Harper’s Catalogue.
A New Descriptive Catalogue of Harper & Brothers’ Publications is now ready for distribution, and may be obtained gratuitously on application to the Publishers personally, by letter inclosing Six Cents in postage stamps. The attention of gentlemen, in town or country, designing to form Libraries or enrich their literary collections, is respectfully invited to this Catalogue, which will be found to comprise a large proportion of the standard and most esteemed works in English Literature—COMPREHENDING MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND VOLUMES—which are offered, in most instances, at less than one half the cost of similar productions in England. To Librarians and others connected with Colleges, Schools, &c., who may not have access to a reliable guide in forming the true estimate of literary productions, it is believed this Catalogue will prove especially valuable as a manual of reference. To prevent disappointment, it is suggested that, whenever books can not be obtained through any bookseller or local agent, applications with remittance should be addressed direct to the Publishers, which will meet with prompt attention.
FOOTNOTES:
[A] A florin, of sixty kreutzers, is worth about 2s. English money.
[B] Even in the favorable season of the year, very few strangers escape the intermittent fever. Mr. Lambert had a slight attack of it on the second day of our arrival at Tananariva, and afterward both he and I suffered terribly from it.
