Wonderful GhirOgraphic Curl
OSity.-fsr. GOutd'S Book Of
...r.-F Autographs.

rFrom the Home Journal (N. " Oct 81.
We have, in our day, seen some very
valuable collections of autographs and
have studied the characteristics of an in
diyiduals handwriting in order to detect
peculiarities of character and have occa-
sionally been aware of a slight chill at
coming thus suddenly into contact with a
personal sourenir of some of the great
men of the world But nothing in the
autograph line has ever excited in us so
much interest and astonishment as a
volume we have just finished examining.
In exterior arrangement it is portly
quarto, bound in morocco, containing
about four hundred pages, and each page
contains, on an average, some ten or
twelve names-making an aggregate of
perhaps four thousand.
These names are those Of distinguished
Americans from the days of the Pilgrims
to the present day; American authors for
a similar period; British authors from a
date antccedent to Shakspere down to the
contemporary writers Of the three king
doms; men of mark in medicine, theology
natural history, botany, music, the drama,
and the fine arts; Napoleon with his fam
! lily and marshals, and pcrsonages Of the
/ French revolution; and finally, the roy,
atty, nobility, military and naval celebri
ties of Europe for the past three centu.
ries; and appended to almost every name
is a brief biographical statement of birth
death; etc, which, of itself, forms toler
ably complete biographical dictionary.
The names, however, are not autographs
nor are they Autographs or engraved fac
similies of autographs; but they are pei
and ink limitations of the signatures o
the four thousand individuals designated
all so precisely, We might almost cay s

one made it clearer and clearer. Really
he could not have believed that these lit

for himself and friend or SO, who was
accustomed to "drop in" could amount
to SO much. Mrs. Cooper did not drink
