ny IRVING.


A few days after this conversation
with Mr.. Buckthorne, he called upon
me, and took me with him 10 a regular
literary dinner. Ii was given BY a
great bookseller, or rather a company
OF booksellers, whose firm surpassed in
length even that of Shadrach, Meshac,
aud Abed-nego.
l was surprised TO find between 90
and 80 guests assembled, most Of whom
had never seen before. Backbone
explained this to me, by informing me
that this was business dinner or
kind OF field day. which the house gave
about twice a year 20 it's authors. IL
IS true, they did occasionally give snug
dinners to three ar four literary men al
time. but then these were generally
select authors; favorites Of the public ;
such as had arrived ut their sixth and
seventh editions. There are.' said
he. certain geographical boundaries

quite small. the farmers are anxious
