THE OLD BOOKSELLERS.

BY CHARLES KNIGHT.

"Now learning itself is a trade. A man goes to a bookseller, and gets what he can. We have done with patronage.

In the infancy
This diffused it

of learning, we find some great man praised for it.
among others. When it becomes general, an author leaves the great,
and applies to the multitude."-JOHNSON, in 1773.
