JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND
Signed sentiment from the editor of Scribner's Monthly
Autograph sentiment signed: "I am/yours very truly/J.G.
Holland", 3¾x2¼ 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. Lightly toned around edges. Lightly creased.
