Sender: Guillotin, Joseph Ignace
Recipient: -
Letters: 1
Date(s): 30 Mar 1893
Location: BC Misc. Letters 2
Note: In French. A document of the Bureau du Domaine National du Department de la Seine, adjudicating in the matter of the sale of a property in Paris. There are 2 signatories: Le Courueru, about whom nothing, it seems, is known, and Guillotin, who is probably the doctor and famous Parliamentarian who gave his name to the guillotine. He became associated with it because of his campaign for a more merciful method of execution of criminals and was nearly a victim of it when he himself fell under suspicion. His judgement was in demand on many matters and he instigated some notable reforms. In his later years he worked for the improvement of medicine.
Sender: Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Recipient: Gosse, Edmund
Letters: 10
Date(s): 7 Sep 1884 - 27 Nov 1890
Location: BC Gosse correspondence
Note: Oliver Wendell Holmes studied medicine at Harvard College and took the degree of M.D. in 1836. For years he contributed poems, essays and sketches to various newspapers and periodicals. In 1847 he was appointed Professor of Anatomy at Harvard, a positon he retained for thirty-five years. When "The Atlantic Monthly" was started in 1857 "The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table" began to appear, commencing in the first year of the journal's existence. Rarely have magazine articles attained such marvellous popularity. The keen psychological insight, the catholicity and depth of human sympathy displayed in them, the genial humour and the sparkling wit, the spontaniety of pathos and the lofty scorn of wrong and injustice, were unsurpassed in the literature of their time and place. Thanks for congratulation; appointment to meet at Boston, thanks for a volume of poems; hopes to visit Gosse's College and University; meeting at Cambridge; attending a dinner with the Chancellor of the Exchequer;
thanks for congratulations on his birthday, 1890.
