The "PUBLISHERS' CIRCULAR" was established in 1837 under the Management
of a Committee of the principal Publishers of London. It contains an
Alphabetical List of every New Work and New Edition published in the
United Kingdom; together with a well-selected List of Foreign Works not
in the usual abbreviated Form, being a complete Transcript of the Title,
with the Number of Pages, Plates, Size, and Price; forming a very useful
and comprehensive Bibliographical Companion for all persons engaged in
literary pursuits.
All the principal Publishing Houses contribute their early Announcements
of New Works and their Advertisements generally.
Subscribers have also the opportunity of inserting in the regular List
of "Books Wanted" such works as are out of print, or not easily
procurable--the Publisher undertaking to communicate all replies to the
parties requiring the books, with a small advance upon the price at
which they are offered, so as to cover all expenses.
