Dear John, Thanks. That is a wonderful old piece that I haven't read in years, and ought to get back to. As I recall Wegelin remembers seeing HM wandering about in bookstores. yrs, John ___________ John Bryant, English Department, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549 >>> [log in to unmask] 07/09/07 2:39 PM >>> John: I do not know if this citation is of any use to you regarding Melville, but reading your post reminded me of an article I read by Oscar Wegelin published in The Colophon. It is a collection of small reminiscences of Melville 1890 until his death and about his wife and the sale of his library after his death. See Wegelin, Oscar, "Herman Melville As I recall Him," The Colophon, New Series, Volume i, No. 1, Summer (1935) : 21-24.
