MISTAKES IN BOOKS: EX-' tfllPLES IN PROOF. i 1 "The New Practical Reference Library," Published by the Dixon, Hanson Company, New York and Chicago, 1907. PAPER NO 4. I lh:9 work boasts of its "ac- ] curacy'1 but in the three preced- ] ing papers I have shown that this ] claim is not well founded. The < mistakes already noted are only j a few of the many I have found, i This work also boasts that it ( contains "latest information" | and "information concerning im- i portant universities, colleges and i other educational institutions." i Let us try it by this test. This work has no 9ort of refer ence to Lancaster ami Chester i bv ^ does cou'ain an article of i eleven lines about Uoek Hill, i Mention is made that Winthrop College is located there but no ] sort of description of it is given. Here then is one of the greatest ' n M (1 ? '1 ?" ?? '? ' 1 ? - 1 C44AIA uiuao au vauuf U UOIIUges 111 I 4 simply named as being i afc^lu > Hill. That is a 1 it < says Vbout this college. But ! this article on Roclr Hill doe9 t give us "the latest information" i on another point It tells us ] that 'Mhe city has street rail- I ways." Here this great ''New i Practical Reference Library" has etruck oil. 44 Accurate" on one I thing at last. It certainly on i this point has "latest informa- ; tion." It must have 9ent a i special reporter to Rock Hill to collect this valuable and rare , bit ot knowledge. This is a part 1 of its precious "information not , easily accessible elsewhere." , Rock Hill has street "railways." 11 M a H anhf a Ka it f ft K ' "uu?i. tiuuui nidi. hay uivu corporosily ha* been transported from the depot to Winthrop Col- i lege on this raiphtv system of , y "railways" which is worthy of mention in this "New Practical Reference Library." This won ( dertul "Library" would, ot course, rot omit the mention of , such a great business enterprise as this system of "railways" for i i -i has "full information" and 'Milatest information." This railway system of Rock Hill has only one track and that one not more than a nnle and a hall long. It has four mules and four coaches. Two mules pull a car. Recently one faithful mule died. This "Library" will doubtless shortly furnish a photograph of this mule together with Editor Connors' faithful biography of the said mule, to gether with note*, comments and i suitable bibliography. The men < concerned in the publication of I this "New Practical Reference i Library" may contemplate tak- i ing bodily this system of "rail- < ways" to Chicago just as some other things have been taken ther$; of course, they want the i best in railway enterprise as they do in book-making. I am ' going to mention some other i things that we here know about; * and show how this book treats them. I shall confine this paper i to South Carolina affairs. It gives seventeen lines to Gen. i Kershaw and vkat it says about Jrtm is well enough. But it has ot one word about Gen. M. O. < i THE LA Butler and yet he was a brilliant b Confederate general, was long a p United States geu?t?r after the J c war, and major general in the a Spanish war. He 19 in every re- if ?pect a9 worthy of mention a9 b Jen. Kershaw. But the Yankee si 3eD. B. F. Butler ha* elaborate h mention and yet even about him h Dne thing is left ou!; ?nd that p &hing is that it was currently re e ported at the time that said B it F. Butler while commanding in ti Mew Orleans was a most excel- q lent judge of silver spoons. This n "Library" omits that interesting li item. There is also no mention g in this work of Lleury Timrod ; C and, yet this work so accurate" " ana so ton of "latest information" is "intended primarily lor Ihe use ot students and their teachers" as we are pompously told in the preface. For years i now great interest has been taken in tins poet and his work ; o )I so much so that a northern firm it and a southern tirm have both ^ published lull editions of his i poems. And yet Snu'h Caiolina .1: people are asked t> huv this New Practical Reference Li- I brary," although no sort of mention is made of one who is justly dear to this state, t ? the whole South, and will be some day, to the whole nation. All educated j men are supposed to know about ^ him; but this wonderful "Li- ^ brary" is not aware I hat any j such man ever lived. This , e ' New Practical Referenct? Library" does not come up to the description of it given either iu ^ the preface or by the agent who ^ 3old it. Take another example. No y sort of mention i9 made of Dr. \ Thornwell, the great president '] ot South Carolina College. lie \ occupies a large place in the a educational history of this state. ( Many of his educational papers ? are unsurpassed. His defence j of state education has scarcely j ever been equalled and only a three or four years ago the c United States Commissioner ot education republished, in one of j his annual reports, this great r\ document so that educators ) everywhere might 'i?ve easy ac- v cess to it, but ?l! of this is r sweetly unknown to this "New r Practical Reference Library" ? which is lor "students and their ; teachers" and which is lull of the "latest information." It is 1 amazing how our people here in 1 the South are imposed upon by ~ book agents. Many of our peo- i pie, like a nest ol young birds, r swallow down anything that is brought to them. It is high time v tor that sort of thing to stop. Take another example. Francis Lieber is a great name in the educational history not only of Ibis state but of the world, lie ^ came to this state in 1835 and remained at the Sonth Carolina f| College about twantv vears. tl O - / - 1 J, While there he wrote his world n wide famous works : "Manual of Political Ethics"; ''Legal and s Political Iiermeneutic9"; and ti Civil Liberty and Self Government." When the civil war r came on he wrote for President b Lincoln: "Code of war for the ? Government of the armies of the 1 o United States in the Field," and b this work has been pronounced * by specialists as a great master- f piece in its lino.
