years by Mr.. Crimmins as second sec
rotary, his especial duties being the
care of the large and valuable library
of Mr.. Crimmins and the arrangement
of autograph letters.
One book which Mr.. Crimmins espe-
cially priced was Smiths History of
Virginia" This volume was dated
1927, and after it came into Mr.. Grim
Minis possession he had it handsomely
rebound, with insertions of plates
dated 1921. In this respect it was
unique. there being no other copy like
it. This was offered to a dealer for
5000.
Mr.. Crimmins had missed especially
also three volumes of the first edition
of Shelley, issued from the Kelmscott
press, an early edition of Milton in two
volumes. and some rare autograph let
tiers. Among the latter was letter of
George Washington, written at Valley
Forge, autograph letters of Robert

Inns and Charles Dickens, and some
valuable letters of Thomas Moore.
