the librarian whose name is perpetuated in
"Poole's Index" and who died in Boston
within the past year. was known through
out the country for his rare skill in restor-
Ing and repairing old documents and re-
prints. He lived for thirty years in a house
at the South End, Boston. with three con-
genial spirits, one a collector of Dickensana,
the second of Napoleanana and the third a
collector of first editions. Poole was
collector, too-of books, letters and pro-
grams relating 10 the stage. He had a re-
markable faculty for matching old paper
and could put a corner or a patch on a
letter or playful neatly that il could be
noticed only under magnifying glass. Mr..
Poole's famous feat of splitting a magazine
page into four leaves or layers was brought
about by English inlayer, who showed
Mr.. Poole page split in three leaves with
the printing on il unmarried. The Ameri-
can said that he could do all that the Eng
lishman had done-and more; and after
some experiments produced page of the
Century Magazine split in four leaves This
was taken to London by a book collector
who had gone abroad to add 10 his library.
and after the page had been the rounds of
the clubs there Ii was sent to Paris and
caused the Frenchmen to wonder.
