PHILOBIBLION is thanked for his suggestion, that we should "print lists
of all the books printed by the Roxburgh, Abbotsford, Camden,
Spottiswoode, and other publishing Clubs and Societies." His suggestion
had, however, been anticipated: arrangements are making for giving not
only the information suggested by PHILOBIBLION, but also particulars
of the works issued by the different Continental publishing Societies,
such as _La Societe de L'Histoire de France_, _Der Literaische Verein in
Stuttgart_, and the _Svenska Fornskrift-Saellskap_ of Stockholm, so that
the English reader may be put into possession of facts connected with
these Societies not to be found elsewhere.
MANCHESTER (Box 720.) is thanked for his suggestion.
BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED. We believe that this will prove one of
the most useful divisions of our weekly sheet. Gentlemen who may be
unable to meet with any book or volume of which they are in want may,
upon furnishing name, date, size, &c., have it inserted in this List
_free of cost_. Persons having such volumes to dispose of are requested
to send reports of price, &c. to Mr. Bell, our publisher.
