Excerpt from C. Hart Merriam Papers Relating to Work With California Indians, 1850-1974: Bulk 1898-1938 Use of. The 'eliot bible ceased about the middle of the last century, and it is said but one man now living can and no man does read it. Yet it is a very poor specimen of an Eliot bible that will not sell for 3250. Thus we see this book utterly neglected for the purposes intended by its author, but eagerly sought for quite other purposes. It is not unique in this respect, and suggests a theme for those who think great libraries should keep useful books only, destroying the worthless trash. No less than 57 pages of this elaborate bibliography are devoted to Eliot's writings, and so completely and fully is the field worked over and the golden grain extracted that even patient John China man would starve over the tailings. Of the titles of printed articles embraced in this bibliography the compiler has seen and described from personal inspection or 96 per cent. Of the remaining 4 per cent. Quite a number no longer exist. Similarly Mr. Pilling has described from personal inspection 184 of the 319 manuscripts embraced in the list, or 57 per cent. Dealing with rare, old, choice, and highly prized books, access to which is sedulously guarded, has perhaps led to the print ing of a few copies of this book as an edition de luxe 'on fine paper and with broad margins. It is only in this style of imprint that the beautiful fac-similes can be seen to their full advantage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
