The visitor knows that he is in the presence of a personage of a romantic sort. \ve might wish that a French sculptor would favour us in London with a specimen or two by way of example; not, however, that we should have an English celebrity dressed and treated as a Frenchman, which would be out of place.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Art Journal, 1876, Vol. 15 It seems probable that among the Romans bookbinding became an Art as soon as square books were substituted for rolls. The first kind of cover having a square shape was a protection in its simplest form, and contemporary with the rolls. It was a leathern cover wrapped round Greek and Roman waxed tablets. When, at a later period, leaves were stitched or stuck together, they were bound in a cover having a movable back, the sides being made of leather, wood, or ivory. When placed on shelves books lay on their sides, and had attached to the covers little cedar tablets inscribed with their titles.
