behind tha scenes In the making of such
volume know how often the tedium of
their labors has been relieved by amusing
errors In translation and slips of the
editorial goose quill, or, more correctly,
fountain pen. Especially Is this the case
where the work Is an original one, the
component topics of which are furnished
by collaborators living In different parts of
the world, writing In different languages,
and of whom many have never previously
contributed to a publication of the kind.
