Excerpt from Fruit Among the Leaves: An Anniversary Anthology; Edited With an Historical Introduction Tribulations of an Editor William Webster Ellsworth wrote The Golden Age of Authors Richard Watson Gilder's Letters have been edited by his daughter The Grolier Club's me morial tribute to Theodore Low de Vinne (1929) contributed some information. Mr. Melcher's library and files have been as useful for The Century Company as for the House of Appleton I have exam ined many of the Company's authors' contracts. The Century Col lection in the manuscript department of the New York Public Library, deposited there about thirty years ago and now owned by the Library, consists of more than two hundred cases of original letters, transcripts, memoranda, and other documents, amounting altogether to several thousand items. The charred and water-stained condition of some of these is a reminder of the fire in the Company's offices in July, 1888, when some files of documents were destroyed how many is not now known. A more serious loss came from the dis persal at auction of hundreds of letters. F. L. Mott's History of American Magazines, 1865-1885 (1988) has provided some information about both Appleton and Century periodicals.
