friends, or the entertainment of an
occasional audience. Then his book appears,
entitled not _Miscellaneous Poems_, but
_Asleep in the Sanctum_, by A. A. Hopkins.
Sometimes, not satisfied with one enigma,
another is added. Here we have _The
Great Iron Wheel; or, Republicanism
Backwards and Christianity Reversed_, by J. R.
Graves. These titles are neither new nor
scarce, nor limited to any particular class
of books. Every case, almost every shelf,
in every library contain such. They are as
old as the art of book-making. David's
lamentation over Saul and Jonathan was
called _The Bow_. A single word in the
poem probably suggested the name. Three
of the orations of schines were styled _The
Graces_, and his letters _The Muses_.''

The list of bibliographical blunders
might be indefinitely extended, but the

above few instances will give a sufficient
indication of the pitfalls which lie in the
way of the bibliographer--a worker who
needs universal knowledge if he is to
wend his way safely through the snares
in his path.
