INTRODUCTION

WE

E take pleasure in presenting our new Americana Catalogue embodying the results of purchases made largely from private libraries during the last two years. We may say that all the books described here are desirable items, and many are of great rarity. We would call special attention to the large number of titles under Genealogy and Family Histories.

All works mentioned in this Catalogue are now on our shelves, but in most cases we have but a single copy, so an early order is desirable. While rarities are to be found on nearly every page, our purpose has been to keep in stock out-of-print "WORKING BOOKS" of recognized value at reasonable prices. A study of this Catalogue will reveal that the prices are below the average usually asked for desirable copies. Good Americana is becoming each year scarcer and is undoubtedly increasing in value but we have, owing to our exceptional facilities for tracing and purchasing private collections entire, been able, with but few exceptions, to adhere to the prices of former years.

The descriptions are in most cases brief and all lots are in good second condition and perfect, unless otherwise described.
