Borrowed Books.

A PERSON who borrows a book has no right to lend it to another without the express permission of the owner.
A borrowed book should be covered, and handled with care and nicety, and returned promptly.
No one has a right to retain a borrowed book during an indefinite period.
If accident or injury result to a borrowed volume while away from its owner, honor requires that it shall be replaced by a new copy.
Never ask the loan of a very costly book, or one belonging to a set, if you can avoid it.
Teach children from the first to be particular in regard to their handling of all books, whether their own or those of others.—Sel.
