[Letter] 1896 February 28, New Haven, Connecticut [to] Professor W.H. Chandler / W.J. Linton.

About this Paged Content

Chandler was a chemistry professor at Lehigh.
Linton reminds Chandler that he agreed to take Linton's book of poems, pointing out that Chandler did not stipulate whether they would be for his use or for Lehigh University's. Either way, Linton says he will send them. A literary historian, wood-engraver, poet, and political reformer, Linton began his career producing engravings for London periodicals like _The Illustrated London News_ and marrying the novelist Eliza Lynn. Relocating to America in the 1860s, Linton produced engravings for American periodicals like _Scribner's_ and taught his craft. In the late 1870s he established Appledore Press in New Haven and began publishing limited editions including his own _Love Lore_ (1887) which a pencil note on the verso indicates is the volume referred to in this letter. Among his many works are a biography of Whittier and a review: _Darwin's Probabilities_ (1896); both Whittier and Darwin are represented in the collection as well.
