Excerpt from The Literary News, 1939, Vol. 9: A Monthly Journal of Current Literature
Mr. Whittier lives with near relatives at their residence, something more than a mile north west of the principal village of the town. The place is reached by a northerly branch from a road leading west to Middleton. The locality is marked by the numerals 46 upon Mr. Upham's map of Salem village. The old Boston Path,' an inland road, leading through Medford and Reading to Ipswich and Newburyport and the northern settlements, passed, by an alternative and scarcely secondary line, directly by the site of this residence. This path may still be traced with carefulness and much crossing of pastures; and in visiting the place any reader who chooses may follow it.
The spot is a delightful one. The house it self is spacious and hospitable, modern as to com fort and convenience, and venerable enough for dignity and homelike looks. The material is wood, and the color a light brown. It is planted somewhat broadly and at length upon the ground, with pillars on either side reaching to nearly the full height of the building. An addition has lately been made toward the east, and in this wing of the building are the apartments specially de voted to Mr. Whittier.
His private sitting-room, or study, if you enter it, you will find to be a room furnished for use and ease, warmed with its fire of coal in an open grate, and with no aspect of newness and unfamiliarity with life, but looking much as if its companionable and benignant occupant might have been at home in it for a quarter of a century.
And it is here, at his dear Oak Knoll, that we love best to picture Whittier to ourselves, seated beneath the ample veranda, old, and well-nigh deaf, but still singing in strains that have touched the sympathies of millions.

Frederick Leypoldt was a German-born American publisher and bibliographer.
Background
Frederick Leypoldt was born on November 17, 1835 in Stuttgart, Germany, the son of Michael Friedrich and Christiane Magdalene (Deihle) Leypoldt. He was originally named Jakob Friedrich Ferdinand, but after he came to America was known as Frederick Leypoldt.
Career
Of a literary inclination and reluctant to follow his father's trade, Leypoldt left his native land in 1854, and eventually became a naturalized citizen of the United States. In New York he obtained employment in the foreign bookstore of F. W. Christern, who in 1859 helped him to establish in Philadelphia a bookstore dealing in books in all languages. This store, with its reading-room of foreign periodicals and its circulating library, became a literary center.
While the Civil War prevented the importation of books, Leypoldt extended his interests to publishing. His initial venture, The Ice-Maiden by Hans Christian Andersen, translated by Fanny Fuller, appeared in 1863 and was followed by other publications, at first translations, later textbooks for the study of modern languages. He opened a branch office in New York in 1864, soon giving up the bookstore to concentrate his interest on the New York office. In 1865 Henry Holt, afterward his lifelong friend, joined him in business; and in January 1866 the firm of Leypoldt & Holt was formed. It continued the policy of publishing translations and textbooks, of which Leypoldt wrote several under the anagram, L. Pylodet.
In 1868 he relinquished the publishing side of the business and began his career as a bibliographer by taking charge of the firm's Literary Bulletin, a Monthly Record of Current Literature. This bulletin formed the beginning of a series of publications of varying titles which, after absorbing by purchase from George W. Childs the American Literary Gazette and Publishers' Circular, became, in January 1873, The Publishers' Weekly. Leypoldt was sole editor and publisher from 1871 until January 5, 1879; Richard Rogers Bowker then became proprietor, but Leypoldt was again editor and publisher from July 5, 1879, until his death. Many features of the present Publishers' Weekly owe their origin to him.
In 1880 he established the monthly Literary News, which, after his death, was edited by his widow until its cessation in 1904. As early as 1862 he felt the lack of trade bibliographies, and in the Publishers' Weekly he endeavored to provide current lists. No annual catalogue had been published in America since 1856. In the issue of his Literary Bulletin for January 1869 appeared the forerunner of his effort to supply the lack. Beginning in 1870, he issued a series of three such annuals: The American Catalogue of Books for 1869 (1870), The Trade Circular Annual for 1871 including The American Catalogue of Books Published in the United States during 1870 (1871), and The Annual American Catalogue, 1871 (1872), the last prefaced by the statement that the work was to be discontinued because of "great obstacles and discouragements. "
The following year (1873), however, The Uniform Trade List Annual anticipated in form by the appendix to his second annual catalogue, and by similar publications by Howard Challen, made its first appearance. It consisted of catalogues of 101 publishers bound in alphabetical order. This project for the book trade was so successful that the idea was adopted in other countries and the American publication, under the revised title, The Publishers' Trade List Annual, has continued without interruption.
Work on The American Catalogue, under consideration since 1872, the culmination of the series of book-trade aids designed by Leypoldt, was begun in 1876. The compilation of this list of books in print July 1, 1876, proved so costly an undertaking that Leypoldt was obliged to make a financial arrangement with A. C. Armstrong, under whose imprint the volumes were issued in 1880 and 1881. Leypoldt was one of the founders of the Library Journal in 1876, and its publisher until his death. When in June 1880 the Journal, then published at a loss, was about to discontinue, he personally assumed the responsibility for its continuance. He was interested in the founding of the American Library Association in 1876, and published several library aids for others, compiling and issuing A Reading Diary of Modern Fiction (1881) and, with Lynds E. Jones, The Books of All Time (1882). In 1879 he undertook the publication of the Index Medicus, which, though it brought him a financial loss, proved so valuable that it was continued until the end of his life and afterward. In June 1927 it combined with the Quarterly Cumulative Index to form the Quarterly Cumulative Index Medicus. He died of cerebral fever in the spring of 1884.

Frederick Leypoldt has been listed as a noteworthy publisher, bibliographer by Marquis Who's Who.
