     summary: It was formed, not only in the short space of twelve years, but at a time when many books, now of almost priceless value, and scarcely to be had at any price, were comparatively common, and certainly not costly. My Lord shew'd me his library, now again improv'd by many books bought at the sale of Sir Charles Scarborough, an eminent physician, which was the very best collection, especially of mathematical books, that was I believe in Europe, once design'd for the King's library at St. James's, but the Queen dying, who was the greate patroness of the designe, it was let fall, and the books were miserably dissipated.'

     summary: It's no good writing down lists of books for farmers and compiling five-foot shelves; you've got to go out and visit the people yourself--take the books to them, talk to the teachers and bully the editors of country newspapers and farm magazines and tell the children stories--and then little by little you begin to get good books circulating in the veins of the nation. Your sister has bought this van and its contents, and I have been instructing her in my theories of the dissemination of good books.

     summary: Walter took the telegram, with trembling fingers, and read the following message:-- DR. PORTER:--Please send Walter Conrad home by the first train. Do you mean to say, Walter Conrad, that you didn't sell such a shawl for five dollars (only half price), and, instead of entering the sale, put the money into your own pocket? I do deny it most emphatically, Mr. Drummond, said Walter, impetuously, and I challenge you to prove it.

     summary: * * The Victorian era was noted for the issue of many books which sent a thrill of excitement through both the religious and intellectual world. Many books are published for which no reasonable market exists, but as long as education continues to influence the mind there will be found persons who think their ideas are inspired, and they must give them expression in the printed book.
