...house, in particular, seems to do no more than throw the leaves of their books together. I picked up a book in the Library today which, though quite new, already showed signs of disintegration, and guessed at first glance from what house it emanated. On opening the cover, sure enough, the name of "Scribner" appeared on the title-page. And Scribner is not alone. A friend who bought a text-book of the Boston agents of another New York firm found, on taking it home, that several leaves were loose. He at once took it back to ask an exchange...
Rich and luxurious bindings have been prized from early times, but to attempt cheap imitations by cloth covers emblazoned with all the colors of the rainbow, as is done especially in some recent editions of the poets, is enough to blackball them against admittance into the libraries of persons of taste. Better the old-fashioned, sober, hog-skin cover than the flash and flimsy bindings of some of our modern books...

We are very much obliged to all who favor us with contributions, and hope that the writers to whom we have alluded will not fail to continue...
...necessary text-book, so that no delay should be suffered from want of it. But as for Roman Law, the book was not of the slightest consequence. No doubt it was expected to appear when wanted; and if not, it would not make much difference. Those who were foolish enough to choose such a study could wait eight or ten weeks well enough; or they could drop the study when they became tired of waiting, and grind up a little back work in some other branch. It would do them good, both by inculcating the habit of industry...
