Books for Bee=keepers and Others. 



Any of these books on which postage is not given 

 will be forwarded by mail postpaid, on receipt of price. 



In buying books, as every thing else, we are liable 

 to disappointment if we make a purchase without see- 

 ing the article. Admitting that the book-seller could 

 read all the books he offers, as he has them for sale, it 

 were hardly to be expected he would be the one to 

 mention all the faults, as well as good things about 

 a book. We very much desire that those who favor us 

 with their patronage shall not be disappointed, and 

 therefore we are geing to try to prevent it by mention- 

 ing all the faults, so far as we can, that the purchaser 

 may know what he is getting. In the following li.st, 

 books that we approve we have marked with a * ; 

 those we e.specially approve, ** ; those that are not up 

 to times, f ; books that contain but little matter for 

 the price, large type, and much space between the 

 lines, I ; foreign, §. The bee-books are all good. 



As many of the bee-books are sent with other goods 

 by freight or express, incurring no postage, we give 

 prices separately. You will notice that you can judge 

 of the size of the books very well by the amount re- 

 quired for postage on each.
