these seem to have regained much of their former popularity.
In conclusion, I wish to suggest that although conditions have changed

Thomas W. Streeter, Texan bibliographer and bibliophile,
of Morristown, New Jersey, has recently sent to the Associa-

These numbers constitute approximately half of all published
