Hard on the Proofreader.

Getting typographical errors out Of
dictionaries is a task beside which
that little Augean stable affair of Her
cules was an afternoon snap.
When the Oxford edition Of the Bible
was published the proofs were read
and reread ten times. Then reward
of $3.50 was offered to any one who
should find a typographical blunder.
One was found in the first chapter of
Genesis. Dictionary proofreading is
even more difficult than Bible proof
reading.
There is a tradition that a man who
read proofs of the Lords Prayer for
that Oxford edition went insane out of
fear lest he made a blunder in it.
