‎"There can be no more moving appeal to the imagination than a collaection of autographs.Whereas the printed page ,with its cold formality,masks the author's individuality,his handwriting is almost apart of himself.It is an instrument equalled only by the voice in its power to reveal the strongest emotions and most secret thoughts.Mementoes of a glorious or tragic past,such documents,stirring in their power to awaken a remembrance of things past,call up before our wondering eyes,the mighty pageants of history. ‎
