TWC English Professor Has Largest
Collection of 'Moby Dick''vm World
The world's largest collection of
different editions of MO fa* DICK
is contained right, here at Texas
Wesleyan College.
Dr. H. Howard Hughes, head of
the languages and literatures de-
partment, started collecting the
many editions of Herman Mel-
ville's MOBY DICK because of
his own great interest in the sub-
ject.
There were 248 items in the
Hughes collection of editions,
adaptations, and ..translations be-
fore Dr. and Mrs. Hughes left for
their summer trip last June. No
items new to the collection seemed
to*be available in Canada and New
Yorki although Judge Joseph
Sweet of Hamilton, Ontario, whom
ihe Hugheses met on board
METEOR for the North Cape

Danish Translation
The first item picked up on the
trip was a small abridged edition
published by Dean and Sons of
London, which Dr. Hughes found
in one of the many bookshops
along Charing" Cross Road. After
a two-day search in Copenhagen,
he finally found a Danish transla-
tion by the famous Danish scholar,
Peter Freuchen. This little , book
had eluded Dr. Hughes on a pre-
vious search in 1960; but he found
it this time by the help of a book-
seller near the University of
Copenhagen.

complete edition of MOBY DI<?K
translated into Swedish by Dr.
Hugo Hultenberg, a professor of
English at Stockholm University.
This item contains an interesting
"Foreword" by Dr. Henrik Cor-
nell, an art professor at the Uni-
versity.
By August 14, after a wonder-
ful month in Scandinavia, the
Hugheses were in Hamburg, where
two interesting German editions
were found, during two days of
tramping around in. the rain. One
of these was a delightful chil-
dren's version adapted and trans-
lated by Thomas Trent and/pur-
chased at Woolworth's; the<*TfKer
was the new Rowolts"Classics edi-
tion with an essay and bibliogra-
thf*Phy by ITans-Joachin Lang.
Still tramping in the rain and
alrpost ready to give up and take
cover, Dr. Hughes found in Am-
sterdam a new two-in-one volume
translated into the Dutch langu-
age by Emy Giphart. This was
the only item found during the
short visit in Amsterdam. The
language of northern Belgium,
called Flemish, is vei^v much like
Dutch; and a \,er<? rare Flemish
translation turned up in a book-
shop near the Hugheses' hotel in
Bruges, Belgium, just before the
travelers left for Brussels. The
bookshop attendant judged by the
language, printing, and paper
used that this edition came out
during th#%ecOnd world war, al-
and when
it was reported to Mr. A. Volk-
aerts, Secretary of the association
of Belgian publishers, he could not
find it in his records and he asked
Dr. Hughes to send him a descrip-
tion of it. Dr. Hughes had made
the acquaintance of Mr, Volkaerts
in 1960 and he has tried to report
to Dr. Hughes by mail from time
to time regarding any new French
or Flemish translations of MOBY
DICK. So this item may be re-
garded as another "real find."
French Translation
Of the many Fre/fch transla-
tions available in Pjtjis, only one
could really be considered an ad-
dition to the collection: a special
printing and birj/rTflv of a beauti-
fully illustrated double-column ed-
it ion which had been made for a
French Book Club. After a week
in Paris the Hugheses returned to
London on August 27, where a last
desperate effort at MOBY DICK
hunting resulted in three rare
items, purchased at Hatchard's m
Pieadilly ,at the famous Foyle's
Bookshop: one was a small text-
book edition in the Longman's
Simplified English Series, cont.ain-
Service
' O
ing less than a hundred pages; the
Other two were fine editions pub-
lished by Cassell and Company,
one of which is in a Beautiful aft
leather binding done by the fa-
mous Bayntum Art Binder at Bath,
England.
Back at Texas Wesleyan College
on September 11, Dr. Hughes was
delighted to find that Mr. Carl
Schrader had sent him from Ger-
many eariy in the summer a speci-
al printing of the East Gerntan
edition translated by Alice and
Hans Seifert Before the end of
September ap additional item (
came in the^rfirrn of 1.935 Amer-
ican publication, illustrated by
Raymond Bishop, furnished to Dr.
Hughes by the Bleecker Book
of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Italian Edition
During the past week the MOBY
DICK collection has really "hit
the jackpot." At the District IJive
English Workshop at Denton High*
School, Dr. Hughes picked up an
abridged edition at the book ex-
hibit arranged by the L. W. Sing-
er Company of Syracuse, N. Y.
Then on November 19, a beauti-
fully illustrated children's edition
in Italian arrived from Blackwell's
Bookshop, Oxford, England, with
a< note stating that Ed Sanders,
one of Dr. Hughes' former stu-
dents had requested that it be
sent. On the 20th, a special two-
volume paperback edition in Hun-
garian arrived from, Olomouc,
Czechoslovakia, which had been
sent by-Dr. J. Peprnik who visited
in Hungary during the summer,
and who has sent about 18 Items
for the collection during the past
s^verofc years. Also on the same
day the complete set of sixteen
volumes, the only American edi-
tion of the Complete Works of
Herman Melville, arrived from the
publisher. Russell and Russell of
New York City. The MOBY DICK
part of this set is in two volumes;
it is just off the press and the ink
is hardly dry. Another 1963 edi-
tion arrived on November 21, the
Literary Heritage edition pub-
lished by the Macmillan Company
and edited as a textbook by H.
Lincoln Foster. Two other text-
book editions, especially designed
for high school use, arrived last
Friday from the Harcourt, Brace,
and World Publishers.
Thus seven additions to the col-
lection in one week constitutes
the most spectacular "spurt" since
the fall of 1952, when two Texas
Wesleyan graduates, Fumiko and
Shizuko Turu, sent five Japanese
editions from Tokyo in one pack-
age.
