No Harm in Trying it, Anyway.
I see no reason why book-sLalls should nob be opened on board passenger ships as well as at railway stations. It might require some time for the business to take hold and secure an extensive connection such as would raise it to the position of agoing concern. There wouid bo features in the trade differing just so much from the railway department as to make a specialite of it ; the management would have jbo devote themselves entirely to their particular branch, and the peculiarities of the business would soon become apparent to any bookseller not abnormally incapable. An experimental bookstall or two set up on board Atlantic liners would perhaps be an advisable way of broaching the under-taking.-From the 'Tall Mall Gazette."
