es, New York; D. Appleton &
Co. 1 vol. 8vo._

This is one of the most available and valuable bibliographical works
extant. Its object is indicated by its title. Such a book should be in
the possession of every student, scholar, book-collector, and
librarian. There is hardly a subject which can attract the attention
of an inquisitive mind, which is not included in this collection, and
the titles of the best books, in different languages, which relate to
it given in full, with the various editions, and their price. It would
be needless to dilate upon the value of such a work. The compilers
deserve the highest credit for the labor, intelligence, and expense
they have devoted to it. The cost is but one dollar.

published by Mr. T. B. Peterson, by whom the advance sheets were
procured from England.

of the community in which it is published. Spirited, independent, and
liberal, it not merely, as its name indicates, reflects the light of

good fortune.
