A New York City publisher and bookseller, Stanford published The Citizens Directory and Strangers Guide Through the City of New York (1814).
The collection consists of selected correspondence, documents, and ephemera relating to Stanford or family members or friends. Included are four letters by Stanford to James Chapman (1785-1857), rector; one letter by James Matlock (1775-1840), New Jersey congressman; two Civil War letters by Stanford's son, one (1865) from Fort Pocahontas, Virginia; one letter by Burgess Allison (1753-1827), chaplain of U.S. House of Representatives; and a copy of Stanford's engraved bookplate. There are also signed receipts for payments made by Stanford for such things as house rent, taxes, coal, a coach, several picture frames, subscriptions to the Ladies' Literary Cabinet, and a donation to the Association for the Relief of Respectable, Aged, Indigent Females; a receipt for a portrait of Stanford signed by the New Jersey portrait painter John Paradise (1783-1833); and a ferrotype portrait of "cousin Elizabeth Andrew."
