and newly patented plan, entirely doing away with the unsightly screws
hitherto necessary on the outside of books of this class.

THE FIFTH EDITION OF

and all that experience can suggest has been carried out to make it
worthy the use of even the most advanced collectors, and adaptable to
any arrangement that may be desirable.

who arrange their collections by the Catalogue published by ourselves
or any other standard list. This Album is also peculiarly suitable for

leaf has a double linen joint on an entirely new plan, allowing the
