These last examples show a book slashed but nothing removed, and another with puerile obscenities scrawled on the text. It is a condition of admission that readers are fit and proper persons. This is a delicate way of saying they should be sane and lacking criminal records. I consider that readers attacking texts in this way have failed to meet the first condition and should be excluded from the library.
