 LOW, SON, & CO. have recently made ar-

 Co., the eminent Book Salesmen of New York, 

 for the commencement of an Agency, the need 

 of which has long been experienced by English 

 Authors and Publishers, consisting of a dep6t 

 in New York for the reception of English 

 Books, in connexion with a well -organised 

 system of bringing the merits of such Books, by 

 Sample, Catalogue, &c., before the notice of the 

 Bookselling Trade throughout the States. 



For this purpose no house in America is so 

 well qualified by position and knowledge aa 

 Messrs. Bangs', and this enables LOW, SON, 

 & CO. to undertake that the instructions of 

 Consigners shall be carried out, whether for 

 absolute sale of Consignments by auction or for 

 sale by regular demand to net a fixed price. 



The consignment of New Books as published 

 is requested, the forwarding of which will be 

 promptly attended to each week, and settle- 

 ments therefor guaranteed.
