The CONDITION of the Books is generally all that a collector of the most critical taste could desire. The proportion of UNCUT and LARGE PAPER COPIES is unusually large.

The Binding is of the best order, and includes some of the choicest specimens of the workmanship of Francis Bedford, W. Pratt, and Charles Lewis, of London; William Mathews, J. M. Bradstreet & Son, and R. W. Smith, of New York; Pawson and Nicholson, of Philadelphia, and a few especially fine by David and other French artists.

The Catalogue has been made with great rapidity, and this circumstance must be accepted as an apology for some of the errors which have occurred, several of which are pointed out in the "errata." Brief notes

of the titles and condition of the books were taken in Chicago, between the 1st and 7th of December last, and the Catalogue has been elaborated from a previous acquaintance with the books, a large proportion-nearly four-fifths of them having already passed through our hands, and we are enabled to guarantee all the books perfect, unless otherwise stated in the Catalogue; and notwithstanding the frequent use of the "adjective," the buyers at this sale will be satisfied, when they get their purchases, that we have not overstated the merits. of the books. To facilitate a reference to the contents of the Catalogue, which is arranged alphabetically, an

Index of Subjects has been prepared, which we hope will be found useful, if not absolutely correct.

Be

To conclude, we sincerely hope that the buyers at this sale will not be backward in emulating the enthusiasm, determination, and liberality exhibited by their present owner, and that the financial result will be such as to stimulate the ardor of every other collector. it remembered, that such a sale is the bibliographical event of the period, that several of the books in this Library are UNIQUE, that the Public Libraries are rapidly absorbing rare and valuable books-some of them will be bought for European Libraries, and are not likely to reappear in this market. Finally, we believe the BIBLIOMANIA is in the ascendant, and that with many of these books it is-Now or NEVER. J. SABIN & SONS,

NEW YORK, Feb. 15th, 1870.
