Setting aside his using his books by reading them as out of the question, he yet was never known to indulge in that fondling and complacent examination of their exterior and general condition, which, to Inchrule and others of his class, seemed to afford the highest gratification that, as sojourners through this vale of tears, it was their lot to enjoy.
Fitzpatrick Smart punished them so terribly, that they at last abandoned him in despair to his own devices. Several men of this class were under the authority of the Inchrule, and their communings were instructive. "Thorpe's catalogue just arrived, sir several highly important announcements," says a portly person with a fat volume under his arm, hustling forward with an air of assured consequence.
It has happened sometimes that tattered fragments of them have been preserved as effective relics within outer shells or shrines; and in some instances, long after the books themselves have disappeared, specimens of these old bindings have remained to us beautiful in their decay; but we are getting far beyond the Inchrule.
Let us now call up a different and a more commonplace type of the book-hunter it shall be Inchrule Brewer. He is guiltless of all intermeddling with the contents of books, but in their external attributes his learning is marvellous.
