Water Drops , a collection of Sigourney 's prose and poetic work , is a temperance tract principally intended to help mothers influence their children against drink . In 1858 , Mary married Rev. Robert Barnwell , thereby providing the link between the Singletons and the Barnwell family , through whom this collection descended . While this exhibit highlights books from the Singleton family , the Phillips ' gift also includes books from the Barnwells , a collection especially strong in nineteenth-century theology . Tennyson 's entry , written on an assigned topic , won the 1829 Chancellor 's Medal at Cambridge University . This volume of The Keepsake , one of the best-known British literary annuals , dates from Angelica 's schooldays in Philadelphia and includes works by popular authors and poets of the time such as Sir Walter Scott , Mary Shelley , Lady Caroline Lamb , Coleridge , and Byron . Of particular interest among Miss Barnwell 's books was this first edition , in the original binding , of a pseudonymous book by America 's first major novelist , James Fenimore Cooper , better known for such frontier adventure stories as The Last of the Mohicans . Lydia Sigourney , known to contemporaries as the " sweet singer of Hartford , " was perhaps the most popular American poet of the mid 1800 's . The publisher , Phillips , Sampson & Co ., advertised and solicited orders from all over the country and the North American territories , reaching as far as San Francisco . Also displayed in this case are books from the Phillips ' gift from other members of the family , including her two sons , along with some unsigned items from the collection that round out the picture it gives of women 's reading in the mid-nineteenth century . His firsthand account , based partly on " notes taken and letters written at the time the events occurred , and partly from memory , " narrates his experiences in Europe with Shelley and Byron and their circle in 1822-1823 . It was Trelawny who had cremated Shelley 's body on the beach at Viareggio and who had taken the poet 's heart from the flames .
