BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



A SELECT CATALOGUE OF BOOKS ON ALL THE BRANCHES OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE. 



IN the following list, an attempt has been made to aid the purchaser and reader 

 in the choice of books. Their number is so great, and their merits are, in many 

 cases, so nearly equal, that to make a selection would be difficult, even for a per- 

 son well acquainted with them all. The writer can, therefore, only hope that this 

 catalogue will be found to contain a large proportion of valuable works ; and that 

 its gi'eatest faults may be remedied hereafter, should a new edition be called for. 

 In order to give some idea of the extent of the works enumerated, the number of 

 volumes is generally designated by the letter v. ; and the size of each is marked 

 by a numerical abbreviation of the words folio, (2io.;) quarto, (4to. ;) octavo, (8vo.;) 

 duodecimo, (12mo.;) and octodecimo, (18mo.;) the reference being generally to 

 the American, or to the later foreign editions. The present work is of the common 

 octavo size, as explained, p. 521. The order of subjects here adopted is the same 

 as in the preceding part of the work. (p. 37.) The writer is happy to acknow- 

 ledge his obligations to Judah Dobson, Esq., of Philadelphia, for the names of 

 several recent and valuable works, which would otherwise have been inadvertently 

 omitted in the following list. Mr. Dobson's extensive agencies in the procurement 

 of foreign as well as domestic publications, have afforded him peculiar facilities 

 in bibliographical researches, which none could have more successfully pursued. 



PANTOLOGY.

Knowledge, in numbers, 8vo. ; Harper's Family Library, in numbers, 18mo. The
