THE AMERICAN BIBLIOPOLIST.

A Bi-Monthly Literary Register and Repository of Notes and Queries.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The new volume of the AMErican BibliopOLIST has come to us from the binder's hands, a stout octavo of 550 and odd pages. This publication, though nominally addressed to book-buyers, furnishes a large amount of curious and entertaining information for all lovers of literature. It is not the mouthpiece of any set, and its criticisms of catalogues and books are refreshingly independent and piquant.-Nation.

A Monthly Register of the Progress of Literature, which enjoys a wide popularity for the spice and vinegar which season its pages.-Evening Telegram.

The AMERICAN BIBLIOPOLIST is the only real "Literary Register and Monthiy Catalogue of Old and New Books issued in this country. In addition to its valuable lists of rare old books, and its catalogues of new ones, the BIBLIOPOLIST Contains monthly correspondence on all sorts of literary subjects, and from all quarters. A most interesting and important feature of this work is in its department of "Notes and Queries," in which curious words, old traditions, ancient customs, and other subjects in which antiquaries delight, are discussed by correspondents among themselves. Mr. Sabin, Sr., is one of the oldest book collectors in the United States, and has bought and sold more books, and at higher prices, than any other living collector. It was he who paid $1,130 for Eliot's Indian Bible at an auction sale in 1868, and it was he, we believe, who purchased the greater part of the celebrated library belonging to Mr. Rice, of Chicago. Sabin's establishment, in Nassau street, is one of the most interesting curiosity shops in New York for the book worm, and at all times may be seen there two or three of our best known bibliolaters poring over the pages of the curious or rare old volumes of which Sabin feels so proud.-School Journal.

Mr. Sabin as made the issues of his AMERICAN BIBLIOPOLIST, during the past year, of great interest to all lovers of "Notes and Queries," and literary antiquities in general. We have before us the bourd volume for 1871, a goodly octavo, which should be welcome to many a library. We notice that it is dedicated "to Thomas F. Donnelly" (our "book-worm "), "a young but earnest coadjutor in the world of letters."-Evening Mail.

This a more than ordinarily interesting number, containing, as it does, a large amount of valuable and entertaining literary matter, besides the announcements of recent and prospective publications. To a man or woman engaged in literary pursuits, such a work as this is simply invaluable, combining, as it does, the features of the London "Notes and Queries," with a complete catalogue of the works issued from the British and American press during the month. It is printed on fine toned paper, and is just the work to gladden the heart of the book-lover.-Brooklyn Times.

The AMERICAN BIBLIOPOLIST is invaluable to those who wish to be kept acquainted with events of permanent interest in the library world, and particularly to those who are interested in the curiosities of literature. The November number contains an account of the libraries of Chicago-those which were destroyed and those which were saved-and is rich in зelected articles, notes, and items-N. Y. Methodist.

The BIBLIOPOLIST is admirably edited. I suppose by our senior," learned in bibliography. Thank you for all that you sent me.-S. Austin Allibone.

The AMERICAN BIBLIOPOLIST, in addition to a great variety of interesting literary announcements, abounds with bibliographical and antiquariar details, which cannot fail to gratify the curiosity of the patient book-worm-N. Y. Tribune.

The January number of this Literary Register is on our table. This number has fifty-six pages of varied contents of peculiar interest to the student of literature and the lover of

books. The department of "Notes and Queries" is well filled in the number before us, embracing a wide range of topics, such as bibliographical, historical, antiquarian, et The critical notices of old and new books, scattered through the extensive catalogues of publications, is interesting to every person of literary inclination.—Austin (Texas) Demo

crat.

The BIBLIOPOLIST presents an unusual array of matter, learned, critical, and antiquarian, but principally in the form of Notes and Queries. An article headed "How Novels are Made," gives the origin of the incident in "Foul Play. claimed in common by Charles Reade and Mrs. Southworth, in an incident developed in a criminal trial at the Old Bailey in February, 1867, in which the mate of a ship plying between Newport and Shanghai was convicted of having feloniously scuttled the vessel. There is also an able paper on the sup posed discovery of the original manuscript of "Don Quix ote," another of the illustration of books, and the usual literary gossip. -Home Journal.

No Bibliopole should neglect to subscribe to this publication; its interest and value to him is almost inestimable. The December issue is especially good. It gives notice of some of the most noticeable new books, catalogue of books for sale, literary gossip, a review of the London season, some curious "notes and queries," interesting correspondence on a variety of topics, and some valuable articles on subjects relating to literature.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

The BIBLIOPOLIST is undoubtedly the most interesting and worth preserving literary record within our knowledge -Boston Pilot.

Sabin's BIBLIOPOLIST contains its usual literary feast of notes and queries, some interesting correspondence, and catalogues of rare and valuable works. We extract the following, throwing light on the topography of New York City two hundred and ten years ago.-Jewish Messenger.

This Literary Register and Monthly Catalogue of Old and New Books, is very interesting, and to those desirous of keeping posted in the book world, almost indispensable. Its chapter on Notes and Queries is a very interesting department, and embraces literary, historical, and antiquarian subjects, etc. -Austin (Texas) Statesman.

Sabin's AMERICAN BIBLIOPOLIST for January contains, in addition to its usual catalogue of books, twenty-one pages of very entertaining literary gossip and correspondence. The cheap edition of this periodical is furnished at an almost nominal price, and the work itself is indispensable to an book-collectors and antiquarians.-N. Y. Evening Post.

The department entitled "Notes and Queries" of the AMERICAN BIBLIOPOLIST is a repository for all sorts of out of the way and at the same time interesting literary informa tron. Thus, among other items in the May number, there is a brief discussion in reference to the origin of the expression "By Hook or by Crook," and also an inquiry as to the origin of the term "Hotch Pot." The BIBLIOPOLIST has also, interesting literary gossip; an article on "Was Shakespeare a Soldier?" by W. P. Thoms; a lengthy correspondence from different persons in reference to "The Original of Oliver Twist ;" and its usual lists of books, rare, curious, and useful.-College Courant.

J. Sabin & Sons have brought their AMERICAN BIBLIOPOLIST, which is primarily a "Literary Register and Monthly Catalogue of New and Old Books," to a point of great interest, as a "Repository of Notes and Queries" also; and every lover of curious inquiries into the origin of words, customs, etc.-in short all antiquities of a literary character or bearing-ought to possess this ingenious and useful magazine.-Christian Union

The BIBLIOPOLIST circulates largely among the book buyers, and is an admirable advertising medium fer Book sellers and Publishers. Annual Subscription $1.25, inclusive of prepaid postage.
