FRAUDS IN OLD BOOKS.
Ancient and Rare Volumes Doctored,
Restored and Initiated.


A well known collector acquired
what he took 10 be book published
by Aldus in the year 1889. He paid
81 900 for IL and believed that IL was
an original Aidus because the publish
crs press mark. a dolphin cOiled round
an anchor, appeared upon H. When
the book was shown 10 an expert IL
proved 10 be beyond shadow Of
doubt modern antique-thst Is to
say, II was simply q copy OF the orig
inal work printed by an ingenious book
faklr. So clever was the imitation
that only an expert could tell it from
the original and rare book. Scores Of
persons during recent years have
bought facsimles OF rare works under
the impression that they were getting
the originals. Dickens Sunday I'm
der Three Heads" has been faxed
many times and sold as original to
collectors who no doubt treasure them
as rarities. Genuine copies OF this
little book are worth a good SUM, and
some INSCRIPTIONS dealers, taking adj
vantage Of the circumstances, have
Hdu IL lIl'h anu pdlib Nh NhS
copies on unsuspecting bibliomanlacs
for the genuine first edition.
Many men make a living by doc
toring" old and rare books for un-
scrupulous dealers. These men are
adopts i'm the art Of book restoring and
are quite able 10 make good any part
Of an imperfect copy. For instance,
If rare book has leaf missing il Is
handed over 10 restorer, who re-
prints the page with battered type,
the paper upon which IL is printed be
Ing afterward discolored with chem
icals or tobacco water in order to give
il the true antique hue.
The first folio Shakespeare IT, OF
course, OF great value, and IL Is safe
TO say that every possible deception
has been practiced in fitting mp copies
OF this work for sale. At one time the
manufacture OF first folio ShakeSpeares
was quite trade. A first folio having
several leaves missing had leaves in
serted from the second folio, while In
one case the entire play Of "Cymbe-
line" was reprinted and inserted in
first folio. The faxed" pages were
so cleverly done that several experts
were at first unable to detect them
when turning over the pages Of the
work in question. Book restorers, as
II rule, are most ingenious artists, and
they can produce nn imitation OF a
page Of rare book which will deceive
- nurfin
lar restorer has "doctored" more than
n thousand old books during the last
two years producing pages in facsim-
lie and supplying colophons or deco
rated capitals. There is not thing
wanting To make book complete that
this man cannot skillfully "fake."-

You know them; they are

presence felt everywhere. The
names Of the family are Head
ache, Toothache, Earache,
Backache, Stomach ache, Nett
ralgia, etc. They are scntinels
that warn you Of any dcrange-
ment of your system. When
the brain nerves become ex-
hausted or irritated, Headache
makes you miserable; if the
stomach nerves are weak, in
digestion results, and you
double up with pain, and if the
more prominent nerves are af-
fected, Neuralgia simply makes
life uncomfortable. The way to
stop pain is to soothe and
strengthen the nerves. DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills do this.
