Some Venerable Books.

Some venerable BOOKS.
Attorney Mackay has a number of
ancient volumes which compel biblo-
philes to take off their hats out Of
respect for their antiquity. One OF
these is "The Fastening of st. Peters
Fetters," printed in lGG0, by Zech
erosion, minister of the Gospel at St.
Botolpho Agate, London. 1t has a
somewhat larger page than the Emo
volume, is about half an inch in thick
ness, bound in half-leather, printed in
the old-style type, with the long S, and
is about half of the text in italics.
Another is, No Cross, No Crown"
written by William Penn while in
prison, and was one of his most popu-
lar works. 1t likewise dates back sew
eral centuries to 17l3.
But the most unique volume is one
with considerably larger pages than
the modern octave, entitled a Geo.
graphical Description of the Four
Parts of the World" taken from the
Workes of Monsieur Samson, the
whole illustrated with a variety Of
useful and delightful maps and
figures. 1870" A perusal of its

Take, for instance, the map of this
country, and no Mississippi river is
shown; the great lakes are situate
about midway between the northern
border and the Gulf of Mexico; the
st. Lawrence drains Salt Lake; Cali
fornia is an island, and the Georgia
everglades are shown as mountains.
Not even the outline of the continent
is correctly presented, and the two
greater oceans are called the North
Sea and the South Sea.
Africa is represented of great width
and not much length, measured by
meridian and parallel lines, and the
Great Sahara desert is shown as
traversed by many rivers and stream.

correction OF the errors in description
of what was obviously terra incognita
to our ancestors, would probably fill a
volume OF equal size. The "mapps,"
as they are marked in the quaint VOL

makes it quite difficult to catch at a
glance the boundaries of either coun-
try or State. or probably the di.crep-

1t may be safely assumed that these
rare volumes might easily find pur.

actual weight in gold. The two small.

$50 to 5000 by that standard, and the
" Geographical Description OF the Four

value of from 81 500 to $1,000 by the
gold-bug unit OF all values.

was overpowered and lodged in
the jail. Trouble had been eX'

if you are asked, back me up in

you and that highwayman part

Carton, raising his hand warn
ingly and glancing about appre-
hensiyely. Be careful of what
you say, my friend. How do you

We're your mind not distorted
you would know that to take the
dough and not ask where it comes
from, long as it comes, is the
only sane, safe and conservative
policy"

upon the demented stranger and
