Burton-Smithers Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Purchased from William K. Bixby, 1918. Processing/Project Information 1. The material in this purchase originally consisted of two bound volumes: one volume of autograph letters from the Burtons to Leonard Smithers, and, the other, an autograph manuscript by Richard F. Burton, Four Lectures: The Visitation to El Medinah. The volume of lectures was cataloged in the 1950s, and given the call number HM 27955; and, at the same time, the volume of letters was disbound but not cataloged. It was decided to now catalog the letters in an effort to catalog all of the Burton material currently in the manuscript collections. 2. Because almost the entire collection is about the publication of Burton s works at the end of his life, it was decided not to subject index these works individually unless substantive. Biographical Note Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890), was a British explorer, linguist, writer, diplomat and translator. He explored Africa, the Middle East, South America and Iceland, and translated, among many other titles, The Arabian Nights. Burton married Isabel Arundell (1831-1896), in 1861, and she, thereafter, accompanied Burton on many of his travels, and became his amanuensis and editor, as well as publishing her own travel volumes and an autobiography. Burton died of a heart attack on October 19, 1890, and Isabel Burton died from complications of ovarian cancer on March 22, 1896. Leonard Charles Smithers (1861-1907), was a British solicitor, antiquarian bookseller and publisher of works of erotica and supporter of avant-garde authors and their works. Scope and Content This collection consists mainly of letters from Isabel Burton (1831-1896) and her husband, British explorer and writer Richard Burton (1821-1890), to their friend London publisher Leonard Charles Smithers (1861-1907) from 1885 to 1892 1.

This box also includes a draft manuscript by Isabel Burton offering a pious memento in return for prayers for Richard Burton s release from purgatory and a printed prospectus for Burton s Arabian Nights. msshm 27955, msshm 78887-79014 2
