     To one like Elia, whose treasures are rather cased in leather covers, than closed in iron coffers, there is a class of alienators more formidable than that which I have touched upon; I mean, your borrowers of books—those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.
