HARPER'S NEW CATALOGUE

A NEW DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF HARPER & BROTHERS' PUBLICATIONS is now
ready for distribution, and may be obtained gratuitously on application
to the Publishers personally, or by letter, post-paid.

The attention of gentlemen, in town or country, designing to form
Libraries or enrich their literary collections, is respectfully
invited to this Catalogue, which will be found to comprise a large
proportion of the standard and most esteemed works in English
Literature--COMPREHENDING ABOUT TWO THOUSAND VOLUMES--which are offered
in most instances at less than one half the cost of similar productions
in England.

To Librarians and others connected with Colleges, Schools, etc., who
may not have access to a reliable guide in forming the true estimate of
literary productions, it is believed the present Catalogue will prove
especially valuable as a manual of reference.

To prevent disappointment, it is suggested that, whenever books can not
be obtained through any bookseller or local agent, applications with
remittance should be addressed direct to the Publishers, which will be
promptly attended to.

82 _Cliff Street, New York, Nov._, 1847.
