Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bibliotheca Londinensis: A Classified Index to the Literature of Great Britain During Thirty Years All the Works included in the Bibliotheca Londinensis will be found in the "London Catalogue of Books published in Great Britain during the Years 1841 - 46, arranged in One Alphabet, containing their Sizes, Prices, and Publishers´ Names." It is hardly necessary, in a preface, to say much of a work of this kind, as it in a great measure speaks for itself. The want of some work that would give a complete list of the books published on particular subjects, without wading through a general catalogue, has been long complained of; and at the repeated solicitations of those who were daily experiencing the inconvenience, the present volume was undertaken. The labour and research necessary to bring this book through the press can only be known to those who are accustomed to pursuits connected with bibliography. Errors it is wholly impossible to avoid. The classification of thirty-six thousand books, ranging over a period of thirty years, cannot possibly be accomplished without immense care. However, although it is not expected that any catalogue can be complete, it may be permitted here to state that the delay in publishing the Bibliotheca Londinensis has been solely occasioned by the desire to make it as perfect as possible in repeatedly examining the different divisions of classification. This book contains a great amount of information; and, however imperfectly the task of compiling it is accomplished, there is no doubt that, to every one connected with literature, it will save much valuable time in searching after all the works written by different authors on the same subjects; whilst to those who buy books, it shows them at one glance the selection they can make, without being subject, from an imperfect memory, to purchase what is subsequently found useless. The design of this work is new, and was suggested in consequence of many persons referring to the "London Catalogue" being unable to find out the books required.
