NOTICE.

THE present Catalogue comprises the entire Private Library of Judge Greene, with the exception of duplicate volumes of the same edition. No books have been added to the collection for sale.

Judge Greene's Library was collected for his own use, and is singularly varied and extensive. A man of delicate literary taste, it is not strange that in it are to be found many volumes of rare English Poetry not commonly met with. His antiquarian inclination also led him to perfect, as far as he might, his collections relating to American History, and especially to that of his native State. His collection of Pamphlets was large and carefully arranged.

The special feature of his Library, and the one by which it was the most widely known, is the department of American Poetry, which is catalogued by itself. It is probably the largest collection existing of that department.

The books are supposed to be perfect and in fair condition unless otherwise noted. The American books are mostly in the same condition as published, very few having been rebound. A large majority of those in boards are uncut. Many of the volumes of the English Poetry are bound substantially in calf and are in good condition.
