Examples of Art of Bookbinding
On Exhibit in University Library
Examples of fine bindings In the
collections In the University of Ne
braskn Library, presenting: a wide
variety of the art of the bookbinder
from the Fifteenth century to the
present day, are now displayed in
the Library exhibit case.
One of the bonks printed before
1500. has heavy oak board covers
with vellum back, a clumsy stylo but
necessary to protect the heavy vol
ume. Another is bound with a vel
lum manuscript of the Thirteenth
century which serves as an Illustra
tion of the way books were made be
fore printiiiR was Invented as well
as a cover for this book.
A most unusual volume is one show
ing what is called "fore edge paint
ins." This was an art practiced in
the early Nineteenth century, notably
bv James Edwards of Halifax, whose
W'l Us the volume on display illus
trates. In order to execute this "lore
edco paintins" the leaves of the book
are sloped thus shins a wider edse
than when the book is closed. The
landscape picture was then painted
nu these sloped edges, and is visible
only when the book is open and the
leaves sloped
To exhibit this parntTng the leaves
have been placed in a vice thus keep
ing them in the sloped position.
Such famous binders as Deronie,
l.e Gasson, and Samuel Mearne,
whose work is known by the style
of the decorative gold tooling of the
cover design, are represented.
It is interesting to see the various
kinds of leather the vellum usod In
the early days or bookmaktnR, calf
skin, plain full polished, or tree calf
and the rich looking morocco, favor
ite for luxurious bindings each with
it;: distinctive grain or finish.
One of these full levant morocco
bindings with a gilt butterfly design,
covers an unusual book a work on
moths and butterflies of the United
States with illustrations which are
transfers actually made from the in
sects themselves, the scales of the
wings being transferred to the paper,
showing the life coloring, texture, etc.
These Illustrations possess all of the
beauty of the insects themselves.

FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR
ONLY THE DIAL
among America's leading magazines
has been awarded the rating of
100 "
-
for the short stories of distinction it has published. Edward J. O'Brien,
the American authority on the short story, in his annual review of Ame
rican mazarine fiction recently published in the Boston Transcript, again
rated THE DIAL above every other ma
gazine in America for the percentage of
short stories of distinction it has publi
shed during the past year.
Every year Mr O'Brien makes a survey of the
fiction published by American magazines, and
his apprais.il is generally accepted as authori
tative hy students of literature. The best of
the stories selected hy Mr O'Brien are annually
republished in book form.
The Dial was first awarded the rating of 10i3
in 1920, a8 the'end of its first year as a maga
zine of art and letters. Again in 1921 The Dial
headed Mr O'Brien's list, and now in 1922,
for the third consecutive year, The Diak has'
achieved the highest rating in Mr O'Brien's
classification.
This record is particularly significant in view
of the fact that Mr O'Brien selects for his per
centage ratings only stories of unusual merit
and distinction. The Dial's record of 100'
means, therefore, that since 1920 it has not
published a single mediocre story.

This record becomes all the more remarkable when it is realized that THE
DIAL is not exclusively a fiction magazine. Short stories form but a part
of the material in each issue. The poetry, essays, criticism, and reproduc
tions of the fine arts published by THE DIAL are equally distinctive. The
editorial policy of THE DIAL is directed towards achieving distinction in
all lines. THE DIAL'S better known contributors include the most dis
tinguished writers of Europe and America. A new name will shortly be
added to this notable list of contributors
Gerhart Hauptmann
whose latest novel will be published in ths spring issues of THE DIAL.
