JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND
The editor of Scribner's Monthly pens a short note to his, "unknown
friend."
Autograph note signed:" I am,/My unknown friend/yours very
truly/J.G. Holland", 3½x2 card. Josiah Gilbert Holland (1819-1881) is
the author of Arthur Bonnicastle, The Story of
Sevenoaks and Nicholas Mintum, among many others. From
its founding in 1869 to the end of his life, Holland partnered with Charles
Scribner as the editor of the famous Scribner's Monthly. The
beginning of Holland's career was troubled with business misadventures,
unsuccessfully running his own periodical and medical practice before finding
employment as a teacher. Yet once he gave up his medical practice and returned
to West Massachusetts, his luck changed for him. The 1870's was a productive
decade for Holland, who published his most famous novels during that time,
including The Mistress and the Manse (1874). His last novel,
The Puritan's Guest (1881) was published the year he died. Toned,
lightly soiled. Adhesive residue at corners and on verso. Otherwise, fine
condition.
