Upon Bibliopegia, cr the Art of Bookbinding, we cannot pass

a practical opinion. Mr. ARNETT is evidently a " bibliopegistic " enthusiast ; and we can therefore readily suppose that he has un- dergone the labour necessary to procure every information upon the subject. Assuming his knowledge to be sound, we can see that he has minutely treated the art of bookbinding throughout all its various branches, and illustrated his directions by cuts. But we could never learn to bind his book from his directions : we therefore suspect that its utility must he confined to the craftsmen who aspire to practise their art in a scientific wry.
