IV NOTICE. 



least three million volumes have been issued, and these 

 may fairly be taken to represent thirty million readers. 



In accepting the responsibility of so large an under- 

 taking, Messrs. Bell and Daldy desire to carry on the pro- 

 jects of Mr. Bohn with the same spirit and energy which 

 have influenced him, and they are happy to announce they 

 will have the advantage of his bibliographical knowledge 

 and large experience. 



In addition to the Libraries of ^Ir. Bohn, this Catalogue 

 comprises the various Collections published by Messrs. 

 Bell and Daldy during the last nine years, and now in 

 progress. 



These Libraries and Collections together afford a choice 

 from about 800 volumes on general literature and educa- 

 tion. 



To assist purchasers in making their selections a classi- 

 fied index is attached, by which they will be guided to the 

 subjects of the books. 



Messrs. Bell and Daldy venture to add, that the Aldine 

 Poets, Aldine Series, British Worthies, Elzevir Series, and 

 Pocket Volumes, are specially prepared for the lovers of 

 choice books, and are specimens of careful editing combined 

 with the most finished workmanship in all external features. 

 They believe that they are not surpassed in these respects 

 by any similar productions of the present day. 



Many of the above works are adapted for prizes and 

 presents ; and they may be had through any bookseller, 

 bound in a suitable style, by giving a short notice.
