Mr. Frederic Saunders is publishing in the New-York Recorder a series of papers under the title of Bookcraft which will make a volume not unworthy of D'Israeli.

In a Lecture on the History of Bookcraft, an account was given “Of the plenty of books, and dearth of sense; the advantages of the Oratory to the booksellers, in advertising for them; and to their customers, in making books useless; with all the learning, reason, and wit more than are proper for one advertisement.”

And I had told a tale or two—a poor art enough, I'll allow, spoiled by bookcraft It was a cheery company as you may guess, and at last I was at a display of our Highland dancing.

On looking these over, I found them to contain two Tales called "Count Robert of Paris," and "Castle Dangerous;" but was seriously disappointed to perceive that they were by no means in that state of correctness, which would induce an experienced person to pronounce any writing, in the technical language of bookcraft, "prepared for press."

Other interesting testimony to the bookcraft and collecting habits of the friars is not wanting.
