“The files we have had bound are so popular as to be in danger of being literally read to pieces; and, knowing well that the new ones will meet the same treatment, we earnestly hope that the time will never come when it will be impossible to replace them; for they are a source of too much enjoyment and benefit to our young people to be allowed to get out of print—that would be a great misfortune.”
_—Extract from letter of the Librarian of the Morse Institute, Natick, Mass., ordering the first nineteen volumes of_ WIDE AWAKE.
