Nodier gave it to Thouvenin, and Thouvenin's work shows that he understood it, but he died in poverty in 1834, the only bookbinder with an idea of the entire Romanticist epoch. Firmin Didotwas the Aristarchus of the bookbinding exhibitions. At the Bibliotheque Nationale, in Didot's Re- port for the year 1844, appears the name of a bookbinder who deserves an epic poem. He had the heroism to exhibit a volume on the edges of which an artist had painted a picture, visible when the edges were shown ...slantwise. He appears, in the Report, summoned to receive a reproof in comparison with which the judgments of Torquemada were sonnets of POUR PRIVATE LIBRARIES OF NEW-YORK 39 praise. Perhaps he died of it, for he never appeared again. His name shall be written here in large letters, as a mark of appreciation, for the book-lovers of the decade: BAILLY.
The book-lover is the artist in bookbinding. He does not read, but he has read, his books. He knows them per- fectly. The covers that he composes for them shall prove this or prove that he is not a book-lover.
