In bu.ying books, as every thing else, we are liable to 

 disappointment if we make a purchase without seem,' 

 the article. Admitting that the bookseller could read all 

 the books he oilers, as he has them /or sale it were Ivirdly 

 to be expected he would be the one to mention all the 

 faults, as well as good things about a book. 1 very mucii 

 desire that tho.se who favor me with theii- patronage, shall 

 not be disappointed, and therefore, I am going to try to 

 prevent it bv mentioning all the faults s» far as I cm, 

 that the purchaser may know what he is getting. In ilie 

 following list, books that I approve I have marked with a 

 *, those I especially approve* *; those that are not u|t 

 to times t; books that contain but little matter for the 

 price, large type and much space between the lines ;^ ; 

 foreign ij.
