GROLIER CLUB MEDALS 

   Last week's announcement of the Grolier Club exhibit of 
   numismatic literature brought these responses: 

   Joe Levine writes: "Your readership may be interested to 
   know the following: The Grolier Club issued a number of 
   art plaques honoring famous American  writers.  These are 
   large, well-executed cast pieces honoring 

   Nathaniel Hawthorne by Ringel DiIllzach (1892) 
   James Russell Lowell by Charles Calverley (1895) 
   Edgar Allen Poe by Edith Woodman Burroughs (1909) 
   Henry Wadsworth Longfellow by John Flanagan (1911) 
   Ralph Waldo Emerson by Victor D. Brenner (1911)." 

   Dave Bowers writes: "It is a crying shame that the Grolier Club 
   exhibit seems to IGNORE  (or at least you don't mention it 
   in your blurb) AMERICAN numismatic literature.  The Grolier 
   Club is at once impressive and traditional, and even a "side 
   display" of American numismatic literature would have been 
   beneficial.  Perhaps it is not too late to include such, especially 
   since the AMERICAN Numismatic Society seems to be 
   involved!"
