22136	Pray, Mr Surtees,said the great man,"do you think that any other undergraduate in the college would have taken that liberty?"
22136	Was not that then an awful wasting of his substance on vanities?
22136	What had the brother paid for that bauble[ a picture by Wouvermans], for instance?
22136	You fool,was the reply,"is that any reason why you should go to hell?"
22136	''No, thank you, sir; I have ordered a bit of supper; perhaps you will walk up with me?''
22136	A nervous inquiry in later years, if he heard of any guest being expected, was,"He, or she, will not meddle with me, will he?"

44360	Is n''t that a lovely sentiment?

44360	Is it so with us?
44360	Is it want of fortune, then, that is ignominious?
44360	Is she not then free?
44360	It may be some time before it is worth what I paid for it, or the price may look cheap to- morrow-- who shall say?
44360	May we not suppose that several bottles of"Old Hock"contributed to his enjoyment of this occasion?
44360	Might not such frequent and public executions have a bad effect upon public taste and morals?
44360	Now, what is my copy worth?

44360	The letter reads: DEAR MISS KELLY,-- If your Bones are not engaged on Monday night, will you favor us with the use of them?
44360	Then, suddenly remembering his old friend in New York, he asked,"What sort of a copy was it?"
44360	To what purpose make a disclosure of this kind to your banker?
44360	True, but what of it?
44360	Was it not agreed between them that she was to die first?
44360	Was it unlikely that Miss Kelly, who would see the criticism, would hear the voice and recognize it as Lamb''s?
44360	Was the price high?
44360	Was there ever a more wonderful gallery of portraits?

22716	But as she seemed so proud of her achievement, could she be induced to part with the precious tome?
22716	But is it a matter for so much pride after all?
22716	But there is another immediate consideration:_ shall it have notes?_ And this raises such a momentous point that I almost hesitate to approach it.
22716	But this brings up again the old question,''May we not do what we like with our own volumes?''
22716	But what constitutes a bargain from the collector''s point of view?
22716	But what of the many hours of leisure in every man''s life, when no mental recreation is needed?
22716	But who has not suffered under the tedious and tiresome verbosity of editors?

22716	Have novels been our reading hitherto?
22716	Have they not taught us, guided us, advised us, soothed us, and amused us from our youth up?
22716	Have you ever taken into your hands some choice gem of your collection without wishing that there were others in your library of the same genus?
22716	How long would such a tiny volume, with its 130 thin paper leaves, bear the rough and greasy handling of chefs and''pastissiers''?
22716	How then shall we start to make acquaintance with these classics?
22716	How then should he have approached the subject?
22716	If you read at all, why not read good healthy stuff, which will be of permanent use to you in your journey through the world?
22716	In its contents?
22716	In its scarcity, then?
22716	Is it a particular knowledge of a certain subject?
22716	Is it but curiosity to know how others have passed their lives, mere idle inquisitiveness?
22716	Is it necessary, however, or indeed wise, that any man''s mental pabulum should consist entirely of novels?

22716	Is your purse a light one?
22716	Is your purse a long one?
22716	Must they be re- bound in leather or cloth?
22716	Must we read them all?
22716	Or is it that we may store up in our minds what these great ones said and did upon occasions that may occur to us some day?
22716	Or was it the scene of some homeric combat_ seul à   seul_?
22716	Or who has explored the lumber accumulated in many a disused cellar within a quarter of a mile of the Mansion House?
22716	Perhaps, however, you too have been guilty of these lapses, reader?

22716	Surely his reading of these dubious memoirs has been a most mistaken course and a lamentable waste of time?
22716	Surely no man is such a giant among his fellows that he may allow the life- works of the greatest geniuses of this world to be spurned underfoot?

22716	Why devour garbage when rich meats are constantly about you?
22716	Why is it that biography has such a peculiar fascination for most men?
22716	Why is it that we all have some acquaintance at least with the Arabian Nights?
22716	Why not?
22716	Why this extraordinary difference in price?
22716	Why?''
22716	With what books shall we begin, with what continue?

28540	A little volume of indescribable rarity 12 15 0 221 Arnold''s Chronicle, 4to., printed at Antwerp, by Doesborch( 1502)?
28540	After such an account, what bibliomaniac can enjoy perfect tranquillity of mind unless he possess a_ Grollier copy_ of some work or other?
28540	Ah, well- a- day!--have I not come to the close of my BOOK- HISTORY?
28540	Alas, madam!--why are you so unreasonable?
28540	Alas, when will all these again come under the hammer at one sale?!
28540	Am I to talk for ever?
28540	And do you imagine that no one, but yourself, has his pockets"lined with pistoles,"on these occasions?
28540	And of this latter who can possibly entertain a doubt?
28540	And pray what are these?
28540	And when they tell ought, what delight can be in those things that be so plain and foolish lies?
28540	And why not?
28540	Are there any other bibliomaniacs of distinction yet to notice?
28540	Are we as successful in printing upon vellum as were our forefathers?
28540	Are you accustomed to attend book- auctions?
28540	Are you then an enemy to booksellers, or to their catalogues when interlaced with bibliographical notices?
28540	At what bookseller''s shop, or at what auction, are they to be procured?
28540	But I suppose you would not object to be set right upon any subject of which you are ignorant or misinformed?
28540	But I suspect you exaggerate?
28540	But am I to be satisfied with the possession of those works already recommended?
28540	But bibliography has never been, till now, a popular( shall I say fashionable?)
28540	But can not you resume this conversation on the morrow?
28540	But can you properly place Erasmus in the list?
28540	But does he atone for his sad error by being liberal in the loan of his volumes?
28540	But first tell us-- why are these copies so much coveted?
28540	But had we not better speak of the book ravages, during the reformation, in their proper place?"
28540	But have I not discoursed sufficiently?
28540	But have you quite done, dear Lysander?
28540	But how may this heat be brought again?
28540	But it must have been obtained in the golden age of book- collecting?
28540	But our friend is not forgetful of his promise?
28540	But what becomes of the English, Spanish, and Italian bibliographers all this while?
28540	But what can be said in defence of the dissolute lives of the monks?
28540	But what has a BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ROMANCE to do with_ Love_ and_ Marriage_?
28540	But what has become of Ashmole all this while?
28540	But what is become, in the while, of the English, Italian, and Spanish bibliographers-- in the seventeenth century?
28540	But what is to be done?
28540	But what is to be done?
28540	But what shall we say to Lord Shaftesbury''s eccentric neighbour, HENRY HASTINGS?
28540	But where shall we begin?
28540	But why are we about to make learned dissertations upon the old English Chronicles?
28540	But why is perfection to be expected, where every thing must necessarily be imperfect?
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	Can any eyes be so jaundiced as to prefer volumes printed in this crabbed, rough, and dismal manner?
28540	Can it be possible?
28540	Can such a declaration, from such a character, be credited?
28540	Can the enlightened reader want further proof of the existence of the BIBLIOMANIA in the nunnery of Godstow?
28540	Can these things be?
28540	Can you find it in your heart, dear brother, to part with your black- letter Chronicles, and Hakluyt''s Voyages, for these new publications?
28540	Can you introduce me to him?"
28540	Come a short half hour, and who, unless the moon befriend him, can see the outline of the village church?
28540	Did Geyler allude to such bibliomaniacs in the following sentence?
28540	Did you ever read the inscription over the outside of my library door-- which I borrowed from Lomeir''s account of one over a library at Parma?
28540	Did''st ever hear, Lisardo, of one WILLIAM THYNNE?
28540	Do pray tell me what it is you wish me to go on with?
28540	Do they contain more than the ordinary ones?
28540	Do you frankly forgive-- and will you henceforth consider me as a worth[ Transcriber''s Note: worthy]"_ Aspirant_"in the noble cause of bibliography?
28540	Do you mean to have it inferred that there were no collections, of value or importance, which were sold in the mean time?
28540	Does he ever quote Clement, De Bure, or Panzer?
28540	Does not this recital chill your blood with despair?
28540	Does this madness''Grow with our growth, and strengthen with our strength?''
28540	Dr. R(awlinson, qu.?)
28540	First, therefore, what is meant by LARGE PAPER COPIES?
28540	For heaven''s sake, into what society are we introduced, sister?
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	Had you not better confine yourself to personal anecdote, rather than enter into the boundless field of historical survey?
28540	Has the reader ever seen the same primate''s copy of the_ Aldine Aristophanes_, 1498, in the same place?
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	Have you nothing else, in closing this symptomatic subject, to discourse upon?
28540	Have you recovered, Sir, the immense fatigue you must have sustained from the exertions of yesterday?
28540	Have you the conscience to ask for more?
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	Is this an episode?
28540	Is this digressive?
28540	Is''t not so, Lisardo?
28540	It is unluckily printed upon wretched paper-- but who rejects the pine- apple from the roughness of its coat?
28540	Let_ half_ of another similar course of time roll on, and where will the SURVIVORS be?
28540	Look at your old romances, and what is the system of education-- of youthful pursuits-- which they in general inculcate?
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	They have likewise been made use of by several in part, but how much more complete had this been, had it been finished by himself?"
28540	To what?
28540	To whom do such gems belong?"
28540	Upon condition that you promise not to interrupt me again this evening?
28540	Upon what principle,_ a priori_, are we to ridicule and condemn it?
28540	Upwards of thirty guineas?
28540	Was Captain Sw- n, a Prisoner on Parole, to be catechised?
28540	Was Captain Sw----n a Prisoner on Parole, to be catechised?
28540	Was Wright''s the only collection disposed of at this period, which was distinguished for its dramatic treasures?
28540	Was not this( think you) a good mean to live chaste?
28540	Was there ever a more provoking blunder?!]
28540	We admit Vitruvius, Inigo Jones, Gibbs, and Chambers, into our libraries: and why not Mr. Hope''s book?
28540	We have heard of De Thou and Colbert, but who is GROLLIER?
28540	Weary!?
28540	What are become of Malvolio''s busts and statues, of which you were so solicitous to attend the sale, not long ago?
28540	What are become of our bibliomaniacal heroes?
28540	What can there possibly be in a large paper copy of a_ Catalogue of Books_ which merits the appellation of"nobleness"and"richness?"
28540	What can you say in defence of your times of beloved chivalry?
28540	What countenances are those which beam with so much quiet, but interesting, expression?
28540	What defects do you discover here, Lysander?
28540	What does the reader think of 2000 chickens, 4000 pigeons, 4000 coneys, 500"and mo,"stags, bucks, and roes, with 4000"pasties of venison colde?"
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 has become of the said Dr. Kenrick now?
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	What was to be expected, but that boys, thus educated, would hereafter fall victims to the BIBLIOMANIA?]
28540	What would we not give for an authenticated representation of Dean Colet in his library,[295] surrounded with books?
28540	When and how do you propose going?
28540	When does my Lord Brougham_ really_ mean to reform the law?
28540	Where are we digressing?
28540	Where sleep now the relics of DYSON''S Library, which supplied that_ Helluo Librorum_, Richard Smith, with"most of his rarities?
28540	Which is the next symptom that you have written down for me to discourse upon?
28540	Which of these is indicative of the_ true_ edition?
28540	Who is that gentleman, standing towards the right of the auctioneer, and looking so intently upon his catalogue?
28540	Who is the next bibliomaniac deserving of particular commendation?
28540	Who is this Marcus?
28540	Who shall hence doubt of the propriety of classing Ascham among the most renowned bibliomaniacs of the age?]
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	Why this abrupt interruption?
28540	Will not such volcanic fury burn out in time?
28540	Will the same friend display equal fickleness in regard to THIS volume?
28540	Will this word"re- animate his clay?"
28540	With what?
28540	Yet further intelligence?"
28540	Yet what could justify the cruelty of dragging this piece of private absurdity before the public tribunal, on the death of its author?
28540	Yet what has he not_ produced_ since that representation of his person?
28540	Yet, who was surrounded by a larger troop of friends than the Individual who raised the Monument?
28540	You allude to a late sale in Pall Mall, of one of the choicest and most elegant libraries ever collected by a man of letters and taste?
28540	You allude to the STRAWBERRY HILL Press?
28540	You are averse then to the study of bibliography?
28540	You are full of book anecdote of Elizabeth: but do you forget her schoolmaster, ROGER ASCHAM?
28540	You did not probably bid ten guineas for it, Lisardo?
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?
28540	You wished for these books, to_ set fire_ to them perhaps-- keeping up the ancient custom so solemnly established by your father?
28540	]: from which will he obtain the clearer notions?
28540	_ Where_ will you look for such books?
28540	a place upon his shelf?
28540	and Elizabeth, paid in proportion for the volumes of_ their_ Libraries?
28540	and if so, has Mr. Hope illustrated it properly?
28540	and set them to sale:''Magno conatu nihil agimus,''& c.''Quis tam avidus librorum helluo,''who can read them?
28540	and, if so, are works, which treat of these only, to be read and applauded?
28540	by one John Southern?
28540	goods?
28540	l.?
28540	of the editor''s taste, than the ensuing representation of a pilgrim Hawker?
28540	or suppose something similar to Mr. Hope''s work had been found among the ruins of Herculaneum?
28540	said the king,''is it possible we shall behold yet more rarities?''
28540	what they sold for?
28540	when will such gems again glitter at one sale?
28540	which you have in your possession?''
28540	which, collectively, did not produce 35_l._--but which now, would have been sold for----!?
