PRINTER'S ERRORS.

Ben the pale martyr in his shost of fire! must have been completely crashed when the line appeared as—

See the pale martyr in his shirt of fire! We can sympathise also with the poet who, writing of his love, asserted that he fandimed her under the silent stars,' and Eound the compositor made him state that ha kisked her under the coilar stairs. Trus, it has been doubted it these two posts ever existed; but others, of less my thologic famo, have suffered as badly at the lands of the printer. Burns, in a cheap

edition of his works, is made to say,

The Queen's Speech at the opening of a recent session of parliament was hurriedly pablished in a coteli newspaper without being revised by the pross-correcter, sud Her Majunty, instead of saying that certain negotiations will, I dont not, head to satisfactory results,' was reported as saying, will, I doubt, yet tend to satisfactory re- sults. So much for the misplacing of a

comma!

A good example of acouracy in printing tables of figures-in which it is so difficult to avoid errors-may be seen in

A BKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The bluray, however, does not always rest with the compositor. Incorrect spelling and slovenly writing lure much to answer for, especially in the ease of proper manies and quotations from foreign languages. Bour- have becomes Bourshave and Et Brute!
