In History, Divinity, Law, Poetry, Plays, Novels, Painting, Architecture, and all other Sciences; from January the First, 1736, to January the First, 1737. Giving an Account of the Prices they sell for, and whom printed by.
Useful to all who delight in Reading, but more especially to Gentlemen, Ladies, and Booksellers in the Country; not only to let them know what Books are published, but their exact Prices.
AS all Lovers of Literature, are pleased to know what Works are published; the following LIST was principally intended, for those Gentlemen, Ladies, &c. who live remote from London, or seldom see the Multitude of News-Papers, wherein Books are advertised; that they might for a small Expence see what B O O K S have been publish'd in the Preceeding Year 1736. And what makes this Tract farther Useful, is, I have printed the Titles of the B O O K S Alphabetically, and distinguished the Booksellers Name in Italic, each Book is printed for, and its Price.
Therefore 'tis hoped the Variety this Tract affords, will yield something to please every Reader, which will be grateful to
The Editor.
