"Mr. Zabriskie was a collector of art, books, and manuscripts, and a friend of any good historical cause. He was a member of the Grolier Club, the chairman of the membership committee of the Museum of the City of New York, and president of the New York Sons of the Revolution and of the New York Historical Society. He was always a delightful gentleman, and Mr. Vail at the Historical Society found him a kind, considerate, and helpful boss. It was in recognition of Mr. Zabriskie\'s success in the administration of the affairs of the Historical Society that he was elected to the American Antiquarian Society in April, 1940. Although we could never get him to come to a meeting, we found him a loyal and generous friend. For one of his famous series of Christmas gift books he reproduced our unique copy of The Children\'s Friend (New York, 1821)." (from American Antiquarian Society) ; Signed by Author. Near Fine .
