These pamphlets are arranged alphabetically by author, title, or topic,

chronologically thereafter. They reflect Cyril Clemens's wide-ranging interests in the

Catholic religion, politics, travel, and literature. Included are many items related to

St. Louis, such as: souvenirs of the Academy of the Visitation and the Carmelite

Convent; the Art Exhibit of Fashion for 1882; reproductions of O.E. Berninghaus's

historical paintings executed for Anheuser-Busch Brewery; a monograph on religious

painter and Saint Louis University graduate C. Bosseron Chambers; D.M. Frost's published

letter to General Sterling Price defending himself against the charge of desertion from

the Confederate Army; an account of the cyclone of 1896; Mary Hirschberg's work on

Richard Graham of Hazelwood; Oliver Parks's diary Flight to Destiny, which recounts John

Cardinal Glennon's last trip to Rome and his death; the history of The Round Table

Restaurant; a description of the St. Louis Exposition of 1888; and the membership list

of the Society of St. Louis Authors. There is also much information on George

Washington, tourist and historic sites in Missouri, Mark Twain, and the latter's town of

Hannibal, Missouri. Among several autographs are those of Edna Ferber, William H. and

Robert Taft, and John G. Tower.
