BOOKS IN QUEER BINDINGS.
Human Skin Among other Things
Used for Coverings.

Extravaganza in binding has fire.
quently furnished an opening for the
display of fantastic tricks and fads.
In a booksellers catalogue was once
an advertisement of a Latin copy OF
Apuleius' Golden Ass" bound in the
skin of an ass. A book relating to
Jeffrey Hudson, the celebrated dwarf,
was bound in a piece of the silk waist
coat of Charles L. Fox's historical
works were bound in foxskin, and
Bacon's works were dressed out in
hogskin. One offspring Of the French
revolution was the grim humor OF
binding books in human skin, France
was not alone in this practice. In
various parts of England the skin of
murderers has been tanned and used
to bind books. The public library OF
Bury st. Edmunds has a book con-
tanning the account of the trial of a
man for murder, bound in his own
skin. Eccentricities of binding in such
skins as cats, crocodile, mole, seal,
wolf, tiger, bear, etc, abound. The
use of cloth in binding is n of com
paratively recent date. In 1885 Archi-
bald Leighton introduced cloth for
covers, the first books so bound be-
ing Byron's complete works.
