NOW READY.

The American Catalogue.

VOL. I: AUTHORS AND TITLES;

PART I. A-EDWARDS

The first part of the main volume of the American Catalogue is now ready for delivery.

This part covers 224 large quarto pages, and includes over 17,000 entries by author or title.

This long-desired Finding List, by which any book in the market can at once be traced, will be found a trade necessity in the smallest bookstore-saving its cost in sales and labor in a few months. It gives a complete alphabetical index not only to the Trade List Annual, but to the catalogues of over nine hundred publishers and importers.

As the edition will be limited, depending on the subscriptions to this first part, copies cannot be assured except to those subscribing at once. The work is not stereotyped.

Price of the Catalogue complete, including second (subject) volume, $25. Subscribers are required to deposit $5 guarantee; the first volume will then be delivered in four parts, at $2.50 each, making $15 for the main volume of the work. If the guarantee is not deposited, the charge will be $4 per part, or $16 for the volume. Covers for binding will be furnished to subscribers on completion of the volume, without further charge.

As the great cost of the work can be covered only by general support, largely beyond the present subscription list, the publisher hopes to have the active aid of the trade in placing copies with libraries, private buyers, etc.

Prospectus, with sample pages, will be sent on application, and friends of the enterprise are requested to forward addresses of possible subscribers.

With 52 illustrations, maps, and diagrams. Prepared by J. GLENWORth Butler, D.D. The second volume, completing the New Testament, is expected to be ready by May, 1879.

II.

The Life of General Albert Sidney Johnston.

By his Son, Col. WILLIAM PRESTON JOHNSTON. One large octavo volume, 774 pages. With maps, a fine portrait on steel, and eight full-page illustrations. Price, in cloth, $5; sheep, $6; half turkey, $7.

This biography contains many anecdotes and illustrations of the life of a citizen and soldier on the frontier during the past half century; it gives the only accurate narrative of the Black-Hawk War, based on original documents; a succinct but entire history of Texas, from its discovery to its annexation to the United States, in which the errors of former historians are corrected; the history of the Cherokee War of 1839, by which the best part of Texas was rescued from the Indians; the opening of the Mexican War, with sketches of the Battle of Monterey; the Mormon War of 1857, conducted by General Johnston; and the Civil War in the West, from its beginning to General Johnston's death at the battle of Shiloh, written from original documents, in very many cases never before employed, and from the carefully-sifted information of survivors, now first published. The book has been prepared, in great measure, throughout from original data. It is not too much to say that it is the first account, at once truthful and full, of the campaign in Kentucky and Tennessee, in 1861-'62.

III.

2. By inserting in the Index subjects not treated of by name, on which information may be found under other names. The General Index will be supplied to subscribers at the following prices, per volume: Cloth, $5; leather, $6; half turkey, $7.
