Title A name given to the resource George Burgess Magrath Library of Legal Medicine Description An account of the resource In the 1920s, New England heiress Frances Glessner Lee (d. 1962) became fascinated with the colorful crime-solving career of George Burgess Magrath (1870-1938), the medical examiner for Suffolk County and an instructor in legal medicine at Harvard Medical School. Mrs. Lee contributed funds to endow a professorship in legal medicine, a visiting lectureship, and a fellowship program and also crafted the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death—a series of miniature crime scenes for student analysis. In 1933, she made an additional gift to establish the George Burgess Magrath Library of Legal Medicine and, as its honorary curator, continued to acquire and donate rare books and manuscripts in legal medicine and medical jurisprudence. By 1964, the Magrath Library held some 3,700 volumes, and when its holdings were transferred to the Countway Library, legal medicine and jurisprudence became significant subject strengths of the collection. Highlights of the Magrath Library include rare trial accounts, works on criminology, toxicology, and poisoning, including a 15th century manuscript of Petrus de Abano’s De venenis, and a collection of unique material concerning Charles Guiteau, the assassin of President James A. Garfield, including poems written by Guiteau while in prison, his own copy of his autobiographical work The truth and the removal, and the diary of his spiritual counselor, William Watkin Hicks.

Title A name given to the resource The truth and the removal Subject The topic of the resource Guiteau, Charles J. (Charles Julius), 1841-1882 Title pages Autobiography Garfield, James A. (James Abram), 1831-1881 Assassination Description An account of the resource The truth and the removal is Charles Guiteau’s autobiographical defense of his assassination of James A. Garfield and an account of his own trial, written while he was in prison and awaiting execution. This is Guiteau’s own copy, and it was recently digitized as part of the Medical Heritage Library project. Guiteau said, “My book, The truth and the removal … will enable a competent historian to write my life & work accurately. My theological views will probably attract more permanent attention than anything else connected with my life.” Charles Guiteau presented this volume along with some of his manuscript poems to William Watkin Hicks the night before his execution. Hicks recorded, “In doing so, he expressed gratitude to me for kindness shown to him, and begged me to declare to the world that he was sane to the last…. And then smilingly but with moist eyes said, ‘I am sorry to part from you, faithful friend, and wish you were going along’!” Abstract A summary of the resource.
