LITERARY TREASURE TRovE.
Fortunate Find Of an English Book
Lover Mt Auction Sale
in Leeds.

One of those romantic discoveries of
literary treasure trove which one often
hears of but somehow has never the
good luck to experience has recently
befallen Leeds man, Harold P. Dom.
Some five years ago Mr.. Dom was at an
auction sale in Brlggate, Leeds, when
he picked up a battered old volume
on Hebrew customs for half crown
He has recently became aware that the
book is of considerable value, and on
submitting it to Leeds gentleman
w eRRe0R he On s4S4 msts esas tRat
value of his purchase might be esti-
mated at between G 300 and G 500.
The book does not look worth the
money. 1t can boast only one cover,
and the first few pages have disap-
peared, says the Jewish World. 1t is
really three books bound into one vol
ume-a book on Roman antiquities;
"Seven Books of the Attick Antiaui-
ties" and the work on Hebrew cere-
monies, which constituted the valuable
portion. This is entitled 'Moses and
Aaron. Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites
Used by the Ancient Hebrews; OBJ
served at Much Pain for the Clearing of
Many Obscure Texts Throughout the
Holy Scripture" There is some more
title, but this is sufficient for a sample.
The book is by one Thomas GOODWIN,
b. d., whose preface is dated 1924, while
the date of issue of this edition, the
eleventh, is 1878. 1t constitutes com
plete compendium of Hebrew customs,
and is compiled largely from authori-
ties whose works are now lost.
