The Book-Analyst

AND

LIBRARY GUIDE.
A WEEKLY JOURNAL FOR READERS, TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS.

ONE of the great features of THE BOOK-ANALYST AND LIBRARY GUIDE is the classification of every subject under its particular head, so that the reader, be he politician, theologian, teacher, doctor or historian, will be able at once to light on the particular information he requires, without having to wade through an immense mass of irrelevant matter. Let us take for example a busy schoolmaster in the provinces; he turns to the subject of Education and finds analyses of the latest school books, announcements of new ones about to appear, references to articles on Education published in the leading magazines, to parliamentary reports, and also to educational papers read before learned societies. He is thus kept continually posted up in the information necessary for him to possess, without having to hunt for it at the cost of much time and no little patience.

To give an analysis of every book of importance that comes into the British book market, is a somewhat colossal task, but the Editor and his coadjutors are determined to leave no means untried of accomplishing their purpose. For reasons that will be obvious to all, the first few numbers of a periodical like the BOOK-ANALYST AND LIBRARY GUIDE will necessarily show a number of defects, which can only be avoided by the co-operation of authors and publishers throughout the country, and to them the Editor confidently appeals for help in carrying out a scheme that must, in the end, benefit both the book-buyer and the bookseller.
