THIS is a talk on the subject of the
rare" book by one whose knowl-
edge of the subject is. to speak paradoxi-
cally, at once sound and exceedingly
superficial. For its own sake the rare"
book may appeal only to the bibliophile.
but the possibility Of it's discovery and it's
enormous value stimulates the imagina-
tion of several million Americans, scat

to say, ''from the rock bound coast Of
Maine to the Everglades OF Florida: from
Portland to the Golden Gate" This is

Gutenberg having recently died. his
widow had disposed of the family Bible
for the sum of $4,000, and it was thought
would be willing to pay a substantial
fraction of this sum for any other old
Bible that might be offered Consequently
Mrs. Gutenberg was overwhelmed with
offerings of Bibles, most of which would
have been dear at one dollar"
DR. NEWTON had had occasion casu-
- ally to mention in print that the
value of Kilmarnock Burns (printed in
1850 in boards uncut might be about
$4,000. The reasoning in the minds of
those who flooded him with letters as
result seems to have BEEN "If copy of
Burns printed 125 years ago is worth
$1,000, copy half as old would be worth
half as much; certainly copy of Burns
printed in 1925 must be worth, say
$1,000" One old lady, suffering from
sciatica, and desirous of spending some
months at Mount Clemens, decided to part
with her copy for that amount. She
wrote: "My copy of Burns belonged to
my grandfather. 1t is of 1925 edition.
