Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue of Books in the Mercantile Library, of the City of New York
The necessity of a new Catalogue of the Library has been apparent for some time, as no complete one has been made for sixteen years. The expense of the undertaking was, however, evidently to be so great that no Board until the present one has felt it safe to undertake such an extensive work. During the administration of the Board of a. Manuscript Catalogue was commenced, but for some reason was not continued. It was found to be of no material assistance towards the present Catalogue, the work having to be begun anew.
