Book Description
Horner's life is documented through his diaries, correspondence, financial and official papers. The collection begins with schoolboy notes from Warrenton Academy, Fauquier County, and medical notebooks from studies at the University of Pennsylvania. In journals from his career as ship surgeon and eventually fleet surgeon he gives detailed accounts of voyages and ports visited, particularly in South America and the Caribbean, and supplements them with amateur sketches and maps. Of great interest are his medical reports as surgeon to the East Gulf Blockading Squadron including requisitions, receipts and sick reports. Among his naval papers are notes for an article on an 1862 yellow fever epidemic, reports as surgeon in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and correspondence regarding his book Medical topography of Brazil and Uruguay and regarding the selection of naval physicians by the Naval Board of Medical Examiners. Financial accounts, journals and correspondence with family, friends and farm tenants in his personal papers give an excellent account of life in Philadelphia and the family farm in Warrenton, Fauqier Co. where he eventually retired. Of great interest are a catalog of his library, descriptions of the building of a Catholic Church in Warrenton, and of a lynching in 1880, and duplicate minutes of the Fauquier County Historical Society, 1915-20.

Book Description
For the first time, novelist Iris Murdoch's life in her own words, from girlhood to her last years Iris Murdoch was an acclaimed novelist and groundbreaking philosopher whose life reflected her unconventional beliefs and values. But what has been missing from biographical accounts has been Murdoch's own voice—her life in her own words. Living on Paper—the first major collection of Murdoch's most compelling and interesting personal letters—gives, for the first time, a rounded self-portrait of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers and thinkers. With more than 760 letters, fewer than forty of which have been published before, the book provides a unique chronicle of Murdoch's life from her days as a schoolgirl to her last years. The result is the most important book about Murdoch in more than a decade. The letters show a great mind at work—struggling with philosophical problems, trying to bring a difficult novel together, exploring spirituality, and responding pointedly to world events. They also reveal her personal life, the subject of much speculation, in all its complexity, especially in letters to lovers or close friends, such as the writers Brigid Brophy, Elias Canetti, and Raymond Queneau, philosophers Michael Oakeshott and Philippa Foot, and mathematician Georg Kreisel. We witness Murdoch's emotional hunger, her tendency to live on the edge of what was socially acceptable, and her irreverence and sharp sense of humor. We also learn how her private life fed into the plots and characters of her novels, despite her claims that they were not drawn from reality. Direct and intimate, these letters bring us closer than ever before to Iris Murdoch as a person, making for an extraordinary reading experience.
