WILLIAM H. REID, STATE BINDER, AUGUSTA. HE binder tie.s the printed leaves, as reapers I>illd the grain in sheaves, And consummation thus bnparts 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 r or show: the book itself, you cannot know Until you l'ead it thru and thru, as friends and neighbors have read you. The honest volUlne's like the man; substantial, firln and built to stand; Augusta's lrnown him thus for years and held him high among his peers. Aud thus, it's everywhere agreed; If',t him, who binds our books, be Reid.
