Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Magnificent Farce, and Other Diversions of a Book-Collector Dear sir, I am wondering whether The Amenities of book-collecting and Kindred Affec tions would preclude the exchange Of our handi work! If not, I should be glad to forward copies Of The Four Horsemen Of the Apocalypse and Mare N ostrum in exchange for the Amenities Of Book Collecting, some chapters of which I greatly enjoyed when they appeared in the Atlantic Monthly. With kind regards to those of your family who remember me, I am, very sincerely your Old-time Rahway neighbor on the other side Of the fence.
