Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Books Belonging to the Library Company of Philadelphia, Vol. 3: Containing the Titles Added From 1835 to 1856, Together With an Alphabetical Index to the Whole
It IS believed that the general Index hereto appended (p. 1681) Obvi ates most of the disadvantages of the supplementary character of the third volume, at the same time that it secures important ends not other wise to be attained. Volume 3 is paged continuously with volumes 1 and 2, and the alphabetical Index contains a reference to all the leading words in the titles of the whole three volumes. Thus, not only the names of all authors, translators, and annotators are indexed, but also all subjects of biography, all works of fiction, and generally such import ant words in each title, that a book may be found even if the author's name is unknown to the seeker, or if the work is anonymous. So copious an Index cannot fail, practically, to add much to the value and utility of the collection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
