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.—The Book Analyst, Nov. ist, 1878. EXTRACTS FROM Illustrated London News, November 9, 1878. “It supplies a brief account of the scope and contents of all new books of any importance, the principal articles in contemporary magazines and reviews, and the proceedings of learned societies both in England and abroad. The arrangement is well designed for general service.” The Library Table, November 23, 1878. "... Works are very accurately classified into departments, and even the titles of magazines and reyiew articles given under their proper heads.” The Guernsey Advertiser, November 16, 1878. “Every student is constantly experiencing the need of a classified indexi to periodical literature, and that is one of the wants which the BOOK-ANALYST will supply. We hail the work most cordially, and wish it every success." The Birmingham Daily Gazette, December 17, 1878. “ The Seventh part of this really excellent Vade mecum for librarians, students, and ordinary readers has just been issued. It contains exactly what the public would wish to know respecting a book. The style of an author is not ignored, but the principal care is devoted to indicating the actual contents of every volume of importance, its size, number of pages, price, and the name of the publishers. Of the books which are not thus noticed in detail, a careful classification is made under a comprehensive heading so that it is easy to ascertain in a few minutes the volumes which have been published during a given period on every subject. The magazines are classed in a similar manner. To every reader of books this publication is of inestimable value.” Wilts County Mirror. “It is a novel venture, but one that ought to succeed."
