      THIN PAPER . \ ' " ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ To the Editor of the Publishers' Circular .

      Dear £ ir , —Many years ago I was taught that the best stationery was the transparent

      being m , ade of purer materials ; but objecting , to portions of my correspondence being read

      through the envelope , I preferred the opaque . I hold the transparency of pure paper is a

      strong argument against its use for certain purposes UUi ( JVOCO , £ such 91 A «_/ J . l . C as *> 0 the U 11 V / monthl 1 UU 11 H 11 . y V frontisp IXUJiMOk'ieces I & Vl / K ) to V \ S

      the English Illustrated ^ and other works where the advertisements on the preceding leaf

      usually show so strongly as to mar the proper effect of good drawing , good engraving , and

      good printing , and I suppose I ought to add good paper . The advertisements are removed

      in binding , but even then the ordinary type shows with almost equally bad effect . I am

      tion much of disappointed Caldecott ' s to 6 Pict find ures the and charming Songs' just

      manner . I am an enthusiast of Caldecott ' s works , but prefer to enjoy them singly , and

      not two or three at a time . _ 1 write _ this not __ as — a complaintbut . merely

      to point out what I consider „ x an error , _ __ of judg - ment on the part of the publishers or those

      responsible for choosing a transparent paper when for the purpose an opaque one would be

      much more desirable . I do , however , comnl lain n . in that that two two ot of the tlm n finest nest pictures niV . tnrpft m in the thft
