SMALLEST BOOK.
The smallest book in the world must surely be a little volume printed in Holland in 1674. It contains 49 pages, and the title is “The Court of Flowers.” This tiny book is perfect in every way. It is superbly bound in calf, ornamented on the sides, and fastened with a solid gold clasp of exquiste workmanship. If three other similar volumes could be found the four together would just cover a postage stamp.
