MR. BIRRELL'S LIBRARY
The sale of the late Mr. Augustine Birrell'a library does not include his twenty-four morocco-bound volumes of Miss Hannah More. It is over twenty years ago that he confessed that, lest he should be a party to disseminating their incredible dullness, he had buried them in the garden amid the cheers of his family. They may have had their agricultural uses, though one could find some modern novels even better adapted for the purpose.
