...very annoying to readers in the library never to be able to find certain periodicals, supposed to be placed there for the use of all. This is owing in part to the negligence of those who take the papers from the shelves and fail to return them, but more, probably, to the laxity with which the laws of the library are observed. There are many persons who take advantage of the privilege of keeping reference books and periodicals over night, and then turn them to private purposes for a longer time.

...need not be surprised at the criticism of the present mode of dress, for it has always been the hobby among a certain class, consisting usually of dyspeptic men and old maids, to rail at the prevailing style of female apparel. Even in the frivolous times of James I. we find in a sermon preached at Whitehall a reference to "the French, the Spanish and the Polish fashions of giddy women." But really the ladies' dress of today is the very opposite of extravagant when compared with that of comparatively recent times. The "pull-back" is just as modest...
