“ In many cases where the complete works of the author mentioned are beyond the means of the general public we have added some selection or abridgment. In many cases where the books mentioned are out of print, a second-hand price has been given: these prices represent, however, not so much the lowest sum for which a lucky purchaser may hope to pick up the books as the highest price which he should reasonably be charged. ”
