PRECAUTIONS OF A BOOK LENDER.-A
correspondent of the Boston Transcript writes
II have considerable library, quito misoells'
neous in makeup, and l have for years lent
books under certain restrictions. 10 the first
place, seldom lend volume out of set, or.
if for good cause I make an exception stipu-
late the time for its return, as am firm be-
lever 10 what is worth borrowing is worth re-
turning. Iu the second place, | keep 80 ac.
count Of the books l loan, to " hom and when.
Iu the third place, when need to use book
loaned Or when l think it has been out long
enough TO be read. send Tor it, whether the
borrower be friend Deighbor or acquaintance.
10 the fourth place, | always intend to cover
with paper book lend, though believe q
careful borrower should do this if the book is
taken uncovered. AS to fine bindings, l am
more chary about loauing, my decision depend
ing upon the borrower and my opinion OF him
or her. l seldom have lost book by lending.
If the borrower dislikes being reminded of bis
delinquency in keeping the book an uuneoes-
sarily long time, or of my (the owner) need.
Jog the same, perhaps he will not soon agaiu
borrow, which decision on his part suits mo
exactly, if my experience with him shows his
principles"
