THOUSANDS OF OLD BOOKS ^X^^^^i 



of prominent public men, both in duplicate and otherwise. They cost them nothing and oft- 

 times are valued accordingly. They are. however both valued and desired by specialists and 

 parties interested. Perhaps you or your friends may have some of the identical volumes which 

 I desire, crowding library shelves or stowed away in garrets, doing nobody any good; but had I 

 them I would not only appreciate them but might know of a dozen others who would do like- 

 wise. Look over my list of wants and if you have anything I desire write me, stating what you 

 desire in exchange, and perhaps we can arrange an exchange which will be advantageous to 

 each. I will exchange for single'volumes— but the larger the exchange the better. Address,
