_A Hint for Publishers._--Many, like myself, have no doubt experienced the

inconvenience of possessing early impressions of books, of which later

editions exist with numerous emendations and errata.

Would it not be practicable for publishers to issue these emendations and

errata in a separate form and at a fair price, for the benefit of the

purchasers of the preceding editions?

Were this plan generally adopted, the value of most books would be

materially enhanced, and people would not object, as they now do, to order

new publications.
