Somewhat belated Is the notice of the"t'ncollected Wtitlngs of P.nlph WaldoKmerson" by Charles C. Hlgelow (TheLamb Publishing Company.

BOOK THIEVES OFSEVENTEENTH CENTURY
The Bodleian library, whloh has been '
celebrating the tercentenary of Itsfounder, at one time suffered badly frombook thieves. In its eiavs the mis- -
take was made of trutlnc too Implicitlyto the consciences of readers, who werepermitted to take hooks away on pay- - j
nielit of a deposit. Hut the depositswere usually trilling compared with thevalue of the books nnd unscruptiloinstudents used to forfeit their money nndkeep the volumes borrowed.
Others were annexed without the for-mality of a deposit. I'olydorc VerRll. afamous Italian scholar, stole so manybooks from the Bodleian that the
barred his admission to the li-
brary. He thereupon nppealed to HenryVIII., who ordered that Verdi should beallowed to borrow whatever works hedesired, nnd the librarian had lo put upwith belnc robbed as philosophically nsthey could. From thr fall Mall amrttr.
