While _Mark Twain's Letters to His Publishers_ deals extensively with _Library of American Literature_ and much of its background -- it is lacking on critical review of material contained in the volumes. While _Libary_ was apparently a collection that sold well, the company did not have the assets to keep up the production. But no mention of what works were contained within the volumes or who the former Cincinatti publisher may have been who also went bankrupt trying to publish it. Henry Rogers seems to have been the only person who could afford to undertake the project. Barb
