Schuster's interest in the letters of men equaled his interest in men of letters; he began collecting them in 1915. 563 pgs in 2 parts: I, Letters of Long Ago (334 BC - AD 1675); and II, Letters of Not So Long Ago (1747 -1896.

May we trust, today, that the art will survive Emails and Twitters. 563 pgs in 3 parts: Part I, Letters of Long Ago (334 B.C. to 1675); II, Letters of Not So Long Ago (1747 to 1896); and III, Letters of Yesterday & Today (1898 to 1937), supplemented w/Classification of Letters by Subject Fine copy with lesser dustjacket.
