There are cowboys and indians - Buffalo Bill' and Sitting Bull; and there are representatives of the world of more unusual entertainment - Houdini, Blondin, and 'Grock'. Portions of the MSS of several great English literary works such as Alice in Wonderland, Grey's Elegy and Jane Eyre are included as are holograph extracts from the works of continental and American writers from Boccaccio and Goethe to Nabokov. The world of music is also represented by numerous excerpts from handwritten scores by composers from Palastrina to Stravinsky.
