A Manor House Find,

The story of the find of 1000 spade
guineas in the press of an old Hert
fordshire (Eng.) manor house is told
in The Bookman's Journal. The. house
changed owners, and the new pro-
prietOr, few weeks after taking pos
session, examined the attics systemat
ic;llly. In one of the presses there
he found number of tattered and
stained books, among them Doctor
Croly's "Salathiel," which he opened
in casual curiosity. On a page he
came across a penciled note. indicat-
ing where valuableS had been hidden
in the house during the crisis of the
'45 rebellion. Forthwith he had the
flooring of cupboard taken up, and
there in a cavity lny some thousand
spade guineas, a quantity of rara
china and silver. and first editions of

DOCUMENT HELD AS SACRED
Scroll Of the Law, Most Precious Pos
session Of the samaritans, Is
Rarely Exhibited.

The most precious document Of the
Samaritans is their Scroll of the Law.
The scroll is some fifty feet long. and
toward the end its columns are dvid-
ed vertically by "A small gap, often
occurring between the letters Of the
same. word. The Samaritans assert
that the scroll was written by Abishua,
the great-grandsOn of Aaron, in the
early days of the entrance into Ca
man. Although this remote origin is
not allowed the scroll by students, 1t
is nevertheless believed to be the most
ancient copy Of the Pentateuch. .
So jealousy guarded is this scroll
that few non-Samaritans have ever
seen it. and many Samaritans them
selves have not seen it except as it is
exhibited on rare occasions, at feasts,
rolled UP and covered with a silken
cloth and with but one column eX-
posed The scroll has been photo.
graphed and published for the benefit
Of Hebrew scholars. The photograph
was made from end to end of the
scroll. %&a
The Samaritans as a rule show
their guests a scroll of a much later
date than the earliest one, it being i'm
practicable to- display the fragile
parchment continuously. All the pho
tOgraphs hitherto supposedly taken OF
the Abishua scroll have in reality beer
