He has never come across an edition of the Waverley Novels in which the motto to Chapter XXV.: of "‘The Talisman‘" did not run thus: To the foun In woodland and val tale To ‘the moon shining bright I have breathed my delight, Ah, my passion!

The hymnbook of one of the Methoâ€" dist churches in England is guilty of an outrageous subversion of, the moral standard when it attributes to Doctor Isaac Watts the sentiment: 11 eR HERE is a fatality oftenr attendâ€" § ing the final stages of the g printing of a book or an article. ’" Proof after proof has been corrected with serupulous care, and there seems nothing more for auâ€" thor or proofreader to do, when a line or word falls out, giving an opportuniâ€" ty for some stupendous blunder in setâ€" ting things straight. The corrector of the press is sometimes himself responâ€" sible for a literary atrocity, when some brilliant flash of stupidity occurs to him too late to be submitted as a query to the poor author. Thus a certain scholar found the Candian vessel, in which he described Beza as voyaging, transformed into the anachronism of a Canadian vessel. Mr. Howells tells us of the agony he suffered at the disâ€" covery of a fearful misprint in his "Piâ€" lot‘s Story." The tale is of a young planter who has gambled away the slave girl who is the mother of his child. : She breaks out upon him with the demand: ‘"What will you say to our boy when he cries for me there in St. Louis?" In this form the line passed the auâ€" thor himself and the first proofreader; but the final reader, evidently a proâ€" ncunced realist, thought it could be improved, and accordingly changed it into: My days of praise shall ne‘er be past, Offices, 36 James ist., South, Barristers, Solicitors, Conveyancers, Ete Mnconsistency is such .. _# As thou, too, shalt adore; ' I could not love thee, love, so much, Loved I not honor more.
