44890 | And who was this unknown designer, this painter of bold conceptions, whose work is complete in little nothings? |
44890 | Another question presents itself: Did the old printers employ casting, or did they print directly from the wood block itself? |
44890 | Are we to suppose, that duplicates of blocks passed between France and Germany, or was a copy made by a French designer? |
44890 | But what can be said to- day of these people? |
44890 | Had he completed it by applying to it the matrix and punch which had then and for centuries served the makers of seals and the money- coiners? |
44890 | However, what had become of engraving by cutting in reverse, the figure in relief, from which printing could be done? |
44890 | In other words, the block having been cut, did they make with it a mould into which melted metal could be poured to obtain a more resistant relief? |
44890 | In the middle of this turmoil, what became of the obscure persons who were then the printers of the Bible? |
44890 | Is it that they found there the descendants of Laurent Coster firmly established in their workshops? |

44890 | Must the coexistence, the simultaneous advance, of the invention in Germany and in the Low Countries be admitted? |
44890 | Now in the situation in which Gutenberg found himself, in the face of his rivals, had he not some claim to regard the great discovery as his own? |
44890 | This was true before, but after? |
44890 | Was it John Gaensefleisch, called Gutenberg, or possibly John Fust? |
44890 | Were not these engravers on wood printers themselves: the Commins, Guyot Marchants, Pierre Lecarrons, Jean Trepperels, and others? |
44890 | What better proof could be wished of the communion of ideas and tastes between the two collectors? |
44890 | When and where was this discovery produced? |
44890 | Who was this John? |
44890 | [ A] What would have become of this new process if the presses of Gutenberg had not brought their powerful assistance to the printing of engravings? |

44810 | Yes,returned Eugene disparagingly,"they work, but do n''t you think they overdo it? |
44810 | _ Where shall we adventure, to- day that we''re afloat, Wary of the weather, and steering by a star? 44810 ''Could I by any possibility procure a commissionaire to carry a note for me? 44810 7_ Where are my friends? |
44810 | A dinner guest? |
44810 | And how should a poor girl be likely to know That the Devil''s so gallant and gay, mother? |

44810 | And''Pretty one, whither away? |
44810 | Brantwood,_ 3rd Nov. or 4th(? |
44810 | But why did ye tell me, and why did they say, That the Devil''s a horrible blackamoor? |
44810 | First and foremost, then, who now reads Byron? |
44810 | Has he, or can he have, taken huff at anything? |
44810 | He Black- faced and horrible? |
44810 | He takes her into one of those sugar- candy, preserved fruit, ice, and pastry shops which abound, and asks her tenderly what she''ll have? |
44810 | His works rest on the shelves, it is true, but are they ever opened, except to verify a quotation? |
44810 | I would ask, where can you see finer workmanship than Mr. Joseph W. Zaehnsdorf puts into his enchanting covers? |

36764 | And could that auburn hair grow gray, And wrinkles line thy face? |
36764 | And didst thou marry, or art thou Still of the spinster tribe? |
36764 | And hath thy lot been like to mine, Or pinched and bare and sore? |
36764 | And so when asked if book- collecting pays, I retort by asking, does piety pay? |
36764 | But if a club of fifteen girls determine to read a book, do they buy fifteen copies? |
36764 | Do grandsons round thy hearthstone play, Or dost thou end thy race? |
36764 | Do they buy five copies? |
36764 | How many of the first edition men know of the interesting fact narrated by Mr. Crowe? |
36764 | In this age of historic doubt and iconoclasm, are not the heroes of our favorite romances much more real than those of history? |
36764 | Is not the first printed book still the finest ever printed? |
36764 | Lucrezia, of the poisoned cup, Why do you shrink away by stealth? |
36764 | Oh, why do you elude me so-- Ye portraits that so long I''ve sought? |
36764 | Perchance thou art a widow now, Steeled against second bribe? |
36764 | Show forth your face, Anonymous, Whose name is in the books I con Most frequently; so famous thus, Will you not come to me anon? |

36764 | What knows he of the joys of the tramper in the forest, who stalks the deer, or scares up smaller game, singly, and has to work hard for his bag? |
36764 | Which is the real world, that of history or that of fiction? |
36764 | Why should I haunt a purling stream, Or fish in miasmatic brook? |
36764 | Why should I jolt upon a horse And after wretched vermin roam, When I can choose an easier course With Fox and Hare and Hunt at home? |
36764 | Why should I scratch my precious skin By crawling through a hawthorne hedge, When Hawthorne, raking up my sin, Stands tempting on the nearest ledge? |

23754 | And what was it? |
23754 | And why go to a man and urge him to buy a book he does not want? |
23754 | Anything new?" |
23754 | But do all the one hundred worthy and elect books receive correct treatment according to the tenets of criticism? |
23754 | But one inquiring mind broke in with the question,"But can you make a profit on it?" |
23754 | But, you insist, how does a buyer form a judgment of the number of copies to buy if he does not read the book? |

23754 | Is it for the distinctly literary? |
23754 | Is it purposed to appeal to a certain religious class of people? |
23754 | It may be asked, why does such a method exist? |
23754 | It may then properly be asked where the valuable books come from, and how are they obtained? |
23754 | Somebody wants them, can they be obtained by advertising for them or otherwise? |

41230 | What have I done? |
41230 | --I hear you cry, And writhe beneath some critic''s eye;''What did I want?'' |
41230 | 1885._ Missal of the Gothic age, Missal with the blazoned page, Whence, O Missal, hither come, From what dim scriptorium? |
41230 | Ah, who can say that even this blade of grass No mission has-- superfluous as it looks? |
41230 | And big are my eyes, and my heart''s a- beat; And my whole soul''s lost-- in what?--who knows? |
41230 | And for the Holy Bible there, It greets us with mild teaching; Though no one its contents may hear, Does it not go on preaching? |
41230 | And what the charm that can such health distil From wither''d leaves-- oft poisons in their bloom? |
41230 | And who can say That life would be quite the same life to- day-- That Love would mean so much, if she Had not taught me its A B C? |
41230 | As thus they lie upon the shelves, Such wisdom in their pages, Do they rehearse it to themselves, Or rest like silent sages? |
41230 | But its contents? |
41230 | But what strange art, what magic can dispose The troubled mind to change its native woes? |
41230 | But which take with me, could I take but one? |
41230 | But who are these? |
41230 | But who the shelter''s forc''d to give? |
41230 | Friend, do not Heber and De Thou, And Scott, and Southey, kind and wise,_ La chasse au bouquin_ still pursue Within that Bookman''s Paradise? |
41230 | Gives not the teeming press a book too much-- Not one, but in its dense neglect shall find Some needful heart to touch? |
41230 | How am I to sing your praise, Happy chimney- corner days, Sitting safe in nursery nooks, Reading picture story- books? |
41230 | I do not say so, companion mine, For what, without it, would I be here? |
41230 | Is any one jealous, I wonder, now, Of my love for Perdita? |
41230 | Is it all needed for the varied mind? |
41230 | Is it the myriad spawn of vagrant tides, Whose growth would overwhelm both sea and shore, Yet often necessary loss, provides Sufficient and no more? |
41230 | Is it then right to dream the sirens sing? |
41230 | On earth below, in heaven above, Is there anything better than woman''s love? |
41230 | One book we know such fun invokes, As well were worth the telling: Must it not chuckle o''er the jokes That it is ever spelling? |
41230 | Or lead us, willing from ourselves, to see Others more wretched, more undone than we? |

41230 | What gives this beauty to the grave? |
41230 | What more can I require of thee? |
41230 | What though the prints be not so bright, The paper dark, the binding slight? |
41230 | What thought so wild, what airy dream so light, That will not prompt a theorist to write? |
41230 | What wonder, as he paced from shelf to shelf, And conned their titles, that the squire began, Despite his ignorance, to think himself A learned man? |
41230 | Where fade away and placidly expire? |
41230 | Wherefore thine own foul form shap''st thou with envious toil? |
41230 | With Fiction then does real joy reside, And is our reason the delusive guide? |
41230 | With such a stock as seemingly surpassed The best collection ever formed in Spain, What wonder if the owner grew at last Supremely vain? |
41230 | _ Do they live?_ If so, believe me, TIME hath made them pure. |
41230 | _ From''Wide- Awake''for May, 1885._ Within these solemn, book- lined walls, Did mortal ever see A critic so unprejudiced, So full of mirthful glee? |
41230 | magic verse inscribed on golden gate; And bloody hand that beckons on to fate:--"And who art thou, thou little page, unfold? |
41230 | wert thou born for the evil thou workest? |
22606 | Who spoils our new English books? |
22606 | Are our publishers willing that these should be clothed according to their station? |
22606 | Are some of them so bad that they ought to be rejected_ in toto_? |
22606 | Are the newspapers, for instance, right as to length of line and the books as to size of type, as many suppose? |
22606 | But at what point in the history of English literature would reformed spelling begin to work harm? |
22606 | But can we call a man good to himself who does not avail himself of advantages that are freely open to him and that others about him are embracing? |
22606 | But what are the steps in the descent from these ancient pictures to the printed book? |
22606 | But what is the use to the public of this knowledge and enjoyment of ours? |
22606 | But what of color-- splendid initials in red, blue, or green, rubricated headings, lines, or paragraphs? |
22606 | But who is there that has not tasted the joy of discovering a great book that seemed written for himself alone? |
22606 | But, having not the desire to read, but only a sense that he ought to have it, what shall a student do? |
22606 | But, questions a listener, do books ever really affect people like this? |
22606 | Could there be any clearer call for the reform of our letters? |
22606 | Do they vary greatly in legibility? |
22606 | Do you know all the elements that you deal with and can you handle them with a sure touch practically and esthetically? |
22606 | Go, little book, whose pages hold Those garnered years in loving trust; How long before your blue and gold Shall fade and whiten in the dust? |
22606 | Has each size of type a length of line normal to it? |
22606 | Has there ever been a final"Don Quixote"? |
22606 | How are you going to meet it? |
22606 | How can a man tap the unknown resources, be they great or small, of his unconscious self? |
22606 | How is this affected by leading, or is leading merely of imaginary value? |
22606 | How long will a bad habit stand such an assault upon itself as the evening and morning practice of Forethought? |
22606 | How shall we approach the reading of them? |
22606 | How stands the cause of reading there? |
22606 | How would it seem possible to reissue a printed book, copy it exactly, and yet make an atrocious blunder? |
22606 | If so, can we trace the direction to be followed in seeking further improvement? |
22606 | In the generation that has succeeded these experiments have we made any progress in adapting print to eyes along the lines of these conclusions? |
22606 | In view of this prodigious literary output, what progress can the reader hope to make in"keeping up with the new books"? |
22606 | Is all this wholly a matter of reading? |
22606 | Is it any wonder that in progress, wealth, and influence the one community starts where the other leaves off? |
22606 | Is it not after all a fruitless piece of self- indulgence? |
22606 | Is the blackest black on the whitest white better, for instance, than blue- black on buff- white, and how much? |
22606 | Is the fault one of race, or government, or religion? |
22606 | Is the resultant more beautiful than the spotless original? |
22606 | Is the treasure in question one that moth and rust can corrupt or that thieves can break through and steal? |
22606 | Is there any difference as regards legibility between antique and medium plate finish, and which is better and by what percentage? |
22606 | Is white on black not better than black on white, and, if so, in what exact degree? |
22606 | It is easy to represent a house, but how shall we represent a home? |
22606 | It is easy to represent a woman, but how shall we add the idea of wife? |
22606 | Mr. Stevens now comes to the direct question: Who spoils our new English books? |
22606 | On showing the book to Henry Stevens, the bookseller, the latter, glancing at a page, inquired,"Why pap_a_r instead of pap_e_r?" |
22606 | Or is the real solution to be found in some other color contrast as yet untried? |
22606 | Or shall we say that they soon forgot their proper subordination to the type and have since kept up a more or less open revolt? |
22606 | Shall we find in any of these homes a daily or a weekly paper, or a monthly magazine, or even a stray book? |
22606 | Shall we therefore change our book material twenty times in the next twenty thousand years? |
22606 | THE STUDENT AND THE LIBRARY What does a student of five and twenty years ago still remember of his college? |
22606 | Taking the service of printing as it stands to- day, what does it actually do for the reader? |
22606 | There is another test, which is really a part of this: Can you share it without loss? |

22606 | What then are some of the points that we may call in science to settle? |
22606 | What to them was progress in other lands, or the claims of a future that could not be enforced? |
22606 | What was the process? |
22606 | What, for instance, could be more illogical than to make a book any thicker than strength and convenience require? |
22606 | What, therefore, shall be the typography of books that we love, that we know by heart? |
22606 | Where shall the student find such a guide? |
22606 | Who can tell what is the normal length of line for legibility, or whether there is one, and whether there is an ideal size of type, or what it is? |
22606 | Who ever saw Mr. Updike''s specimen pages for an edition of the"Imitatio Christi,"in old English type, without a desire to possess the completed work? |

22608 | Well-- Savage''s? |

22608 | A? |
22608 | An eminent librarian of one of the largest libraries was asked whether he did not find a great deal of time to read? |
22608 | And of the books which go a second time to the binder, although at first uncut, how many retain their fair proportions of margin when they come back? |
22608 | And what of the newspaper? |
22608 | But here comes in the problem-- can the requisite authority to lay the tax be secured? |
22608 | But how many books do we see always bulging open at the sides, or stiffly resisting being opened by too great tightness in the back? |
22608 | But the question returns upon us-- what is wholesome food? |
22608 | But, when your insurance office is bankrupt, what becomes of the insured? |
22608 | By which method of notation will the library messenger boys or girls soonest find the book? |
22608 | Can one guess be said to be any nearer the fact than the other? |

22608 | Do you, in your search, take up every book in that mass, to scrutinize its title, and see if it is the one you seek? |
22608 | Does not this bespeak laxity of public morals in Boston in regard to such abuses of library property? |
22608 | Dost ask what book creates such heavenly thought? |
22608 | His daily business being learning, why should he not in time, become learned? |
22608 | How can a dyspeptic who dwells in the darkness of a disease, be a guiding light to the multitudes who beset him every hour? |
22608 | How often do you leave out a word in your writing experience, which may change the meaning of a whole sentence? |
22608 | How then, you may ask, is a weak memory to be strengthened, or a fairly good memory to be cultivated into a better one? |
22608 | I may instance the Mazarin Bible of Gutenberg and Schoeffer( 1455?) |
22608 | If there is a city charter, does it empower the municipal authorities( city council or aldermen) to levy such a tax? |
22608 | If these books were sentient beings, and could speak, would they not say--"our sufferings are intolerable?" |
22608 | If we have international patent right, why not international copyright? |
22608 | In view of the valuable monopoly conceded by the public, does not the government in effect give far more than a_ quid pro quo_ for the copy- tax? |

22608 | It was but"A Modern Instance"Of true"Love''s Random Shot,"And I,"The Heir of Redclyffe"Was"Kidnapped": and"Why Not"? |
22608 | May we not be pardoned for treating all estimates as utterly fallacious that are not based upon known facts and figures? |

22608 | Of what consequence is the size of a book to any one, except to the searcher who has to find it on the shelves? |
22608 | One of the most common and most inconsiderate questions propounded to a librarian is this:"Do you ever expect to read all these books through?" |
22608 | Query-- What did she want? |
22608 | Shall we let him? |
22608 | Shall you refer then to the English Catalogue for its title? |
22608 | Suppose( as often happens) that you bind your pamphlet, does it then cease to be a pamphlet, and become a book? |
22608 | The first question that arises is, what are those means? |
22608 | The pride of dead and dawning years, How can a poet best repay The debt he owes your House to- day? |
22608 | The word is in Shakespeare:"Comest thou with deep premeditated lines, With written pamphlets studiously devised?" |
22608 | This is what is known as a"Dictionary catalogue"; but why is it preferable to any other? |

22608 | What time has he, wearied by the day''s multifarious and exacting labors, for any thorough study of books? |
22608 | Which of these two forms of expression is more quickly written, or stamped, or read? |
22608 | Who ever felt Miss Austen tame, or called Sir Walter slow? |
22608 | Who wants this bright young man? |
22608 | Who will say that the last form of title does not convey substantially all that is significant of the book, stripped of superfluous verbiage? |
22608 | Why do you do this? |
22608 | Why should they not be so? |
22608 | Why was this? |
22608 | Why? |
22608 | With one or two hundred thousand volumes as a basis, what but utter neglect can prevent a library from becoming a great and useful institution? |
22608 | Works without date, when the exact date is not found, are to be described conjecturally, thus:[ 1690?] |
22608 | and it is well answered by propounding another question, namely--"Did_ you_ ever read your dictionary through?" |
46609 | ''And what is the fruit? |

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----!? |
45417 | All right for me to shin up? |
45417 | All set? |
45417 | All set? |
45417 | An''Marse Joyce figured he''d beat it to Rooshia jes''as soon as he could put his han''s on de plans? |
45417 | And he let you go after you''d worked for him all that time? |
45417 | And how do you expect to do that without being nabbed right off the bat? |
45417 | And if your father really wrote a letter to you, and they knew it-- why did they wait nearly three months before they tried to steal it? |
45417 | And they would n''t believe you, eh? |
45417 | And what''s on the farther side of the Joyce property? |
45417 | And what''s the other? |
45417 | And what,asked the portly gentleman, coming at once to the point,"will you take for that motor, Miss Dixon?" |
45417 | And when you sight the historic mansion? |
45417 | And why did they start in using strong arm stuff right off the bat? |
45417 | And you want to come? 45417 And-- and you carried me all this way?" |
45417 | Are n''t hurt, are you? |
45417 | Are you deaf? |
45417 | Are you hurt, Bill? |
45417 | Are you just stubborn, or in your dotage? 45417 Betty, be- have, will you? |
45417 | Betty, you stay here, and--"And have them break in the back door while you two are in the front hall? 45417 But do n''t you see? |
45417 | But do n''t you think you''d better get out your revolver, Dorothy? 45417 But how come, Dorothy?" |
45417 | But how on earth can we find it in the dark? |
45417 | But how on earth-- did they say anything about the contents of the letter? |
45417 | But if Joyce was in business with Mr. Conway, why did n''t Stoker mention that? |
45417 | But is the rope long enough? |
45417 | But not so good on a rainy night, eh? 45417 But please tell me what it is you''re trying to find?" |
45417 | But suppose this one is? |
45417 | But suppose those men have come back? |
45417 | But tell me-- what did you do to that crew outside? |
45417 | But that does n''t get us anywhere, does it? |
45417 | But there is a way out? |
45417 | But what plans? |
45417 | But what''ll you do about my slicker, Bill? 45417 But what''s that rabbit got to do with our tracks?" |
45417 | But what''s the use of hangin''round? |
45417 | But what_ was_ Joyce after? |
45417 | But who is this Mr. Joyce you speak of, Uncle? |
45417 | But who''s going to wash all these dishes? |
45417 | But will the tree hold us both? 45417 But your wet clothes, Miss Dixon?" |
45417 | But-- suppose you are n''t able to get to a window? |
45417 | By the way, Mrs. Johnson, I wonder if we can trespass on your good humor still further? |
45417 | Can you run now? |
45417 | Catch anything? |
45417 | Count yourself out? 45417 D''you think I''d let_ Wispy_ mash up my best friend? |
45417 | Den yo''all knows Marse George? |
45417 | Did you bring some extra gas for_ Wispy_? |
45417 | Did you find the book he wanted? |
45417 | Did you get the police? |
45417 | Did you speak? |
45417 | Do n''t answer me back that way, do you hear? |
45417 | Do n''t tell me you can actually see to dodge these branches and tree trunks? |
45417 | Do you come from New Canaan? |
45417 | Do you happen to have an extra car that we could borrow for a few hours? |
45417 | Do you happen to have the copy that was sent you, here in the house? |
45417 | Do you know where Mr. Joyce and his men are now? |
45417 | Do you know where they are? |
45417 | Do you know who he is? |
45417 | Do you mind saying how much? |
45417 | Do you really think they''ve gone? |
45417 | Do you think I''m enjoying this? 45417 Do you think he really is mixed up with J. J. J. in this business?" |
45417 | Do you think it possible that old Lewis knew that your Father wrote you that letter-- and believes that it''s in this house? 45417 Do you think the letter Mr. Conway is supposed to have written Stoker could possibly have had anything to do with patents?" |
45417 | Do? 45417 Dollars?" |
45417 | Dorothy''s some little bargainer, ai n''t she? |
45417 | Everything all right? |
45417 | Going to call up Stoker? |
45417 | Got any ideas? |
45417 | Got your knitting and everything? 45417 Had n''t I better call in Marse Bill?" |
45417 | Had n''t I better carry it down the hill? |
45417 | Had n''t you better introduce your friends? 45417 Has Mr. Lewis ever spoken to you about it?" |
45417 | Has yo''all heard de news, Liza? |
45417 | Have you read it, Conway? |
45417 | He''s such a good- looking boy, too-- don''t tell me they''ve killed him or anything? |
45417 | Heard about you both-- who has n''t? 45417 Him and me both, eh? |
45417 | Ho-- how come I ca n''t do it, Abe? 45417 How about it, Uncle Abe? |
45417 | How about me? |
45417 | How about me? |
45417 | How about the chances we''ll take in breaking into Nearma? |
45417 | How about the coffee, Bill? |
45417 | How about the fame you won in the diamond smuggling case? 45417 How come Marse Bill was able ter build dat engin''? |
45417 | How come, uncle? |
45417 | How did you find out? |
45417 | How did you happen to go there last night? |
45417 | How did you know there was a river down in the valley? |
45417 | How do we get to it, Uncle? |
45417 | How do we know that friend Joyce has n''t got hold of Stoker and possibly Terry, too? |
45417 | How do you do it? |
45417 | How do you figure that? |
45417 | How do you get that way, Betty? 45417 How far does it go?" |
45417 | How in the world did you manage this? |
45417 | How many are still here? |
45417 | How safe? |
45417 | How should I know? |
45417 | How''s that? |
45417 | I said why keep the secret to yourself? 45417 I suppose you know the cook over there, Uncle?" |
45417 | I suppose you want me to open it? |
45417 | I wonder why Father did n''t tell me of those plans? |
45417 | In other words, why must you put in your foot every time you open your mouth? 45417 Is folks a- follerin''yo''chill''un?" |
45417 | Is n''t he perfectly sweet? |
45417 | Is n''t it terrible? |
45417 | Is that all clear? |
45417 | Is that you, Dorothy? |
45417 | Is there another way? |
45417 | Is your ladyship ready to go now? |
45417 | It''s about time we beat it over to Stoker''s, do n''t you think? |
45417 | It''s none of my particular business, of course, but would you mind telling me the reason for all this rough house? 45417 Jones''Aircraft Power Plants, was n''t it?" |
45417 | Joyce could n''t try to steal patents registered in Mr. Conway''s name, could he? |
45417 | Let''s see-- where was I? 45417 Look here, supper''s nearly ready, and since I''ve set everybody else to work, suppose I give you a job, too? |
45417 | Mind if I come in for a minute or two? |
45417 | Mr. Lewis, do you mind if I take it home with me? |
45417 | Must be what? |
45417 | Near ma? |
45417 | Nice lady- like reputation, what? |
45417 | No-- have you? |
45417 | Not afraid to stay here, are you? |
45417 | Not very subtle, were they? 45417 Obey orders?" |
45417 | Oh, is he? 45417 Oh, is that so? |
45417 | Oh, you do, do you? |
45417 | Oh,_ yeah_? |
45417 | Old Lewis? |
45417 | Open up, do you hear, River? 45417 Questions?" |
45417 | Right here? 45417 River? |
45417 | Say, are you crazy, or am I? |
45417 | Say, it''s great, the way you''ve pitched in here-- did you have a hard time finding things? |
45417 | See here, will you pipe down? |
45417 | So you think it was your tracks we followed? |
45417 | So you''d been surprised, eh? |
45417 | Some wonderworker, is n''t she? |
45417 | Surely you''re not going to show a light? |
45417 | Taking a--_warm_? |
45417 | That''s interesting-- wonder what he wants with George? |
45417 | That''s the question--_can_ we do anything? |
45417 | The letter is--? |
45417 | The one you saw, Terry? |
45417 | The super''s house is right across the reservation from here, if I recall rightly? |
45417 | The white one in the trees? |
45417 | Then who is? |
45417 | Think we''d better get back to the house? |
45417 | Think you can find the cart road? |
45417 | Think you could pilot us down there and give those guys in the woods the miss? |
45417 | Those guys below us know we''re up here, so what does it matter? |
45417 | Turn to the right? |
45417 | Uncle Abe,she said, looking straight into his shining eyes,"do you really like living up there in the woods, all by yourself?" |
45417 | Wat''s all dis I''m a- hearin''? |
45417 | We want some clothesline, to tie up these here nuisances-- an''if you do n''t cough some up right now-- I''ll bump you off, see? |
45417 | Well, I apologize for us all,Bill leaned across the table,"we were only kidding you-- weren''t we, Betty?" |
45417 | Well, Uncle? |
45417 | Well, are you game? |
45417 | Well, then you must have read about Mr. Bolton, here, too? 45417 Well, we''ve got to get off this reservation-- how are we going to do it?" |
45417 | Well, what of it? 45417 Well, what''s the dope?" |
45417 | Well, what''s the dope? |
45417 | Well, what''s the good word now, Dorothy? |
45417 | Well, why ca n''t you help me? |
45417 | Well, why do n''t you speak? |
45417 | Well-- what do you think we''ve run into-- a college houseparty or something? |
45417 | Well? |
45417 | Whar dey at? |
45417 | What I mean is, could you hear the bell ring in Stoker''s house? |
45417 | What I want to know,she said in conclusion,"is how they happened to catch you napping-- and what''s become of George Conway and Betty?" |
45417 | What are we going to do? |
45417 | What are you doing? |
45417 | What are you talking about? |
45417 | What are you trying to do, Bill, evade my question? |
45417 | What are you waiting for? |
45417 | What business is that of yours? |
45417 | What can I do for you? |
45417 | What can those people be after if it is n''t the patents on Mr. Conway''s inventions? |
45417 | What d''you take us for-- a pair of fools? 45417 What dey doin''uphyar in de woods at dis time o''night?" |
45417 | What did I tell you? |
45417 | What did his card say, I mean? |
45417 | What do you plan to do? 45417 What fo''yo''all chasin''dese hyar chillun in de woods?" |
45417 | What happened tonight, before we came? |
45417 | What if they wo n''t let us in? |
45417 | What is it you''re driving at? |
45417 | What is it? |
45417 | What kept you so long, Bill? |
45417 | What of it? 45417 What on earth is it?" |
45417 | What patents? |

45417 | What trails were you on? |
45417 | What tree? |
45417 | What''ll I do if it''s locked? |
45417 | What''s become of them? |
45417 | What''s that got to do with it? 45417 What''s the matter?" |
45417 | What''s the next move? |
45417 | What''s your big idea, Terry? |
45417 | What-- what are you afraid of, Dorothy? |
45417 | What-- what''s the matter? |
45417 | What? 45417 What?" |
45417 | Where am I? |
45417 | Where are the plans, and what has the book to do with them? |
45417 | Where are we? |
45417 | Where are your visitors? |
45417 | Where did all these swell eggs come from, Uncle? |
45417 | Where do they keep the bread box in this house, anyway? |
45417 | Where do we go from here? |
45417 | Where do you get this''we''stuff? |
45417 | Where do you suppose it goes? |
45417 | Where have that boy and girl gone to? |
45417 | Which one is that? |
45417 | Which way is that woodlot trail from here? |
45417 | Who are you-- and what do you want? |
45417 | Who dat? |
45417 | Who goes first? 45417 Who was that man, Uncle Abe?" |
45417 | Who won the game? |
45417 | Who would? |
45417 | Who''s there? |
45417 | Why are you so sure? |
45417 | Why do n''t you do something, Chick? |
45417 | Why not get them up here now? |
45417 | Why not? 45417 Why so sarcastic?" |
45417 | Why? 45417 Wonder who he''s working for?" |
45417 | Yeah? 45417 Yes, yes, what of it?" |
45417 | Yes? 45417 Yes?" |
45417 | You did? |
45417 | You do n''t know? 45417 You mean-- where we''re bound for?" |
45417 | You mean-- which he left to Stoker? |
45417 | You must be almost as good as Betty that is, I mean--"Who''s taking my name in vain? |
45417 | You say that his father and Mr. Joyce were friends-- that they had dealings of some sort together? |
45417 | You think they may still be in the offing? |
45417 | You think, then, that he sold them before his death? |
45417 | You''ve seen him before? |
45417 | _ George?_exploded Dorothy. |
45417 | _ He_ talked loud enough,--quite an old gentleman, is n''t he? |
45417 | _ We?_Dorothy''s tone was richly sarcastic. |
45417 | _ Where?_they cried in chorus. |
45417 | A cup of tea, now, to warm you up and some of these nice crisp crullers I made yesterday? |
45417 | All sereno here, I take it?" |
45417 | All set?" |
45417 | An''what do we use fer rope?" |
45417 | And I suppose, after being up here for nearly ten years, you can find your way about in those woods?" |
45417 | And how''s Betty tonight? |
45417 | And to be honest, how can you expect me to guess the right answers when you do n''t know them yourself? |
45417 | And what am I to do while you''re in the house mixing it up with those thugs? |
45417 | And what is my important work to consist of?" |
45417 | Answer me, ca n''t you?" |
45417 | Any place in this hotel where I can wash and slick up a bit, Uncle?" |
45417 | Bad night, is n''t it?" |
45417 | Been reading the British poets or something?" |
45417 | Bill Bolton, the flyer--?" |
45417 | Bill, do you think they''ll find the chimney?" |
45417 | Buckshot, at that distance?" |
45417 | But are you sure I ca n''t tempt you to stay for Sunday dinner? |
45417 | But how did you happen to be in here?" |
45417 | But maybe there was no firm-- of Joyce and Conway? |
45417 | But tell me, Auntie-- do you know where they''re keeping this young man?" |
45417 | But there''s no hurry about your leavin'', is there? |
45417 | But what did such trifles matter when one was bent upon a great achievement? |
45417 | But what do you think''s happened?" |
45417 | But where are Betty and George?" |
45417 | By the way, do they teach English or just plain Connecticut Yankee at the New Canaan High? |
45417 | By the way, which side of the river have you got the bus parked?" |
45417 | Call Terry in, will you? |
45417 | Can we come in out of the wet for a little while?" |
45417 | Can you hear what they''re saying in the next room?" |
45417 | Chapter VIII THE CHIMNEY Then on her right she heard a soft rustling, immediately followed by a low call:"Dorothy, where are you?" |
45417 | Chapter XIV THE LION''S DEN"No answer at all?" |
45417 | Could you slide down ours and untie that from the bushes, then shin up again?" |
45417 | Did you leave your gun in the library, George?" |
45417 | Do n''t you remember the movies last night? |
45417 | Do you expect me to stick out here with the car and see that somebody does n''t steal the tires?" |
45417 | Do you feel able to go on now?" |
45417 | Do you know what happened to their car?" |
45417 | Do you think I''m going to let you walk into that place alone?" |
45417 | Do you want them out after us? |
45417 | Ever been in the Reservation, Bill?" |
45417 | Except--"here Dorothy looked stern,"I do n''t approve of your housekeeping methods-- I had to scour the frying pan twice, sir, do you realize that?" |
45417 | Have you any suggestions to give us?" |
45417 | Have you boys had supper?" |
45417 | He was such a darling looking boy and--""My goodness-- what have his looks got to do with it? |
45417 | Hear it just over there to the right?" |
45417 | How about you, Uncle Abe?" |
45417 | How are you making out?" |
45417 | How can any of us learn anything unless you give Stoker a chance to get on with his story?" |
45417 | How dat man goin''ter keep all dose young folks locked in his house while he try to sell dem plans? |
45417 | How did you get here?" |
45417 | How did you get it?" |
45417 | How do you know Joyce''s men have n''t got them tied up in the house?" |
45417 | How in the wide world did you ever get rouge on the end of your nose? |
45417 | How is it done?" |
45417 | How would you like to live in quarters over our garage and work for my father? |
45417 | How''ll that be?" |
45417 | I hope you do n''t mind my mentioning such a prosaic thing-- but do you happen to have anything to eat in the house?" |
45417 | I thought dat de plans was lost?" |
45417 | I''m soaked nearly to my waist-- how about you?" |
45417 | If Mr. Conway still owned patent rights on his inventions, why were n''t they mentioned in the will?" |
45417 | If there is one, how is it going to help us?" |
45417 | If you know the way out, why do n''t you say so?" |
45417 | Is dat what yo''all wanter know, ma''am?" |
45417 | Is it far away?" |
45417 | Is n''t it possible that Mr. Joyce may have acted as Mr. Conway''s agent-- sold the inventions for him, perhaps? |
45417 | Is that clear to you, Betty?" |
45417 | Is there much farther to go?" |
45417 | Johnson?" |
45417 | Joyce?" |
45417 | Let''s see-- where was I?" |
45417 | May I use your telephone?" |
45417 | Now tell me-- are you going to pull yourself together and be of some help? |
45417 | Park the car near the road, hike back through the woods and cut over toward the house from that side?" |
45417 | Pass the word on to the rest of the boys about them dead beats that''s botherin''people on the Reservation, will you?" |
45417 | People who live in glass houses, you know--?" |
45417 | Pretty good guess, eh?" |
45417 | Remember what I trotted into with Betty at Stoker''s house?" |
45417 | Snap out of it, wo n''t you, Betty?" |
45417 | So do n''t put him wise, will you?" |
45417 | Talk of hunting needles in a--""But do we need it?" |
45417 | That is, I s''pose they''re yours?" |
45417 | That''s a bad eye you''ve got-- been in a fight?" |
45417 | There''s another-- hear it?" |
45417 | They said they''d come for the letter Father had left for me to read after his death--""And you did n''t give it to them?" |
45417 | This young lady in overalls is Miss Dixon, I take it?" |
45417 | Turn your mind upon the answer of that dear old song,''Where do we go from here?''" |
45417 | Wat you want I should do, Miss Do''thy?" |
45417 | We''ll talk it over at supper, shall we?" |
45417 | Whar was dey?" |
45417 | What are we going to do about it?" |
45417 | What can we do but knock them up and ask for shelter?" |
45417 | What could have happened to him? |
45417 | What could his objective be? |
45417 | What do you bet I spot the motive in this mysterious case of Stoker''s?" |
45417 | What do you pretend you were doing, anyway?" |
45417 | What do you say?" |
45417 | What do you suppose they were after?" |
45417 | What is it, Uncle?" |
45417 | What on earth was he going to do now? |
45417 | What river? |
45417 | When I could n''t find the book for old Lewis, what do you think he said?" |
45417 | When yo''alls done wid dem, p''raps yo''ll wake de young missy, an''carry de bucket in yonder?" |
45417 | Where are they?" |
45417 | Where are you, anyway?" |
45417 | Where do you want me to start?" |
45417 | Where''s your boy friend?" |
45417 | Where?" |
45417 | Who is dis hyar boy wid you, Uncle?" |
45417 | Who yo''all a- lookin''fo''?" |
45417 | Who''s going to do the hunting?" |
45417 | Why did n''t we think of him before?" |
45417 | Why did n''t you wake me up?" |
45417 | Why did those men attack you and tie you up-- what were they doing around here?" |
45417 | Why was Hilltop sold?" |
45417 | Wonder what the J in John J. Joyce stands for?" |
45417 | Wonder what''s become of Stoker and Betty?" |
45417 | You came up this way, did n''t you?" |
45417 | You can go into the dining room and set the table.--Bill, you''re a good cook-- how about starting the coffee? |
45417 | You must be nearly dead--""Well, there have been times when I''ve felt more peppy--""How could you, Bill? |
45417 | You or me?" |
45417 | You want that shoe so as to prevent anyone else from finding it, the men who are chasing us, for instance?" |
45417 | You''d never take her for the same person, would you?" |
45417 | You-- killed them? |
45417 | _ Where are your visitors?_"The old man spat with great precision on to a glowing cinder. |
45417 | does n''t she?" |
45417 | he thundered,"What do you mean by bandying words with me?" |
45417 | so you put the spotlight on me, do you?" |
