DES LIVRES FRANÇAIS, ITALIENS, ESPAGNOLS, ETC., TANT ANCIENS QUE MODERNES, QUI SE TROUVENT CHEZ BARTHÉS ET LOWELL (ANCIENNE MAISON BOSSANGE, BARTHÉS ET LOWELL). ADDRESS. The Catalogue now offered to the amateurs of Foreign books contains a selection of the best productions of French, Italian and Spanish literature of the last and present century. In it will be found many works collected by ourselves during repeated journies on the Continent, which perhaps would never have reached this country but from this method of purchasing them. We beg to refer to the classification of the present catalogue; particularly in the divisions of RELIGION, JURISPRUDENCE, DIPLOMATIE, STATISTIQUE, SCIENCES ET ARTS, MATHÉMATIQUES, TRANSACTIONS, JEUX, ART CULINAIRE; but above all to the division of BEAUX-ARTS, containing all the finest and we may say a matchless collection of works on ARCHITECTURE, PAINTING, SCULPTURE, the CERAMIC ARTS, VASES, STAINED GLASS, COSTUME and ARCHEOLOGY. Under the head of HISTOIRE will be found a detailed account of all the French historical works published by the French Government—namely, the COLLECTION de Documents sur L'HISTOIRE DE FRANCE published under the editorship of MONSIEUR GUIZOT, THE MEMOIRS, WORKS RELATING TO NAPOLÉON, NUMISMATICS, and last of all, the splendid Scientific Voyages undertaken by the French Savants under the munificent patronage of Louis XVIII, Charles X, Louis-Philippe and during the Present Reign. Having a house in Paris and a case leaving weekly and sometimes oftener, we are enabled to receive all the new publications as soon as they appear. All orders instrusted to us will be executed with the greatest care and despatch. London, April 1857. BARTHES & LOWELL. |
