With a constantly varying stock of volumes this list has been of necessity a somewhat hurried production; we therefore cannot claim for it any Bibliographical importance, nor does it pretend to be more than a list of books for sale, catalogued in a manner calculated, we hope, to arrest interest and attention, and thus to tempt the recipients to purchase from the numerous choice items described.
