ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BOOKS PUBLISHED SINCE OUR LAST ISSUE, CATALOGUE OF OLD AND NEW BOOKS FOR SALE, NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.-The GREAT ADVANTAGES we offer to advertisers in the Bibliopolist, cannot, we think, be conceded to any other similar publication. First, our terms are low; second, we are willing to take, at the publishers' net prices, Booxs in exchange for ADVERTISEMENTS. The rates for advertising, mentioned above, are cash rates. Rates, in books at net prices, are as follows: One page, $16.00; half page, $9.00; quarter page, $5.00. The same arrangements will be made with dealers in secord hand books, giving us the privilege of selection. With such an arrangement as this, publishers and booksellers can pay, at a minimum cost, what would otherwise be required in cash. For a succession of insertions, the rates will be reduced. The journal is circulated among live book buyers, and those who have books to sell will present them usefully through the Bibliopolist. This arrangement will also apply with English, French and German Publishers and Booksellers. BACK NUMBERS.-Owing to the scarcity of some numbers in Vol. I. of the American Bibliopolist, but few complete sets can be supplied, which may be had by the anxious for $2.00 each, in numbers, or bound (in black cloth) $2.50. Separate numbers may be had for twenty-five cents. POSTAGE FREE. We learn from subscribers, in some instances, that the postage fee is collected upon delivery of the American Bibliopolist. In all such cases it is collected without authority, the postage being prepaid at the office in New York City. J. SABIN & SONS, Publishers, 84 Nassau Street, New York. 14 vols. $16.00 1374.

Lond., 1787. $62.50 "A new edition, to which is added The Gospel according to Saint Mark, translated into the Mohawk language by Capt. Joseph Brant, an Indian of the Mohawk Nation."

London, 1577 $30.00 This curious BLACK Letter volume (the first English ed.) was once noticed at great length (in a newspaper) as the "Joyful Venus out of the new found world, etc." Joyful Venus indeed! had she only been discovered, and had she exercised her sway over the minds of men instead of the war-god Mars, who seems to have been the presiding genius in the Caucasian settlement of America! 1505.

DEBORAH SAMPSON'S Female Review. Dedham, 1797. 835.00 "Deborah," says the title, "was an American young lady, whose life and character are peculiarly distinguished-being a Continental soldier for nearly three years, in the late American War; during which time, she performed the duties of every department into which she was called, with punctual exactness, fidelity and honor, and preserved her character inviolate by the most artful concealment of her sex," 1962.

Burlington, 1765. $200.00 Roche's cut copy sold for $52.50. It was a fine, large, clean, and well bound copy. But here are the data upon which to estimate the proportionate value of a cut, and an uncut copy, when only one of the latter is known to exist. (This was true as regards this book, up to the time of the sale, as announced in the catalogue. Since then, cur eyes have been blessed with the sight of another copy-its peer in length, breadth and condition). It will be shrewdly guessed that either Clinton, or the highland "cheild," spiked this" big gun." Hold a moment,-Clinton got it, but much against the will of the chield, who, had he been there in propriæ personæ, his "foot upon his native heath," there had been tall fighting, worthy of the condition of this wonderful copy. $300.00 might have brought it down" to him, and placed side by side with its imperial cousin SMITH'S NEW YORK, upon large paper, as follows: 66 2088 SMITH, W. History of New York, Lond., 1757. $300.00 The fame of this Large Paper copy, scarcely oldder than that of the Smith's N. 7. uncut. The Smith's New Jersey came over from London a few years ago, and passed into the possession of J. F. Mc Coy, at a cost of (we believe) $125.00. Smith's New York, turned up at an auction sale, about two years ago, and sold for $13.50; since then it has changed hands several times and prices as follows: $75.00, 125.00, 300.00. The morocco binding by Mathews however had been added after the second change. This was comparatively but a trifle, and the present owner is happy in his possession, though it cost him ten times the price of his small paper copy. 2090. [SMITH, DR. W.] Brief State of of the Province of Penn. Lond., 1755. $17.00 With many other rare historical tracts, this was purchased by a gentleman who has resided many years in Pennsylvania -as the title hath it. 2094. SMITH. Bouquet's Expedition.” Philadelphia. W. Bradford, 1766. $33.00 Lond. ed., 1765. $13.00 SPARK'S Life of Washington. Boston, 839. 2 vols., mor. [Extra Plates.] 2095. 2129. $76.00 This book was a splendid specimen of illustration, and though $700.00 may seem a large price, it is probably far less than the cost of the material, time and labor employed in its composition. 2146. Statutes at large of the Provisional Government of the Confederate States of America. Richmond, 1864. $10.00 Lot 1826" Public Laws of the Confederate States," Richmond, 1862, brought the same price-$10.00. 'Confederate' literature will one day be the 'bone' among bibliomaniacs. There is at present, we believe, only one man in the U. S., who has a complete set of what are called the Confederate War Reports." 2155. STEELE. The Indian Captive. Montpelier, 1808. $12.00 2166.
