On June 1, 1918. he was commissioned second-lieutenant, and in August of that year was promoted to captain. A little later he was appointed camp adjutant, and on June 1, 1919, was promoted to major. He was stationed at Trieste, on the allied re-adjustment board, and was mustered out of service October 23, 1919, and received his honorable discharge with the rank of major. He then returned to Cincinnati, where he is now acting as president of the Ex-service Men's Co-operate Association. On June 20, 1918, Major Long was united in marriage with Miss Amelia Herrmann, of Cincinnati, a daughter of Frank and Carrie Herrmann, and they reside at 2207 Rice street, Cincinnati. Horatio L. Buckingham, a farmer of Camp Dennison, Ohio, was born in Symmes township, Hamilton county, Ohio, April 26, 1868, son of Albert G. and Jennie (Doyle) Buckingham, the former of whom was born in the same township as his son, and the latter at Columbus, Ohio. The Buckinghams, as the name implies, are of English origin, and trace their name to an important English county, a dukedom, and Buckingham palace. The name is a place name, having been spelled Buck or Buch-ing-field or ham, meaning "little village." The Buckinghams immigrated to the United States in 1637, and settled in Pennsylvania. They have had their share of able and successful men: governors of states, lawyers and orators, but they have with few exceptions, during the past four generations, devoted themselves to agriculture on the tracts of land purchase by the first members of the family. Enoch Jeffries Buckingham and his brother, Levi, came to Ohio in 1790, and were located for a time at Columbia....

In most college and university libraries, materials published before 1800 have been moved into special collections, while the post-1923 books remain in general circulation. But books published between these dates are vulnerable to deaccessioning, as libraries increasingly reconfigure access to public-domain texts via digital repositories such as Google Books. Even libraries with strong commitments to their print collections are clearing out the duplicates, assuming that circulating copies of any given nineteenth-century edition are essentially identical to one another. When you look closely, however, you see that they are not. Many nineteenth-century books were donated by alumni or their families decades ago, and many of them bear traces left behind by the people who first owned and used them. In Book Traces, Andrew M. Stauffer adopts what he calls "guided serendipity" as a tactic in pursuit of two goals: first, to read nineteenth-century poetry through the clues and objects earlier readers left in their books and, second, to defend the value of keeping the physical volumes on the shelves. Finding in such books of poetry the inscriptions, annotations, and insertions made by their original owners, and using them as exemplary case studies, Stauffer shows how the physical, historical book enables a modern reader to encounter poetry through the eyes of someone for whom it was personal.

This annotated bibliography constitutes a thoroughly revised and more easily readable study of Behn's publications, of those edited or translated by her, of publications that included her works, and of writings ascribed to her, along with an annotated bibliography of over 1600 works about her from 1671 to 2001, with an unannotated update covering 2002. The augmented primary bibliography describes all known editions and issues of her works to 1702, and adds a catalogue of editions to 2002, including on-line sources. The secondary bibliography adds close to 1000 items published since 1984 to the original 600 of the first edition along with about 175 more from 1671 to 1984, with attention to materials not in English. New appendices include a list of dedicatees, actors, recent productions (with reviews), and provenances. This volume will be invaluable for book dealers, collectors and librarians, as well as students and scholars of Aphra Behn and of Restoration literature.
