Three centuries ago small-sized
book was held in contempt, and an
author was valued not by the quality
of his works SO much as by their size.
A French patron of letters of the time
of Louis XIV, when he gave a dinner
to literary men, was accustomed to
place them according to the size of
their books, he who had written a
folio volume taking precedence of him
who had only produced a quarto, and
