Monumental Brasses: In
1913 an anonymous donor presented to the university his collection of
books, serials, and miscellanies relating to the history and recording
of monumental brasses primarily in England. The collection was put
together over twenty years, mainly for the sake of the illustrations.
It contains 130 items: books, pamphlets, notebooks, and offprints. Of
particular interest are the publications of the Oxford University
Brass-Rubbing [later, Antiquarian] Society and the folio volumes
published by the Monumental Brass Society. Most of the material is
uncatalogued, but there is a bibliography of the collection in the Rare
Books and Special Collections Department.
The Richard N. Foley Collection:
Professor Foley gave to the University a virtually complete collection
(200 volumes) of American and British first editions of the works of
Henry James, supported by works of criticism. In addition, he donated
over 1,400 first or limited editions of early twentieth century poetry
and plays by authors such as Marianne Moore, Ezra Pound, W.H.Auden, e e
cummings, T.S. Eliot and William Carlos Williams.
