Description:Excerpt from William Jordan Junior This small shop in which a thousand and one volumes huddled, like corpses in a chasm, seemed almost to form an intermediary between the real on the one hand, and the chimerical on the other. On its shelves, in a limbo of darkness and neglect, lay the dead, the dying, and the imperishable. Buried in dust and decay, in covers that could hardly hold together, were pregnant annotations upon the human comedy. On the upper shelves were tomes whose destiny it had been to hold back the hands Of time, and had duly fulfilled it. Below these were a thousand formulas which had proved disconcert ing to man. Still, however, as in the sodden and shadow-fraught chimera beyond the shutters, even here darkness did not reign Inviolate. There were tiny lamps on this shelf and that: like those in the street without the power to Offer more than a ﬂicker of light, yet able to suggest that the blackest night is susceptible of challenge. A candle shone here and there in the gloom, faint yet invincible, like a will-o'-the-wisp that hops about the mounds in a cemetery. Opening out of the shop was a little inner room. It was from this that the thread of light proceeded. This tiny chamber, some twelve feet by sixteen, had little furniture. In the centre was a quaint Old table. A curious tome of yellow parchments was spread open upon it. Built into the outer wall was a cup board. Its heavy oak door was studded with nails and strongly secured. In the grate the fire was bright; the bare ﬂoor and walls were spotless; and from the low ceiling depended a lamp in the form of a censer whose light was soft yet clear.
