Formerly owned by William Durrant Cooper. Purchased from Paul Grinke on the Edwin J. Beinecke Book Fund, 1972., John Hall-Stevenson (1718-1785), was a poet, a country gentleman, and a close friend of Laurence Sterne, whom he met at Cambridge and who based the character of Eugenius in Tristram Shandy on him. Hall-Stevenson founded a club of "Demoniacks," which met at "Crazy Castle," his country seat, and was loosely modeled on Sir Francis Dashwood's Monks of Medmenham. His published works included Crazy Tales and Fables for Grown Gentlemen, both of which were reprinted several times during his lifetime. He died at home in March, 1785., and The collection also contains a photocopy of W. Durrant Cooper's "Seven Letters Written by Sterne and His Friends;" a copy of the bookseller's catalogue; and a handwritten finding aid for the collection.
