The following salutary advice to book-borrowers might suitably take its
position in the collection already alluded to in "N. & Q.":
"Neither blemish this book, or the leaves double down,
Nor lend it to each idle friend in the town;
Return it when read; or if lost, please supply
Another as good, to the mind and the eye.
With right and with reason you need but be friends,
And each book in my study your pleasure attends."
