MOST UNIQUE OF LIBRARIES
That of the Poet, Robert Southey
Probably Has the Greatest Claim
to Distinction.

The library of Robert Southey, the
English poet, consisted Of about $4,000
volumes. That is probably the larg-
est number of books ever collected by
a. person of such limited means. His
son writes that many of the books
were in vellum or parchment bindings.
His brother. Thomas Southey, was e.
skillful letterer; he painted the backs
of the books in some bright color, and
put the title on this colored back
ground in large gold letters Of the Old
English type.
Another fancy of the poets was to
have all the books of lesser value,
which had become ragged and dirty.
covered, OF rather bound, in coloreo
cotton prints, for the sake of making
them clean and respectable, since he
could not afford to have so many pu1
into leather bindings.
His daughters, aided by any female
friend who might be staying with
them, performed that task, and they
bound thus, at different times, some
l 400 volumes. They filled one room
completely, and Southey called it "the
Cottonian library" He took great
pleasure in watching and directing
this work The ladies would often suit
the pattern to the contents; they
would clothe a Quaker work or book
OF sermons in somber drab, poetry IN
some fiowery pattern, and sometimes
they would contrive a sly piece of
satire at the expense of some work by
their choice of its binding. There was
one convenience about this mode OF
binding for the books were identified
by their conspicuous dress, and very
aaciI1y found -VOutb'S COmDaniOD
