FOREIGN LITERATURE.
PROSPECTUS OF A
CIRCULATING LIBRARY,
EXCLUSIVELY DEVOTED TO
FOREIGN LITERATURE,
By BOOSEY and SONS,
FOREIGN AND ENGLISH BOOKSELLERS,
4, BROAD STREET, EXCHANGE.
It has long been a subject of surprise and regret with Foreigners, and with those of our own countrymen acquainted with their Literature, that no establishment for the circulation of Books in the FOREIGN LANGUAGES, should have been formed in this country.
If this opinion was prevalent during the late war, how must it have gained ground latterly, owing to the gradual increase which, since that period, Foreign Literature has been making in the number of its votaries in this country.
With the view of supplying this desideratum in Literature, Boosey and Sons, (after an experience of thirty years as Foreign and English Booksellers,) have been induced, at the particular request of many of their Friends, who have promised them their support and patronage, to undertake the establishment of a Circulating Library for Foreign Books ONLY, upon an extensive scale.
As it is their intention to spare neither pains nor expence in rendering it as complete as possible, they confidently hope that it will meet with the approbation of the Public.
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.
