The Paper They Were Writer On.

The average author would probably
laugh at the statement that at one
time in the worlds history manu-
scripts. simply as such, irrespective of
the nature of the text, were immense
" valuable In ancient times manu-
scripts were important articles from a
commercial point of view. They were
excessively scarce and were preserved
with the utmost care. Even the usur-
ers were glad to lend money on them
when the owners were obliged to offer
them in pawn. 1t is related in an
ancient tome that a student of Pavia,
who was reduced by his debaucheries,
raised a new fortune by leaving in
pawn a manuscript of body of law,
and a grammarian who was ruined by
a fire rebuilt his house with two small
volumes Of Cicero through the ready
aid of the pawnbrOker.
