This is the 7 these books were made.They 8 made a sheet of clay of the proper 9 and thickness, and 10 on it with a sharp stick.These books of clay, 11 they had been dried and 12 in an oven (炉灶), could last 13 as long as stone.Such books will not 14 up in a fire 15 be spoiled (损坏) by wetness; nor will they be 16 by mice or rats.It is true that they colud be 17 , but the pieces can be gathered up and 18 together.The Englishman 19 to work a long time with broken sheets discovered there before he 20 them all put together properly.
There were 30,000 sheets in library.Every book was made 21 many sheets, as our books have many 22 .It was, of course, impossible to 23 them together as we 24 now with our books.So all the clay sheets had to be 25 and the name of the book placed on every one.
