WILLIAM H. REID, STATE BINDER, AUGUSTA. THE binder ties the printed leaves, as reapers bind the grain in sheaves, And consummation thus imparts to Art. preservative of Arts. Yet---as reading gives an inner look beyond the binding of the book, A happy thing it is indeed, when binder bears the name of · Reid. Some bindings are but built for show: the book itself, you cannot know Until you read it thru and thru, as friends and neighbors have read you. The honest volume's like the man; substantial, firm and built to stand; Augusta's known him thus for years and held him high among his peers. And thus, it's everywhere agreed; let him, who binds our books, be Reid.
