Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ex Libris Carissimis Because what interests me is the actual impact of a book upon the mind, and anything in the nature of fantastic or frolic decoration, or excessive bulk, or slovenly editing, Persian ornament of any sort, interferes with the intrinsic purport of the Work. In number I 58 of the famous Tatler, you will find a delicious ironic character-sketch written by Addison of a gentleman whom he describes as a book collector and broker in learning, Tom Folio. And so that it may be textual in the record, I want to read you two or three lines from that essay. Addison ironically describes Tom Folioz He is a universal scholar, so far as the title page, of all authors. He has a greater esteem for Aldus and Elzevir than for Virgil and Horace. He thinks he gives you an account of an author when he tells you the subject he treats of, the name of the editor, and the year in which it was printed. Or, if you draw him into further particulars, he cries up the goodness of the paper, extols the diligence of the corrector, and is transported with the beauty of the letter. This he looks upon to be sound learning and substantial criticism. (you will not have missed Addison's sly suggestion of a pun, Tom Folio and tomfoolery.)
