PASSION THAT MAKES THIEVES
Emerson's Declaration Concerning
Book Collectors Would Seem 70
Have Been Amply Justified.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once declared
that book-collectors were all thieves.
The passion OF classification masters
the mind and makes rogues of honest
men," The case of n professor Of the
ology in the University of Berlin. who
had just been convicted OF stealing
books from the university, reminds a
writer in the Boston Transcript OF Fni-
erson's saying and of the following In
cidents:
''W. s. Shaw. the founder Of the BOs-
ton Athenaeum, used to steal from the
private libraries OF his friends any
books he wanted 10 make his darling
Athenaeum complete. Collectors Of
shells steal 'orangias' from the Grin
nells' mantelpiece and Mrs. Collins
house at Siasconset. Mellish Moore
told me that the books stolen from the
Boston Athenaeum are mostly from
the theological department. so that
up. But the books most often taken
are patent reports. by lawyers" Pro-
feSSional and collecting morals must
have improved since Emerson wrote
those words in his Journal in the fifties:
he goes on and adds: But even I'm
comparatively late days l have seen
some queer instances OF collecting zeal
AS, for example, this: A couple OF
respectable Boston business men. one
of whom collected weapons. visited
very swell house In Rhode Island once
in the absence OF the family: they
were admitted by the aged caretaker:
while in the drawing-rOom. one Of
these reputable gentlemen engaged the
old custodian in conversation while the
other slipped under his coat the au-
thentic tomahawk of noted Indian
chief-and got away with il. And the
queerest part of the matter was that
the collector used TO boast of the
achievement when exhibiting the toma-
hawk as an item of his treasures
