It is strange how far manuscripts and other literary documents often wander from the place of their source but it is more remarkable when, in the course of their peregrinations, they eventually arrive at the place where they properly belong. One instance of this, however, is to be found in a manuscript which has just been acquired by the Grolier Book Shop and which is on exhibition there. This is none other than the original manuscript of "Streets of Night," a novel by John Dos Passos '16.

Not only is the story the work of a Harvard man but the scene of the story is laid at Harvard before the war. Dos Passos has of recent years taken place in the first rank of American writers with his volumes "Manhattan Transfer" and "Orient Express" as well as his play "The Garbage Man," produced in the spring of 1925 by the Harvard Dramatic Club under the title of "The Moon is a Gong." He first won fame with his great war novel "Three Soldiers."

"Streets of Night" traces the development of two Harvard undergraduates from the time they entered college until their graduation. The manuscript, which is typewritten, was evidently written by Mr. Dos Passos during his travels as parts of it are dated from such remote places as Beirut, Syria. It is on 214 large sheets and contains many corrections in the author's autograph which show painstaking revision. If one judges from the other markings on the sheets, the printed book itself was set up from them.

Among the products of the tabloid age is M.K. Wisehart's "THE KISS" (The Century Co., New York. 1928. $2.00). It is a long story taking up over 400 pages, but while the impression it leaves is one of utter trash, it is a highly readable book.
