Six months ago, to have been asked to

MINIATURE BOOKS
AT LIBRARY OF
CONGRESS.

UNIQUE collection of miniature books
was placed on exhibition in the northwest
gallery of the Library Of Congress this
week. One hundred and ninety-two volumes
are displayed, no one of which measures
more than two inches in length or breadth.
They come from all lands, and are printed
In many languages. The smallest book that
ever was produced is there-an almost MI
croscopic edition of Edward Fitzgerald's
translation Of the 'Rubayat" So tiny is 1t
that It defies measurement In inches, and
must need have it's size set down in milli-
meters, of which 1t is only by by 3. Some
of the little volumes date back to the early
part of the eighteenth century, but the ma
jority are modern productions. There Is a
marked difference to be observed between
the foreign and domestic editions, the for
mer being much more carefully gotten out
than the latter. The German books are par
ticularly fine. well bound, clearly printed and
literally works of art The first section OF
the exhibit r. given over to religious books.
and with these will be found some of the
Oldest and rarest of the volumes. There Is,
for instance. a "Doctrinal and Prayer,
Book" printed by ]. w. Kohles at Altorf
In 1710, which when opened scarcely covers
a square inch of cardboard. Near this Is
bound in proportionately heavy leather.
which was issued In 1852; and on the second
row to the left is curious sexagonal vol
ume, about the size of silver dollar, the
pages of which show floral borders daintily
done in blue and red, and the context Of
which Is believed to be the Koran in Arabic
More modern and usual, but still quantity
interesting, is a little English Bible. the
title page of which reads as follows: 1.-THE
