l'ls reminds us Of n somewhat similar
incident, Of which we were Il witness, some
years since, in the old country, whilst an
undergraduate Of the University Of Oxford
DnrIng term time, nn anctioncer, hy the
name Of Wise, was in the habit Of holding
weekly salc "f books, g., at which OF
course the undcrgra'ls formed the majority
OF the audience, though frequently some
of the D"ns were present, for the double
purpose OF picking up some cheap work
anu Keeping their weather-cye open us 10
the style in which Mr.. Wise conducted his
business, as no trade can be carried on
within The precincts Of the University un-
less with the permission nf The Faculty.
I'm the occasion we alludc 10 Il seeming
ly valuable parcci of books had been put up
byMr. Wise, and owing 10 the persuasive
clo1ncnce he Lwas master of, had received
b!ldings Tar above the price they could
have becn obt,ircd of any respectable
baokseler. The freshmen, however, in
ignorance nf tho possession Of this, were
eagerly competing with each other for the
possession of them. when old DR.. Bliss, The
professor of Poetry i The University, alb.
rnptly proclaimed the fact. Whcrnrron
Wise, nothing abashcd, roarcd forth in
s,cntorian terms from his rostrurn, pointing
significantly at the unfortunate inierrup,er
of tho proceedings,
when Ignorance il bliss,
