Exhibit Three Old "Books.
While in Richmond reclntly I sa\K
on exhibit three of the oldest books in
t hr state library, one of which is
nearly, six hundred years old. It is a
theological work and was copied in
parts 'by hand in 1360, over a century
before successful printing 'vas achiev
ed. . ?'
On the fly leaf of the book, which
is of parchment, beautifully bound
and well preserved, is the explanatory
note: "This Ms. was Wrote about A.
I), l :;i?0 and contains several Pieces
of .!n Gorsah Chancellor of Paris."
The writer was. a theologian, the book
being a collection of his religious
treatises..
The second book in point of age now.
placed on exhibit is. also a manuscript
volume, copied in 1484, and is from
the works of Saint Boniventure, a
French monk, patron saint of Lyons,
who lived from 1221 to 1274, whose
bones disappeared from their tomb at
Paris during the French Revolution,
being never located afterward. This
book is of unusual interest as an ex
ample of mediaeval binding of the
type common in monasteries of - that
a*;*. The covers are of wood encased
in stamped leathers and , sewn with
leather, which is fastened down 'with
wooden pegs. The title is written on
paper and tacked on the bindings un
der transparent pieces of horn.
Tlje third book is a voluminous ac
count of the world from the time of
creation, following the Biblical ac
count, but including Greek legendary
history and coming down to the time
of the Roman emperors. It is re
markable for its 2,200 spirited en
gravings done by Michel Wohlgemut,
a well-known German engraver of the
&ge. The book was printed in Nu
remberg, ih 1493. The literal con
ception of Biblical narrative as inter
preted by people of the middl*. ages is
startlingly shown in this volume, pro
duced the year afjter America was
discovered. ?
If the site and buildings of the old
Hudson Bay post at Fort Langley,
British Columbia, are donated to the
Donirfiion Historic Sites and Monu
ments board, that body will repair the
old fur-trading post, turn it into a
museum and preserve it as a monu
ment to the early pioneers in British
Columbia.

Only one per cent of 80,000 samples
of liquor sefted during the last of the
year was genuine, according to a le
port of the prohibition commissioner

serious physical consequences. Drink
ing of moonshine may not cause death
directly, but its toxins are cumulative
and result in death if indulged in for
a protracted period.
