28540 | But why so suddenly silent, gentlemen? |
28540 | But why so warm upon the subject? |
28540 | But you promise to commence your_ symptomatic_ harangue on the morrow? |
28540 | But you promise to renew the subject afterwards? |
28540 | But you promise, when you revisit the library, not to behave so naughtily again? |
28540 | But, Philemon, consider with what grace could this charge come from HIM who had"shed innocent blood,"to gratify his horrid lusts? |

28540 | From what period shall we take up the history of BOOKISM( or, if you please, BIBLIOMANIA) in this country? |
28540 | From what you say, it would appear to be wiser to lay out one''s money at a bookseller''s than at a book- auction? |
28540 | Good news, I trust? |
28540 | Good!--even good-- Robin- hood? |

28540 | Have we any other symptom to notice? |
28540 | Have we here no patriotic spirit similar to that which influenced the Francises, Richlieus, Colberts, and Louises of France? |
28540 | Have you many such characters to notice? |

28540 | He afterwards came to himself, and demanded whether or not the king had arrived? |
28540 | He replied,''But, Sir, shall I not now have it with me?'' |
28540 | How can I, therefore, after the fatigues of the whole of yesterday, and with barely seven hours of daylight yet to follow, pretend to enter upon it? |
28540 | How do you feel? |
28540 | How is this? |
28540 | How shall I talk of thee, and of thy wonderful collection, O RARE RICHARD FARMER? |
28540 | How so? |
28540 | I have no doubt that there was a_ presentation_ copy printed UPON VELLUM; but in what cabinet does this precious gem now slumber?] |
28540 | I hear him exclaim--"Where is this treasure now to be found?" |
28540 | I hope you forgive her, Lysander? |
28540 | I suppose, then, that Bagford, Murray, and Hearne, were not unknown to this towering bibliomaniac? |
28540 | I suspect that, like many dashing artists, you are painting for_ effect_? |
28540 | I think HENDERSON''S[397] library was sold about this time? |
28540 | I will make a memorandum to try to secure this"comical"piece, as you call it; but has it never been reprinted in our"_ Corpora Poetarum Anglicorum_?" |
28540 | If I mistake not, I observe the mild and modest countenance of my old acquaintance, HERBERT, in this bibliographical group of heads? |
28540 | If it be said-- why"draw his frailties from their drear abode?" |
28540 | In each of these instances, should we have heard the harsh censures which have been thrown out against it? |
28540 | Is THOMAS RAWLINSON[375] so particularly deserving of commendation, as a bibliomaniac? |
28540 | Is decoration to be confined only to the exterior? |
28540 | Is not my reason good?" |
28540 | Is that so formidable? |
28540 | Is there any other passion, or fancy, in the book- way, from which we may judge of Bibliomaniacism? |

28540 | Mercy on us-- what is this_ Burr_?! |
28540 | Most true; but, in my humble opinion, most ridiculous; for what can a sensible man desire beyond the earliest and best editions of a work? |
28540 | My question, yesterday evening, was-- if I remember well-- whether a_ mere collector_ of books was necessarily a bibliomaniac? |
28540 | No; but I will line my pockets with pistoles, and who dare oppose me? |
28540 | Now a- days, the last article alone would pr duce[ Transcriber''s Note: produce]--shall I say_ nine_ times the sum of the whole? |
28540 | Now let any man, in his sober senses, imagine what must have been the number of volumes contained in the library of the above- named THOMAS RAWLINSON? |
28540 | Now pray, Sir, inform us what is meant by that strange term, UNCUT COPIES? |
28540 | Now, my friends, what have you to say against the_ English_ system of education? |
28540 | Now, tell me who is yonder strange looking gentleman? |
28540 | Of Padaloup, De Rome, and Baumgarten, where is the fine collection that does not boast of a few specimens? |
28540 | Of SIR THOMAS MORE,[296] where is the schoolboy that is ignorant? |
28540 | Of what do you suppose he would have informed us, had he indulged this bibliographical gossipping? |
28540 | On collationnoit ensuite pour vérifier s''il n''y avoit ni transposition, ni omission de feuilles ou de pages?!!'' |
28540 | Or, is not_ that_ the most deserving of commendation which produces the most numerous and pleasing associations of ideas? |
28540 | Or, open the beautiful volumes of the late interesting translation of Monstrelet, and what is almost the very first thing which meets your eye? |
28540 | Passe, with thirty- two Englishes[ qu? |
28540 | Perhaps you will go on with the mention of some distinguished patrons''till you arrive at that period? |
28540 | Perhaps, Three Hundred Guineas? |
28540 | Pray consider what will be the issue of this madness? |
28540 | Pray inform us what are the means of cure in this disorder? |
28540 | Quis enim in tanta multitudine rerum et librorum omnia exhauriret? |
28540 | Quis non alicubi impingeret? |
28540 | Quis putet esse Deos? |
28540 | Quis salvum ab invidia caput retraheret, ac malignitatis dentes in liberiore censura evitaret? |
28540 | Shakspeare, surely, could never have meant to throw such"physic"as this"to the dogs?!" |
28540 | Shew me in what respect the gallant spirit of an ancient knight was hostile to the cultivation of the belles- lettres? |
28540 | Skelton and Roy are in my library;[316] but who is RAMSAY? |
28540 | Speak-- are you about to announce the sale of some bibliographical works? |
28540 | Such a collection, sold at the present day-- when there is such a"_ qui vive_"for the sort of literature which it displays-- what would it produce? |
28540 | Suppose we had found such a treatise in the volumes of Gronovius and Montfaucon? |
28540 | Surely he knew something about books? |
28540 | Tell me-- are bibliographers usually thus eloquent? |
28540 | Tell us, good Lysander, what can you possibly mean by the_ seventh symptom_ of the Bibliomania, called TRUE EDITIONS? |
28540 | The Clementine and Florentine museums? |
28540 | The Spira Virgil of 1470, UPON VELLUM, will alone confer celebrity upon the_ first_ catalogue-- but what shall we say to the_ second_? |
28540 | The leaves"discourse most eloquently"as you turn them over: and what sound, to the ears of a thorough bred bibliomaniac, can be more"musical?"] |
28540 | The reader may, perhaps, wish for this,"coronation dinner?" |
28540 | The science( dare I venture upon so magnificent a word?) |
28540 | The weather will probably be fine, and let us enjoy a morning_ conversazione_ in THE ALCOVE? |
28540 | Then, reading the title- page, he said,''What is this? |
28540 | There is at present no reprint of either; and can I afford to bid ten or twelve guineas for each of them at a public book- sale? |

28540 | What gracious figures are those which approach to salute us? |
28540 | What has become of Wyatt and Surrey-- and when shall we reach Leland and Bale? |

28540 | What have we here? |
28540 | What have we to do more with him than with the great Calypha of Damascus? |
28540 | What is his name? |
28540 | What is the meaning of this odd symptom? |
28540 | What other ills have you to enumerate, which assail the region of literature?" |
28540 | What say you? |
28540 | What should I do with such books? |
28540 | What should I rehearse here, what a bunch of BALLADS AND SONGS, all ancient? |
28540 | What should he do? |
28540 | What should now be done? |
28540 | What think you of such a ridiculous passion in the book- way? |

28540 | Who that has seen how frequently his name is affixed to Dedications, can disbelieve that Cecil was a LOVER OF BOOKS? |
28540 | Who will accompany me? |
28540 | Why does such indifference to the cause of general learning exist-- and in the 19th century too? |
28540 | Why have I delayed, to the present moment, the mention of that illustrious bibliomaniac, EARL PEMBROKE? |

28540 | You do n''t mean to sport_ hereditary_ aversions, or hereditary attachments? |
28540 | You have all talked loudly and learnedly of the BOOK- DISEASE; but I wish to know whether a_ mere collector_ of books be a bibliomaniac? |
28540 | You have called the reign of Henry the Seventh the AUGUSTAN- BOOK- AGE; but, surely, this distinction is rather due to the æra of Queen Elizabeth? |
28540 | You observe, my friends, said I, softly, yonder active and keen- visaged gentleman? |
28540 | You remember what Cowper says-- God made the country, and Man made the town? |
