THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLER'S COMPLETE REFERENCE TRA DE LIST, AND ALPHABETICAL CATALOGUE OF BOOKS PUBLISHED IN THIS COUNTRY, WITH THE PUBLISHERS' AND AUTHORS' NAMES AND PRICES ARRANGED IN CLASSES FOR QUICK AND CONVENIENT REFERENCE. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1847, by SIMEON IDE, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the District of New Hampshire. NOTE.-We call attention to the following extract from a circalar, issued and extensively published a month or two ago, for the purpose of saying, that the returns made by Newspaper and Periodical Publishers have been so incomplete, that it is thought best to defer publishing them in this work, for the present. We shall go on, however, and perfect the lisi as fast as practicable, and hope, at no distant day, to have the pleasure of appending it hereto, in subsequent issues, together with other useful and interesting maiter for publishers : " The undersigned would heg leave to propose to Publishers of Newspapers and Pericdicals, that if they will transmit to him by mail, on receipt of this circular, a copy of their respective publications, he will. insert the name thereof, the name of the Editor and Proprietor, the price, time, frequency, and place of publication, so far as may be given in their sheet, in a conspicuous part of the work* above named. If this call be generally and promptly responded to by gentlemen of the type, it will be seen at a glance, that a mass of information may be embodied in this work of great value and importance to printers and publishers, inasmuch as it is contemplated that the American Bookseller's complete Reference Trade List " will soon be placed permanently in the hands of every Publisher, Bookseller, Librarian, and professional and literary gentlemen who are habitual customers of " the Trade,' throughout the land. It is intended to issue a Supplementary Volume, at least once a year, to embrace all additions to the list of publications of every sort, so far as they may he reported to me; and it is particularly and earnestly requested, that every publisher will forward to the subscriber, by the årst of January, in each succeeding year, till notice to the contrary be given, a correct list and a particular description of every Book, Newspaper or Periodical issued by him during the year, ending on said first day of January. By “particular description," I mean such an outline of the plan and object of the work, as is generally found in the title-page of a book, by which the character of its contents, the style of binding, size and price of the work, can be determined, with tolerable precision, without actual inspection. As it would be attended with unwarrantable expense to procure the above information by the personal application of Agents for that purpose, it remains for gentlemen of the newspaper, book and periodical press to decide, by a prompt and unanimous response to this call, whether the work in question shall be full and complete. If the plan above suggested should be cordially seconded by every gentleman of the press to whom this appeal will be made, this Book will contain an almost perfect list, alphabetically arranged, of all books, periodicals and newspapers, as well as of their editors and publishers, throughont this country, and will be worthy of a place upon the table of every citizen, of whatever calling or profession, who wishes occasionally to replenish his library, or is desirous of keeping himself informed as to the progress of literature in this widely extended country." • " The American Bookseller's complete Reference Trade List, and Alphabetical Catalogue.” Avrseniars INDEX.
