PREFACE. THIS Catalogue, compiled within five months, contains a collection of Books chosen from the best Libraries recently dispersed in Europe, and forms pro tem. my stock. The arrangement in Classes will, I trust, facilitate the selections of Scholars and Collectors. The Alphabetical INDEX of AUTHORS and SUBJECTS is a new feature in a Catalogue of Old Books. The prices, affixed to each article, being very moderate, and many of the books excessively rare, I hope that Collectors and Librarians will continue their patronage, which during the last twelve years I received at 16, Castle Street, Leicester Square. Supplements to this Catalogue are issued monthly. BERNARD QUARITCH. 15 PICCADILLY, March, 1860. |
