VIOLIN ATTACHMENT TO rHs PiAso.-Dr'

descriptive of the curiositIes exhibited IN The
Glass Palace at London. In his letter OF MAY

Those people who are always snarling at and
wondering over typographical errors, occurring
in reducing their illegible MSS. into print, may
profit by the "fact" appended.
We take it from contemporary, and without
vo uching for its strict authenticity, only say
in the spirit of the Italian proverb that if not
true it well might be:
A CURIOUS HISTORICAL FAcT.-Some hundred
years ago, number of the professors of the
Edinburgh University attempted to publish q
work which should be perfect specimen oftypo-
graphical accuracy. Every precaution was taken
to secure the desired result Six experienced
proof-readers were employed, who devoted
hours to the reading of each page, and after it
was thought to be perfect, it was pasted up in
the hall Of the University, with notification
that reward Of ECO would be paid to any per-
son who could discover an error. Each page
was suffered TO remain two weeks in the place
where it had been pasted, before the work was
printed, and the Professors thought that they
had attained the object for which they had been
striving When the work was issued, it was
discovered that several errors had been COM
mitted--one of which was in the first line of the
first page If a case of this kind should occur
after ali the precautions which had been used,
after full and ample time had been given for q
correct and thorough reading, and that by day
light, carpers at errors in morning newspapers
should have some little excuse for those who
are compelled TO read proofs at two or three
o'clock in the morning, and then in hurry, in
order not to miss the mails.
