No books which have been advertised for in any other publication are admissible. 4. Catalogues wanted, or Books bearing upon specific subjects mentioned generally, and not by name, or more books than five, must be paid for at the rate of sixpence each article, and stamps sent with the list. 5. Lists must be received by the 25th of the month. 6. The Editor holds himself at liberty to reject or leave out any book he may think proper, not enter into any correspondence respecting omissions. and will As any infraction of these rules may lead to the rejection of the entire list, and thus cause delay and disappointment, Subscribers are requested to observe this notice.
