Dear Sir:- 
The new edition of Gray's Manual v/as put upon press 
in November, and copies were out soon after the first of Januairy. 
In printing the book we omitted the line calling attention to the 
fact that this was the second issue of November, 1890, as we have 
found this notification to be very embarrassing in many cases, -par- 
ties desiring to return books which in seme cases were purchased 
a year or two previously, and demanding the new edition in place 
of said books. ¥e tlierefore simply put the book out, and trusted 
to those capable of appreciating the difference between the present 
edition and the former one imderstanding the points in its favor, 
and finding the corrections and additions wiien needed in their re- 
search. 
The copy v/hich you requested t o be sent to Mr. Weigel of 
Leipsie, Germany, was ordered sent, but through a misunderstanding 
Of our Mailing Department was not forwarded at the time. We have 
sent the same, and trust it will reach your correspondent in due 
time. The delay was really due t 
o an over cautiousness for fear
