Title-pages may seem too trifling a subject for many pages. Compared with the text that follows, the title is a trifle, and yet the impression made by it is not to be undervalued. It is the page first inspected, and it attracts or repels at a glance. If it does attract, praise or purchase may follow; if it does not, the book is usually closed unbought, and is ever after remembered with a dislike which will cling to the edition.
