Many Typographical Errors
Point Out 'Ivanhoe' First
Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe"
is a book I have had a special
fondness for since my 11th birth
day, and so when I saw It in
three leather - bound volumes on
the bookshelf in front of me, I
was strongly tempted.
"That's a first edition, Mister,"
said the owner of the store, "and
cheap at the price."
I was in no position to argue.
I didn't know how to tell
whether it was a valid first or
not, and said so.
"Well," said the proprietor un
easily, "I know it is because it's
dated 1820, at Edinburg, and
that's the year Scott first pub
lished it.
I pointed out the books had
been rebound, and that there
might have been several editions
in the first year, especially con
sidering Scott's immediate pop
ularity with "Ivanhoe." At
length, somewhat grudgingly, he
offered them to me for $25.
I paid it. I wanted to read it,
and while a good copy could
have been purchased for two or
three dollars, the binding on this
one was excellent and besides,
it might prove to be a first.
Fortunately, some weeks later
a friend, who had collected
Scott, examined the three vol
umes.
"There are scads of points to
test each one, Pink," he said,
"but I use only one for each.
"The first volume should have
the figure 4 below the last line
of text on page 7. Volume II, on
page 67, line 1, should have the
second word read 'uninterpriz-
ing.' Volume III, also on page
67, but in line 3, should have
no question mark after the word
'Prior's.' Happily, these three
check out in each case."
But I wasn't so happy about
it. That was some years ago
when I first started collecting
and was still too green to feel
happy on learning my set was
worth only about one hundred
dollars. I felt that it should be
worth several times as much at
least."
GUN COLLECTING HOBBY NETS GOOD FINANCIAL RETURN
Carl deals in diamonds for a
living, but gun collecting is his
hobby. Why, I am not sure, but
one of the reasons, probably, is
because he makes money at it.
Take the case of his recent
visit to Amsterdam. After he was
through with the diamond men,
he spent an afternoon among
some of the more obscure shops
in the poorer quarters of the
city.
"That's how I happened to
come across not one but three
such items as this," he said,
handing me one of three old
pistols on the table.
Ungainly things they were,
each one about 15 inches long
with a bell mounted muzzle
flaring a good two inches, as my
steel tape showed.
The barrel of the one I -held
was octagonal, but the others
were round. Except for that,
there was little difference among
them. They were about eight and
a half inches in length and were
pinned to a wooden half stock
probably of walnut. All the
fittings were of brass. '
I ran a finger down the muz
zle. It was so spotlessly clean
that for a moment I suspected
the piece had been turned out
recently, but then I found some
pitting that no manufacturer
would be likely to duplicate.
"They've been kept in splen
did condition, Carl said
"Thought Heaven knows why
After all, accuracy wasn't in
volved. You just poured in
powder, a wad or two, a hand
ful of nuts and bolts, and fired
it in the general direction of the
target. Not bad for twenty dol
lars, eh?"
I expressed surprise at his
having paid that much. Carl
laughed.
"That Dutchman was a sucker,
Pink. Guns just like these have
brought two hundred dollars in
this country. I can get rid of
these fast at seventy-five each."
So far he's done better than
that. A mutual friend gladly
paid him $100 .the other day for
the octagonal one.
BELL PEALS BEAUTIFUL TONES AND OFFERS AS WELL
We turned off the main high
way at the village and headed
up a dirt road that ran between
stone walls to the Watson place,
a little over a mile away.
It was only a few seconds be
fore six as we drove across a
bridge over the brook where
we planned to float dry flies for
lazy trout on the morrow.
Ahead of us, through some
birches and alders, I could see
the red roof of our destination
sticking up from behind the
crest of the hill whose base was
skirted by the stream. Behind
us, the dust of our passing was
heavy in the air. Off to the right,
a deer stepped out of the under
brush into a meadow, fully
aware that he was out of season.
It was a scene of peace, most
relaxing. At that moment, from
the Watson place ahead of us,
came the sound of a bell, fine
toned and clear. There were six
measured strokes. I stopped the
car to listen briefly and then
started up again. The last stroke
was humming softly into silence
as we reached the hillcrest.
Released by MeClure
I was impressed. The Watsons
hadn't had such a bell the year
before. I must see it right away.
Jim was just as anxious to show
it to me.
"I got it for one hundred dol
lars the other day when they
dismantled an old schoolhouse,"
he said. "It's bronze, cast in
1871 so it's not so old made
at tht Van Duzen Bell Foundry,
in Cincinnati, Ohio."
He pointed to it lovingly. It
occupied a small wooden bell
tower about 15 feet high which
he had erected behind some ap
ple trees that screened it from
the road. The tower was neces
sary. The bell weighed a little
over 600 pounds.
I asked if he didn't think $100
quite a bit of money to put into
a bell with only a rural history
and a short one at that.
"Not at all," he said. "People
love the sound of a good bell.
And since it would cost one
thousand dollars to make such
a bell today, you can well
imagine I've had some interest
ing offers for it."

Appeal Expected on
Passport Ruling
Washington U.R) The State
Department was prepared today
to appeal to the Supreme Court
a ruling by the U.S. Court of
Appeals that a passport is a con
stitutional right and not a privi
lege to be granted or withheld
at the department's discretion.
The historic and sweeping rul
ing, handed down Thursday,
stripped the secretary of state
and his passport division of the
almost - unlimited power they
have had over issuance of pass
ports. It also put the department
on notice that U.S. courts are
going to take a close look at de
cision to bar American citizens
from travel abroad.
The court held that an Ameri
can's constitutional right to a
passport cannot be refused ex
cept for valid reasons involving
this nation's relations with for
eign countries.
