholar and bibliophile. In 1841 he was appointed secretary to a commission to inventory the manuscripts in the libraries of France. During his tenure he stole a huge collection of manuscripts which he eventually sold through a series of catalogues. This booklet is his attempt to answer charges levied against him. Covers spotted and laid down on paper. Chipped.

  (Lilly, Josiah K.) FOSTER HALL BULLETIN
N.P. n.p. 1931-1940 tall 4to. cloth (190) pages
The complete run of this early periodical issued by Josiah K. Lilly. The first few bulletins are little more than typed lists of titles of first editions that Josiah K. Lilly was prepared to purchase to complete his collection of the mid-nineteenth-century song-writer Stephen Collins Foster's sheet music. Later editions include information about the status of the collection, "Foster Hall Chatter" with updates on the staff and events, portraits of Foster and his family and collaborators, and facsimiles of title pages, sheet music and hand-written lyrics and correspondence. The stated objective of compiling this collection was "to have in America, in permanent form, as complete date as possible concerning the life and work of Stephen Collins Foster, to belong to the people of these United States and to be made available in perpetuity for view or study by anyone interested in the subject." Lilly later founded the Lilly Library at Indiana University, which now houses about 400,000 books, more than 100,000 pieces of sheet music, and more than 6.5 million manuscripts. However, the Foster collection is no longer housed in Indiana. Issue ten of the Foster Hall Bulletin introduces plans for the new facility being constructed to house the collection in the Stephen C. Foster Memorial Building at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which was transferred on December 30, 1936. This was a particularly appropriate location for the collection, as Foster spent most of his career writing songs in Pittsburgh. Foster's musical hits include old standards such as "Oh! Susanna." He had made it his business to study the various music and poetic styles circulating in the immigrant populations of the new United States. His intention was to write the people's music, using images and a musical vocabulary that would be widely understood by all groups. Foster sought to humanize the characters in his songs, to have them care for one another, and to convey a sense that all people--regardless of their ethnic identities or social and economic class--share the same longings and needs for family and home. He instructed white performers of his songs not to mock slaves but to get their audiences to feel compassion for them. Stephen Foster was a man with a mission, to reform black-face minstrelsy, then the most pervasive and powerful force in American popular culture. Ex-library copy with markings. Covers scuffed.
