To facilitate the circulation of Books at the West End of the Town, it is intended to appoint a house in a central situation for their receipt and delivery.
Boosey and Sons are desirous it should be generally understood, that they do not intend, in consequence of establishing the Library, to relinquish any branch of their Foreign and English Bookselling business; on the contrary, they trust that the impulse which Foreign Literature will receive in this country through its medium, added to the more frequent opportunities it will afford them of obtaining books from the Continent, will enable them to keep on sale a much more extensive stock of modern publications.
FOOTNOTES:
[1] This, in its turn, is only a small part of a very extensive work, the general title of which is, Geschichte der Künst und Wissenschaften seit der Wiederherstellung derselben bis an das Ende des achtzenten Jahrhunderts, von einer Gesellschaft gelehrter männer ausgearbeitet. (History of Arts and Learning from their restoration to the end of the eighteenth century, by a society of learned men.) Different authors have each taken a part in this great literary enterprize, which may be said to form an Encyclopedia, though not on the usual plan of a dictionary.
[2] There is also a French translation of Bouterwek’s volume on Spanish literature, which, as far as it goes, is correct and well executed in point of style; but notwithstanding that the translator appears to have been capable of doing justice to the work, it is greatly mutilated. The Portuguese volume, which is in some respects the more valuable of the two, is not touched by the French translator.
