    Institutionwhich has been brought more prominently before the trade and the public of late , owing

    to the recent successful Booksellers' Dinneralthough a useful and most economically

    managed charity , has been subjected to much , and at times unjustcriticism . Still not

    even its warmest supporters , claim for it absolute perfection , and its best friends would

    gladly do their utmost to satisfy the reasonable requirements of its members or those desirous

    of joining it . Under these circumstances it may not be amiss to give some particulars

    of a similar society in France , where they perhaps manage such institutions ( as Sterne

    said they did some other things ) better than in insular Albion . And surely «/ no titter p JLlace

    could be found for such mention than this journalwhich owes its existence to one of the

    founders , and best friends of the B . P . I . the late revered Mr . Sampson Low . ,
