NOTES AND QUERIES:

A MEDIUM OF INTER-COMMUNICATION FOR LITERARY MEN, ARTISTS,
ANTIQUARIES, GENEALOGISTS, ETC.

THE success which, in the course of twelve months, attended the endeavour to supply, by the means of this periodical, a want long felt by literary men and men of research, and the proof afforded by the completion of the Second Volume, that it has taken its place among the established Journals of the country, furnish a sufficient justification for calling the attention of Booksellers, Publishers, and all other parties connected with literary pursuits, to

NOTES AND QUERIES,

AS A MOST DESIRABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING. NOTES AND QUERIES, as will be seen by the Prospectus, contains communications from the most eminent literary men, and from the nature of those communications circulates principally among persons of wealth and intelligence-largely among the best class of book-buyers. While, in addition to the valuable matter on every subject of literary information to be found in its columns, it contains notices of BOOK SALES, BOOKSELLERS' CATALOGUES, and LISTS OF BOOKS wanted to purchase,-features which it is believed will be found valuable to dealers in old books, as well as useful to purchasers.

On the 31st of March will be commenced the Publication of a

NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY,

In Monthly Volumes, each containing Three Hundred and Twenty Pages,
and from Thirty to a Hundred Engravings,

Price Half-a-Crown, beautifully bound.

The Age in which we live is essentially of a practical character, and the predominant principle influencing all classes is a marked desire for cheapness. Cheapness, however, is too often found without excellence, and hence this proposition to supply a deficiency at present existing in the popular literature of this country.

For some time past the projectors of the present undertaking have felt interested in watching the result of an experiment simultaneously made by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Book Trades; and, having seen that cheap, and occasionally indifferent literature, "got up" in a most inferior manner, will sell, they feel assured that good and judiciously selected works, having the additional advantage of COPIOUS ILLUSTRATION, being produced with the utmost attention to general excellence, and published at the moderate price fixed upon, cannot fail to secure extensive patronage from the Reading Public. The principle upon which they can undertake to supply good books at a low rate is, that being themselves the actual producers, they are enabled to save the public the expense of all intermediate profit.

pages, illustrated according to the requirements of the subject matter, by from 30 to 100 illustrations, and will be strongly bound in ornamental cloth boards. Thus, for thirty shillings a year, in the course of a short period, a Library of great extent and interest may be formed, which shall furnish materials for instruction and amusement during the course of a long life.

The chief advantages which this series of works will present over all others-more especially the closely printed double column editions, and the new fashioned, though equally objectionable, Shilling Books, with their numerous errors, thin paper, and flimsy binding, are the following :

1. A carefully revised Text.

2. Judicious Explanatory Foot Notes.
3. Engravings really Illustrating the Text.
4. A new and legible Type.

5. Good Paper and Printing.

6. Strong neat Binding.

In carrying out their undertaking it will be the endeavour of the projectors to bestow upon Half-crown Volumes for the many the same typographical accuracy, and the same artistic ability, hitherto almost exclusively devoted to the high-priced books for the few. ported by the co-operation of the Reading Public, no pains will be spared to provide every English home with a complete treasury of knowledge and entertainment in the volumes of the "NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED

As a practical explanation of the above views, it is
proposed to publish, on the 31st of March next, THREE
SAMPLE VOLUMES of the " NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED
LIBRARY." These volumes will be widely different
in character, in order that the public may form some
idea of the extent and variety of the series generally.
Afterwards, one volume will be issued monthly.
Each volume will contain at least 320 crown octavo LIBRARY."

The following are the Volumes which will appear on the 31st of MARCH:-
BOSWELL'S LIFE OF DR. JOHNSON. Vol. J.
