SIZES, PRICE, AND PUBLISHERS' NAMES.

1816-1851.

The New Books of 1851 have been added, up to the time that each sheet passed through the press; and the publisher recommends those who purchase the "London Catalogue of Books, 1816-51," to preserve it. Subsequent editions will not embrace so long a period of years; and, as this Volume will not be reprinted, it will be well to bear in mind that the only correct record of books published some thirty-five years back, is to be found in the present edition.
