a
Hard on the Proofreader.
Getting typographical errors out of
dlctlonaries is a task beside which
that little Augean stable affair of Her
cules was an aftcmoon snap.
When the Oxford edition of the Bible
was publisher the proofs were read
and reread ten times. Then a reward
of $250 was offered to any one whe
should find a typographical blunder.
One was found in the first chapter of
Genesis. Dictionary proofreading is
even more difiìcult than Bible proof
reading.
There ls a tradition that a man who
read proofs of the Lord's Frayer for
that Oxford edition went insane out of
fear lest he made a blunder in it.—
