4 BORN COLLECTOR.
From The Spectator

From The Spectator.
Another great collector was Richard Heber OF
whom Sir Walter Scott said that his library
and cellar are superior to all others in the
world. He, indeed, was a born collector who
made a catalogue at the age Of eight To him
books were an absorbing passion. He would
ride hundreds of miles 10 bid for one which he
did not possess. Wherever he went he estab-
lished library. He had two in London, others
at Oxford, Paris. Client, Brussels and Antwerp
but the best of his books were housed at HOdnet
and he would often engage all the inside places
of coach to convey his treasures from London
1t is said OF him that he disliked the cox
combry of large paper copies. which filled too
much room on his shelves. and he was guilty
not only of reading his books, but even of lend
ing them. why, you see. sir,' he said no
man can comfortably do without three copies OF
a book. One he must have for his show COPY
and he will probably keep it at his country
house; another he will require for his own use
and reference. and unless he is inclined to part
with this, which is very incOnvenient, or risk
the injury of his best copy. he must needs have
a third at the service Of his friends" But
Heber was the most generous, as he was the
most magnificent.
