TO-DAY'S MISCELLANY.
In the obituary notices of Mrs. Edwards, wife of Mr. Clement Edwards, M.P., it was mentioned that she had collected an immense number of newspaper cuttings relating to the Labour movement since the dock strike of 1889. The compilation ran to something like 2,400 volumes, with three or four million, index references. This must, surely, be one of the, largest private collections of the kind in oxistence. Many writers for the press, however, do the same sort of thing on a smaller scale, for they make a practice of preserving newspaper cuttings likely to be useful to them in thoir work, and either filing them in envelopes or boxes or pasting them into commonplace books. · In one of his "Claudius Clear" articles a few years ago Bir William Robertson Nicoll confessed that he, had never succeeded in keeping a scrap-book himself for any length of time. "But I have known," he continued, "at least half a dozon men who kept scrap- books on a system, and to-day there are no journalists in London that noed fear the future less than these. Whatever happons, they have fresh materials." Accord ing to Sir William, the scrap- book school in English journalism (culminated in George Augustus
Sala, "who
wrote imposing articles full of names and facts, very impressive to the public because they had an air of omniscience.'
