HOW TO FOLD THE SPECTATOR

A Correspondent informs us that his Paper seldom reaches him properly folded ; and he adds, that the same difficulty has been felt by others.

The proper method of folding the SPECTATOR, is-first, to lay that side of the sheet which contains the titlepage towards the table ; it will then present, as in the present instance for example, the pages in the following order : 414 I 419 418 415 411 422 4H 410 406 427 426 407

If the sheet is folded once 414 will face 415, 411 will face 410, and 406 will face 407. The other pages must necessarily face their fellows.

The side having the titlepage will then present the following pages : 420 413 421 412 428 Titlepage.

If 420 be placed opposite to 421, 413 will face41.2 ; and then the first or titlepage, with 428 or the last page of Advertisements, must obviously be placed outside.

We hope this is clear enough ; or must we add a series of engravings

One Correspondent (whose kindly interest deserves our thanks) says, he never trusts the folding of his paper to the newsman; and that, having caused the paper to be "ironed" after the fashion of his linen, which at once effectually dries it and imparts a glossy elegant appearance to it, he folds it himself. This suggestion will be useful to those who think it worth while to bind THE SPECTATOR. •
