Whyte of Enniskillent Brings In Many of His Valuable Collection Old volumes, ricb in historical r tata, continue to pour into The il Statesînan Office following the an-a touncernent of the finding o! a score1 of old volumes in the past two orc hree weeks. This week again at nurnber of volumes have beeni brought to the office for perusal un- t .11 the offic is beginning to take on the appearance o! an antique book r sbop.i Among the volumes received this( iveek is an exceptionally interesting( little book, not so old as rnany we( hlave seen. but quite old eaough fori Its style. being one o! the first o! its1 kind issued. It is a copy o! Eaton's1 Catalogue for the Faîl and Winter o! 1886-87. It is an unpretentious lit- tle volume rneasuring 7 by 54' inchesi and is just a dwarf whea compared witb the type o! volume this comp- any publlshes today. On the front cover is a picture o! what the cornp- any belleved then was tbeir buge store. Prom the picture it would seem that tbere were cernent side-, walks but a gravel road on Yonge Street and an open carniage and pair o! borses witb driver and footmanl complete is seen leaving the front o!' the store. Inside there is a miap o!f Toronto as it was then, showing how~ to get to Eaton's store which was only a fraction o! its present size: The measurernent o! the store at that tirne is givea as baving a front- age of 52 feet on Yonge Street and adepth o! 340 feet on Queea Street. Should the prices that feature thisi old catalogue be in vogue today one~ would indeed think the cost o! living reasonable. Most o! the merchandisel ranges balo! the cost today and in some cases even less. For instance, black velvet is priced at 20, 25, 35 and 40 cents per yard accordiag to width whicb is away below bal! o! what it costs today. Ia the boot and shoe department is this example:! Ladies' pebble button and lace boos, 85c, $1 aad $1,25 a pair. Men'shoe range in price f rom $1 to $4apir At the end o! this little book ne the caption "Errata" appears the f oi- lowiag: "This catalogue is not alto- gether accurate. It is as aear cor- rect as it could be, barring one' blunder: On page one it sbould readi one and one-eightb acres instead o! over two acres." This flrst volume o! Eaton's Catalogue is the property o! Mr. A. H. Scobell, Bowmanville. Rev. J. M. Wbyte o! Enniskillen . brought in nine more old books practically every one being well over a hundred years o! age. Among the interesting volumes o! Mr. Wbyte's collection this week are included the G. W. Heary's The Marriage o! the .Lamb or Wedlock and Padlock. This .book is valuable for the fact that it ris written by a man who was totally -blind for the greater part o! bis if e. The book concernis marriage f rote many angles and opens with the 0kd sayiag, "The course o! true love nev- er did run smooth.:' The next volumné is a Lorenzo eDow's famous essays on the "Deal- -ings o! God, Man and the Devil.' yThe book whicb was printed in 1850 rcontaias rmany o! the best writings -of this author including a chain of reason and reflections ia which the -writer puts forth some splendid argu- ments concerniflg religioa. The next volume is 256 years olk and is the Faîrsous Apology o! the dQuakers by Ftobcrt Barclay as wa' sent to bis majesty Kiag Charles the asecond in 1675. Among the pages of this book we found a treatist .printed in 1836 or 95 years old or the subject o! whether or not womer -should preach. That subject is one .of the live subjects today. L A wonderfully preserved volume is ' A discourse concerning the being and attributes of God aad the obli- Sgations o! Natural Religioa" being a .sertes o! sixteen sermons preacheci in St. Paul's Cathedral ln the years 1704 and 1705 by Rev. Saniuel Clarke D. D., rector o! St. James, Westmin- ster. The book was printed ln 1766, 1rnaking it 165 years old. The book< IVHY NOT A DURHAM COUNTY HIISTORICAL SOCIETY ? Undssr the caption "Digging up the Past" The Collingwood Bulletin bas he following to say about the stories of Old Volumes appearing in The S t at e smnan: "The Bowmanville Statesrnan started somethiag when it announced the discovery o! a iîurber of old volumes in homes in ts town and district. The result is a "deluge" of old books, one, a Freach grammar, coîning f rom New- castle. 311 years old. Another an- tique is a copy o! the Bible priated in 1728 or 303 years ago. It i.s from the collectioa o! a miaister who is an ardeat collector. The point o! the matter is this. that there lies buried in the homes o! the provinces and o! tbis dominion. many volumes, that owtng to their rarity would have not only great rnonetary but literary val- ue.

' The Religion o! Nature Delineat- ed" is the title o! tbe next v:lume whicb is 180 years old, being printed in 1750. It is priated in botb Eng- glisb and Latin. The author o! the book is a Mr. Wollaston without any initials bemng given. Tbe next volume is 223 years of age and is the oldesi of the group. it is a volume o! "Seventeen sermons of the Reverend and Learned Dr. William Hopkins, late prebendary of the Cathedral Church o! Worcester."

Mr. Whyte states that lie ha many more books at bis home bu those brought ta our notice ari among the rnost interesting. Tii value o! the books owned by M: Whyte would no doubt reach thous ands o! dollars if placed on the mar ket, but Mr. Wbyte values them fa more than rnoney, being an arder collector and making the collectiai o! ald volumes bis hobby.

Brown, Inspector of Schools, Maple Creek, Sask.: Though many new names continue to appear and fewer of the nid ones. I flnd much of interest in the pages of The States- man. I suppose you have heard of the wonderful weather we have had Lin our province and in Alberta since ithe mniddle o! October. We have a littie frost at night, 10 degrees or so, and warm sunshiny days often as high as 5 degrees during the middle of the day. People have to go back to the eighties to flnd a parallel. Tbey have no ice for curling or skat- ing at Medicine Hat and no hockey in Calgary. A letter from a subseriber in Van- couver, B. C., who sigus "An old Dur- ham Boy", writes: I noticed in the Maple Grove Reflections: Do you re- caîl the time when the twins, Rich- ard and Harry Bennett, lived in this neighborhood. and they were so rnuch alike the People did flot know them apart? Wonder where they are now? They both live in Oshawa. They live near each other and are great chums. Both are married; Richards has 1 daughter and 2 sons; and Harry has 4 sons. Some of their chlldren of both families hold some very responsible positions while others are in business for themselves. 1 have taken The Statesman for 45 years and take great pleasure in reading your dlean paper. Mrs. Gertrude M. White. Darling- ford, Man.: We are having a won- derful winter in Manitoba this year, a providential thing for many people who f eel very keenly the depression in our great western prairies.
