Excerpt from Catalogue of the Mercantile Library of Boston Since 1848, the date of our last printed Catalogue, the Library has increased from six thousand to sixteen thousand volumes; and, although a hastily prepared Supplement was printed in 1851, the titles Of nearly six thousand volumes, the latest and most valuable additions to the Library, were not to be found on any printed Cata logue. For more than a year, the Catalogue of 1848 has been out of print; and, for several months, the entire edition of the Supplement of 1851 has been exhausted. Hence the preparation Of a new and complete Catalogue seemed to be an imperative necessity; and this measure was strongly recommended in the Annual Report of the last Board of Government. At the monthly meeting of the present Board of Government in April last, a Committee was appointed with full powers to make the necessary arrangements for the preparation and printing of a new Catalogue. A plan proposed to the Committee by the Librarian was accepted, and to him was committed its execution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
