_Vellum-bound Books._--In a list of thirty books printed for T. Carnan and

F. Newbery, and issued in 1773, I find the phrase _two volumes bound in one

in the vellum manner_ in seven instances; also, _four volumes bound in two

in the vellum manner_; and, _six volumes bound in three in the vellum

manner_. In other cases we have only the word _bound_ or _sewed_. I have a

suspicion that the phrase _in the vellum manner_ may have some obsolete

meaning; and submit this note to the consideration of those who are in

search of a _vellum-bound Junius_.
