THE ROBERT A. MELLO COLLECTION

Vermont has a long record of collecting state and local history and the Americana associated the Green Mountain State. Beginning with Henry Stevens, Sr. (1791-1867), co-founder of the Vermont Historical Society, the nineteenth century saw such avid bibliophiles as Chauncy Kilborn Williams (1832-1879), Lucius E. Chittenden (1824-1900) and Henry Sheldon (18212-1907) build extensive personal libraries of antiquarian Vermontiana. Marcus D. Gilman (1820-1889) created the essential reference tool for Vermont collectors in his 1897 Bibliography of Vermont. In the twentieth century, the ranks of accomplished Vermont enthusiasts included James B. Wilbur (1856-1929), Harold Goddard Rugg (1883-1957), Hall Park McCullough (1872-1966), John Spargo (1876-1966), and George A. Russell (1879-1968). Gertrude R. Mallary (1903-2002) owned the finest Vermont library ever assembled by a woman and one of the most impressive ever. The disposition of these collections—donated or bequeathed to Vermont libraries and cultural heritage institutions, sold at auction, dispersed or conveyed to the next generation of Green Mountain bibliophiles—kept alive the distinctive tradition of respect for the books, pamphlets, maps, broadsides, prints, and manuscripts that make up the tapestry to Vermont’s heritage.

Collecting Vermontiana has continued at a high level in the twenty-first century. The Robert A. Mello Collection is one of the best of our time, and William L. Parkinson, Books is proud to serve as auctioneer for it. Judge Mello has brought a broad scholarly knowledge of Vermont history, a keen eye for quality and rarity, and a true bibliophile’s passion to his collecting over the past three decades, and the results are ample evidence. Readers of this catalogue will see that it contains the outstanding Vermont books and pamphlets from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, along with an enticing array of early Vermont maps, broadsides, manuscripts, and prints. There are also American and European rarities on the colonial wars of the eighteenth century, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and other national and international events and conflicts that touched on Vermont. The individual parts are noteworthy and the whole is remarkable. Based on a combined 90+ years’ experience in the Green Mountain antiquarian field, we are confident that the Mello Collection is the finest Vermontiana library to come to auction in more than two decades. Vermont, American and Canadian collectors, curators and dealers will find much of interest in this catalogue.

We are pleased to note that Judge Mello is donating 25% of his net return from this auction to the University of Vermont’s Center for Research on Vermont. Those interested in the Center, now in its 50^th year of service to Vermont and Vermonters, should visit https://www.uvm.edu/cas/vermontresearch to learn more about CRVT and its work.
