« "Ωςπερ γὰρ τὴν μέλιτταν ὁρῶμεν ἐφ ̓ ἅπαντα μὲν τὰ βλαστήματα καθιζάνουσαν, ἀφ' ἑκάστου δὲ τὰ χρήσιμα λαμβάνουσαν· οὕτω χρὴ καὶ τοὺς παιδείας ὀρεγομένους, μηδενὸς μὲν ἅπείρως ἔχειν, πανταχόθεν δὲ τὰ χρήσιμα συλλέγειν.”—ΙΣΟΚΡΑΤΟΥΣ ΠΡΟΣ ΔΗΜΟΝΙΚΟΝ.

"For as we fee the industrious, prudent bee light on every fragrant blossom, and extra&t what is useful from it, so it becomes the true lovers of learning to be ignorant of nothing that is profitable, but gather goodness and difcretion from all writers.”

DINSDALE'S TRANSLATION.

- C. A. ALVORD, PRINTER.

PROSPECTUS.

IN publishing the first number of The Philobiblion, a few words of preliminary statement may be neceffary, as to the peculiar aim and character of the Journal here announced.

The practical business experience of the Publishers, and their special correfpondence for fome years past with Librarians, Scholars, and Amateur Book Collectors in different parts of the country, have led them to believe that an useful and important defideratum in Literature might be supplied by combining the obvious utility of a priced Monthly Catalogue of a choice felection of standard works, with a series of Literary Effays, and Critical Notices of rare, curious, and valuable books. In addition to this scheme, the Publishers propose to devote a portion of the pages of The. Philobiblion to a department of "Notes and Queries," hoping thereby to render it an highly useful medium of voluntary communication between the students and literary men fcattered throughout the country, on all topics of general interest connected with literature; and in which liberal freedom of difcuffion will be permitted and encouraged. In accordance with this defign, the Publishers would respectfully solicit contributions to this portion of their Journal. The Philobiblion will be printed on India paper, and published monthly at $2.00 a year, invariably in advance.

All communications fhould be addreffed to the Publishers,
