LIBRARY ACCESSIONS. 



The terms folio, quarto, octavo, etc., having become extremely 

 indefinite, it has been decided to substitute for them in the follow- 

 ing lists exact measurements, in inches and tenths of an inch, of 

 the size of the books, giving first the height, next the thickness, 

 and lastly the width. When a pamphlet possesses no measurable 

 thickness the place of that dimension is supplied by a dash. The 

 material and color of the binding are also given, keeping ever in 

 view the object of the whole description, viz., to enable any one 

 desiring any book to find it as quicklj' as possible.
