Swift's "Gulliver's Travels"
From Blackwood's Magazine

the explanation is available now

aiming the documents in the imminent
room Of Westminster Abbey. he had come
across bundle of law papers, being the
proceedings in actions brought by one
Lemuel CULVER of Westminster against
certain Peter Swift of Longdon in Worces-
tershire. the dates of the documents rang
ing from 1913 to 1741. Now Longdon,
where Peter SWIFT lived, is less than twenty
miles from Goodrich in Herefordshire of
which parish Jonathan Swift's grandfather
was vicar; and 1t may even be the case
that these two families of Swift were akin
In any event, it can hardly be doubted that
we have here the origin of the name of
the hero Of the famous Travels" Dr.
Scott suggested, indeed, in his letter to
the Athenaeum, that an allusion to the legal
proceedings of which he had unearthed
the records was to be found in the Voyage
to Brobdingnag," where CULVER told the
king of that country that he had 'been
formerly almost ruined by long suit in
chancery. which was decreed for him with
COSTS" But 'Gulliver's Travels" was pub
lished in 1925. and had been read by more
than one person in manuscript some years
before. so that it cannot contain any allu-

One night lecturer began his discourse
as follows: There never was but one
really good druggist. and he was my
brother; there never was but one good piano
player, and she was my Oldest sister; there
never was but one good singer, and she
was my other sister, there never was but
one good lawyer and he was my other

cook, and she was my mother: there never
was, but one good storekeeper, and he was
my father; and it is matter of world
wide notoriety that there never was but
one really good lecturer. and I am the
man." Now. isn't that talk just like the
talk heard in some families? Nobody ever

DAWN; Tale of the Renaissance. By
Egerton r. Williams, jr., author of
The Hill Towns of Italy With IL
Illustrations in color by Joseph c. Ly-
endecker. Chicago: A. c. McCiurg & Co.
Ridolfo de- Baglioni is a compelling por-
trait of the tyrant who was produced by
that long period when each of the Italian
cities was principality in itself, and when
their feuds, factions and warfare rent Italy
asunder. Gismonda his wife, brings the
light of her gentle, Christian character into
the dark chaos of bloodshed and intrigue
in which the native nobility of her lord has
almost been lost. 1t is not until she has
nearly given up her own life at the hands
of the violent man, who loves but tortures
her, that she is able to free him from his
bondage. "Ridolfo'' is fine study of the
savage feudalism of the great Italian
families in the fifteenth century.
THE CATTLE BARON's DAUGHTER.
P1- u
of Somaso," etc New York: Frederick
A. Stokes Company.
The Cattle Baron's Daughter is a ro-
nance of real issues based on actual OBJ
servaton and experience and written by a
man of fair mind. Intense interest is
aroused by its pictures of life in the cattle
country at that critical moment of transit
ton when the great tracts of land used
for grazing were taken up by incoming
homeSteaders, with the inevitable result of
fierce contest, of passionate emotion on
both sides and of the final triumph of the
inevitable tendency of the times.

A MASS OF MISPRINTS
PAGES OF ERRATA NECESSARY TO
MAKE WORK CORRECT.
Curious Blunders Found in the Daily
Press and Famous Errors Of
the Bible.

1t is a matter of very serious doubt
whether a book entirely free from mis-
prints or errors of some nature ever issues
from the press. 1t is certainly true that
the books produced in the early days of
printing contained a mass of misprints and
many pages of errata were necessary to
make the work correct Errors in reprints
of Shakespeare were so common that Mr..
Halliwell Phillips felt constrained to print
privately, "a Dictionary of Misprints,"
guide for future editors of Shakespeare.
The causes of misprints are numerous. The
principal source, however, is what is known
among printers as a foul case" case mean
ing the box collection of small boxes
containing the type with which the printer
sets up the text. Through carelessness
and by the boxes becoming too full and
overffowing, letters get into the wrong box.
and, consequently, wrong letters get into
the words set up by the printer.
Thus, reporter on daily paper, in tell
ing how the engineer of an express train
avoided a serious accident, is made to say,
THE engineer put on full steam, dashed
into the COW and literally cut it into calves"
And from the society page we learn that
the bride was accompanied to the altar
by tight bridesmaids" Because the printer
picked an m out of the HI box, news
paper account of big political meeting
stated that the crowd rent the air with
their snouts.''
