iv PREFACE. 
A few letters have been received from anonymous corre- 
spondents, supplying omissions ‘in our prospective list of 
books, that was circulat ¢d a few months ago; and we take the 
present opportunity of cite our thanks for these atten- 
tions. nf “3 . 
The monthly booksellers’ lists, the advertisements in the 
newspapers, the catalogues in the magazines, and other peri- 
odical works, are the only public registers, from which a_ list 
of kooks can be collected; and as these are all confessedly im- 
perfect, any private communications will be gratefully accepted. 
Those, however, which relate to our first chapter, must be 
sent in good time, to be of any advantage.
