Bouterwek, Friedrich
Portuguese literature -- History and criticism; Spanish literature -- History and criticism
The Catalogue (which is in active preparation) will contain an
extensive Collection of _French_, _German_, _Italian_, _Spanish_,
and _Portuguese_ books, including the works of the authors in those
languages who are considered as Classic Writers; also an extensive
selection of _Modern Publications_.
In order to be supplied with all New Works of interest on their _first
appearance_, BOOSEY and SONS have made arrangements
with their Correspondents to forward them, together with the best
Periodical Publications, _once every month_.
The Library will be opened to the Public as soon as the Catalogue,
which is in a great state of forwardness, can be got ready for
delivery: in the mean time a list of the Terms of Subscription
is subjoined, in order that those who feel disposed may have an
opportunity of encouraging the undertaking with their early support and
patronage.

BOOSEY and SONS are desirous it should be generally
understood, that they do not intend, in consequence of establishing
the Library, to relinquish any branch of their FOREIGN and
ENGLISH BOOKSELLING business; on the contrary, they trust
that the impulse which Foreign Literature will receive in this country
through its medium, added to the more frequent opportunities it will
afford them of obtaining books from the Continent, will enable them to
keep on sale a much more extensive stock of modern publications.
FOOTNOTES:
[1] This, in its turn, is only a small part of a very extensive work,
the general title of which is, _Geschichte der Künst und Wissenschaften
seit der Wiederherstellung derselben bis an das Ende des achtzenten
Jahrhunderts, von einer Gesellschaft gelehrter männer ausgearbeitet_.
(History of Arts and Learning from their restoration to the end of the
eighteenth century, by a society of learned men.) Different authors
have each taken a part in this great literary enterprize, which may
be said to form an Encyclopedia, though not on the usual plan of a
dictionary.
