Steiner (1840-1906), a Georgia physician, planter, folklorist, and amateur archaeologist, whose excavation of the Etowah mounds near Macon, Georgia, form the core of the largest collection of artifacts from a single individual to have been donated to the Smithsonian ; with his bookplate ; "During the latter half of the 19th century and into the early part of the 20th century, Roland collected a massive quantity of prehistoric artifacts from areas throughout Georgia; including Mound C at the Etowah Mound site near Cartersville, Georgia and sites in Burke, Columbia, Floyd, Hancock, and several other counties. He became a member of the Georgia Historical Society on July 7, 1886, the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1899 and the Society of American Folklore in the same year. In his lifetime, Roland collected more than 100,000 Native American relics from Georgia and South Carolina. Throughout the 1890s and early part of the 1910s, Steiner sent approximately 78,000 artifacts including copper axes, copper headdresses, conch shell cups and gorgets, pearl beads, pottery vessels, pottery statuettes, and other artifacts made of polished and chipped stone to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. His private collection at the Smithsonian is the largest private collection in the museum. Steiner also has collection of artifacts located at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, New York and the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois." ; "Dr. Steiner has been, for about three years, at intervals, making deposits of aboriginal implements and objects in the National Museum. His collection amounts now to approximately 75,000 objects. They have been gathered by him in eastern Georgia, principally in Columbia and Burke Counties, though there is a very important collection made by himself from the Etowah Mounds in Bartow County.Not the least inconsiderable portion of Dr. Steiner's collection, nor that of least value, is the result of his own excavation at the Etowah Mounds or, as they have been known, the Tumlin Mounds on the plantation of Col. Tumlin, Etowah Creek, Bartow County. These are probably the most renowned mounds of which we know, and have produced the rarest and most curious objects. It appears to me of the highest necessity that we should retain the objects from this mound that belong to Dr. Steiner, to the end that they may supplement the collection of Prof. Thomas. I would consider it almost an irreparable loss, one not to be calculated in dollars and cents, if the objects belonging to Dr. Steiner should be taken away and the collection from the Etowah Mound broken up. The purchase of this collection from Dr. Steiner will materially facilitate the complete excavation of the Etowah Mounds and insure to the Museum the possession of their riches in its entirety."--Thomas Wilson, Curator, Division of Prehistoric Anthropology, January 19, 1898. ; contributors included Nicasio Juan Gallego (1777-1853), Francisco Maria Raynouard, Taver John Nicols, Marie-Charles-Joseph Pougens (1755-1833), Jacob Pontusson De la Gardie, Robert Southey (1774-1843), Guy Arnault, Felix Torres Amat (1772-1857), Joseph del Castillo, Jose Maria Zuaznavar y Fracia, Alberto Rodríguez de Lista y Aragón (1775-1848), Romanillos Benito Ortega, Manuel López Cepero y Ardila (1778-1858), and others ; G, scarce.

3pp., 12mo. 55 lines, neatly and closely written. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed to 'Mr W. Shoberl.' An excellent letter, giving an experienced and knowledgable view of the state of the mid-Victorian British booktrade. Redding begins by stating that he is 'indeed concerned to hear the statement' Shoberl has communicated to him. He wishes it was in his power to forward Shoberl's wishes. 'The Downward tendency of our present literature and its continued deterioration by the utter disregard for any thing on the part of the public but that which any body may do, with the continual competition as to price among the booksellers, have utterly destroyed authorship. The American looks to costing nothing for copyright, reprinted here as of English authorship reduce the chances of obtaining employment very low indeed. I feel the times too much myself not to sympathise with others. There is not a boarding school girl whose diatribes do not ascend in the market, better than those of an educated person who has had long experience. The prospect is gloomy enough', and Redding cannot help him. 'I have no business connections out of the old way, and so far from finding my present cause a prosperous one I look to the future with apprehension. My life with 50 years of adventures is nearly ready, but I almost despair of doing any thing with it, though I have records of so many well known characters to display.' Redding remembers Shoberl's father well, 'and when you speak of friends gone off the stage of existence I can assure you I feel the same'. In the final paragraph he again expresses a desire to assist Shoberl if he can, and he expresses a hope 'that things may soon take a turn' with him. Shoberl did gain employment in the book trade, first as assistant to the London publisher Henry Colburn, and then as a publisher in his own right.

3pp., 16mo. Bifolium. On aged and foxed paper. He wishes to be informed 'whether the Forget Me Not" so long and ably edited by your Father will be published for the ensuing year - i.e. for 1848'. One of his daughters has 'written down Stories one or two of which have already appeared, and she would be very happy to avail herself of an opportunity of writing something' for the annual, so he asks him to 'ascertain whether your Father would like to insert a short Nouvellette [sic] to the extent of 4 to 5 pages'. The subject is presumably Roscoe's daughter Jane Elizabeth St John (1829-1906) was generally known as Mrs. Horace Roscoe St John, author of 'Audubon the Naturalist' (1856), 'Englishwomen and the Age' (1860), a pamphlet on the condition of women, and two historical works, 'Masaniello of Naples' (1865) and 'The Court of Anna Carafa' (1872).

22 x 15cm. 4 pages, written on one side, with integral address panel, postmark and wax seal. The librettist and first translator into Italian of the famous historical novels Ivanhoe and Kenilworth by W. Scott, directed to his colleague Luigi Toccagni, on Literary matters. "You will do me a favour if you give the bearer what (.) my manuscript that you have in your hands. After all, because do not think me an incorrigible unrepentant, the memory of that Valsà who unfortunately ends a verse of my Joan of Arc. He tempers on the horror of my guilt that there Valsà was anything but idle at the situation of a descendant of the Valois and Louis IX, father of the French people, stripped of his throne by his own mother, to place an Englishwoman".
