Thanks for the thoughtful response. I searched for the article through the Chronicling America website as best as I could, but got no hits (though I did come across a funny headline about a certain Mr. Ponzi making millions for his investors). Today's newspapers have their archives behind a paywall, so I'm not going there. Sadly, I must withdraw my submission for now. I hope you enjoyed it anyhow.

The quality of the scan isn't great, but here is a PD source for the article you recorded.

Here is a piece on Human Longevity from Buchanan's Journal of Man, April 1887 by Joseph R. Buchanan (1814-1899)

Hi Lynne, Thanks for your contribution to vol. 59! This looks like an interesting article. I'll be able to PL it tomorrow.

Ahh... This is LibriVox at its best; people working together to "record all the books in the Public Domain." Thank you, Jo, for ferreting out a source for Rick. I'll PM him to let him know he's "back in the game."

Oh my goodness, that is some sleuthing! Thank you so much! What a team!

Hi Don, Welcome to the Nonfiction Collection! Thank you for this lively contribution! Mr. Chandler certainly did not mince his words: "The lending, if sanctioned in any form, will at first be limited, it will rapidly become unlimited. A rat-hole in a dyke lets the water in at first in a dribble, then in a stream, finally away goes the dyke and irreparable mischief is done. So will it be with lending, only that the dyke which defends the Bodleian will be bored in an indefinite number of places. Every borrower will act the part of a rat."

I remember our books that could not be removed from the Clintonville library. Just a little library too.
