This 308-page annual belonged to freshman Carl "Red" McCloud and includes notations, including one signed S. L. (Senator) Smoot, Winchester, Virginia.

I did find a Senator Reed Smoot from Utah who was in office from 1903 to 1933. The Colonial Echo 1922 was published by the students of the College of William and Mary. Some pages have pulled some from the binding but there are no pages that are completely loose. Some browning and smudging. No brittle pages.

This rare find has been in my private collection for years. I purchased it out of an estate in Atlanta in the late 1980s and have never seen anything quite like it since. The book is dated 1883 and is 9 1/2" by 12". It's hard backed and has 330 pages, not including a delightful advertising section at the end. To begin, the book is wonderfully illustrated from its front cover to the Victorian graphics at the end. The cover is blue with gold gilt in a detailed raised design. The busy designs repeat with a sunburst design across the top and a gold illustrated woman in proper Victorian attire. Across the cover is the following: GALAXY OF SONG. Popular Songs & their Composers FAVORITE VOCALISTS & WELL KNOWN CONDUCTORS When you turn to the title page, it is also marked "GALAXY OF SONG". Underneath that is "POPULAR SONGS, WITH COMPLETE ACCOMPANIMENTS FOR THE PIANO OR CABINET ORGAN AND THEIR COMPOSERS." Under that is "FAVORITE VOCALISTS AND WELL-KNOWN CONDUCTORS." Then is a small graphic logo of a little dog (bulldog I think), then "COPYRIGHT,1883, BY THOS. HUNTER." The book is a treasure trove of late Victorian songs and biographies of their composers. Each songwriter has an incredible stone lithographed portrait, followed by a section of bigraphical sketches, then the actual songs and music. The portraits are of a quality suitable for framing, but I feel that to tear up the book would be a sin. They are highly detailed stone lithographs and are only done on one side of the paper. The book starts with portraits of the women of this era. There are about 64 in all, about half of them women. The first page shows a picture of Adelina Patti along with a newspaper clipping about her. There are so many wonderful illustrations, I will list as many as I can. Included composers: Adelina Patticenter Christine Nilsson Etelka Gerster Sofia Scalchi Annie Louise Cary Eugenie Pappenheim Clara Louise Kellogg Pauline Lucca Lillian Russell Other names include Abbott, Winston, Sembrich, Roze, Thursby, Albani, Hauk, Valleria, Trebelli, Van Zandt, Osgood, Glenn, Geistinger, Winant, Beebe, Aimee, Juch, Campanini, Whitney, Santley, Henschel, Galassi, Capoul, Carleton, Karl, Zerrahn, Thomas, Damrosch, Rosa, Arditi, Gilmore, Gounod, Gabriel, Sainton-Dolby, Sullivan, Faure, Pinsuti, Abt, Blumenthal, Randegger, Cowen, Wellings, Buck, Tosti, Molloy, Gatty, Roeckel, Diehl, Mattei, Adams, Barri, Hatton, Sudds, Geibel, and Huntley. Following are arrangements for about 120 wonderful old songs after bigraphical sketches of each composer. The book is simply incredible! I've never seen such a grouping of women like this, or composers for that matter. It's in remarkable condition for its age, though it does show wear. The edges are worn but the graphics are still vibrant and unfaded. Many of the pages are coming away from its binding also, and there's a place where the newspaper clipping and pin have turned the page dark. With about 64 illustrations and over a 100 songs, this rare item is sure to excite the serious collector!   Coping with Difficult People ... In Business and In Life Robert M. Bramson, Ph.D Do you know any of these people?? Hostile / Agressives - They bully, throw tantrums, and generally overwhelm. Compliners - They always whine but never change what they whine about.

A very early Book entitled "Record of Crimes in the United States" Containing A Brief Sketch of Prominent Traits in the Character and Conduct of Many of the Most Notorious Male Factors, Who Have Been Guilty of Capital Offences; and Who Have Been Detected and Convicted. Compiled from the Best Authorities. Book was published in Buffalo by H. Faxon & Co., Charles Faxon, Printer dated 1833. 3rd and 4th photos provide the Contents of Book listing the criminals. There is no photos or illustrations in the Book, just 357 pages of literature. Book measurements are about 7 1/2 x 4 1/2". As you can see in the photos, the pages throughout have brown spotting but print is still clear and legible. Book has also been neatly rebound with tape and the first few page from within have been neatly taped (clear tape) as well. Considering the Book is about 175 years old I believe it to be in fair/good condition.

Others may be from the same area or perhaps New York. I believe these Programs are all the 1950's era perhaps early 60's. For the most part they appear to be in very good condition. One of the South Pacific's has a bent upper right corner and is slight coming loose from spine. Would make a nice addition to your Entertainment Souvenir Program collection.
