PROSPECTUS

SECOND SERIES of this Catalogue uniform with the First Series (2 Volumes 1862) has now been commenced, and a specimen part is sent herewith.

All the Books described are in stock, and our object is firstly to catalogue them for sale, and secondly by carefully giving the titles in full with accurate collations and occasional descriptive, historical, geographical, and biographical notes, to form at the same time a useful bibliographical work of reference.

Owing to the expense and labour attending the publication of such a catalogue, we feel we cannot afford to distribute the work gratuitously, and Librarians and Collectors are therefore invited to aid us in our work by becoming subscribers.

It is estimated that the full titles and collations of the books now in stock, some ten or twelve thousand, will fill
