 changed against the tenth part 0/ one good History 0/ Booksellers.'* — Thomas 

 Carlvle. 



"This stout little book is unquestionably amusing. Ill-starred, indeed, must be 

 the reader who, opening it anywhere, lights upon six consecutiye pages within the 

 entire compass of which some good anecdote or smart repartee is not to be found."

" Mr. Curwen has produced an interesting work." — Daily News. 



" The * History of Booksellers ' will not merely repay perusal, but ought to have a 

 permanent place on library shtWes."— Court Circular.
