Strana 10 - ... them it will be no impossible task to digest and publish a universal bibliography. How much this would promote the progress of knowledge by showing more distinctly what has been attempted and accomplished and what yet remains to be achieved, and by thus directing the outlay of intellect aright; how much, by rebuking the rashness which rushes into authorship ignorant of what others have written and adding to the mass of books without adding to the sum of knowledge; how much by giving confidence...
Strana 5 - In seeking a remedy for this evil, the idea occurred to me several years ago, to stereotype the titles separately, and to preserve the plates or blocks in alphabetical order of the titles ; so as to be able readily to insert additional titles in their proper places, and then to reprint the whole catalogue. By these means, the chief cost of re-publication — that of composition, together with the trouble of revision and correction of the press, would, except for the new titles, be avoided.
Strana 76 - Buonaparte; containing . . . a philosophical review of his manners and policy as a soldier, a statesman, and a sovereign : including memoirs and original anecdotes of the imperial family, and the most celebrated characters that have appeared in France during the revolution.

Strana 6 - ... stereotyped under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution. 3. The Smithsonian Institution to pay the whole extra expense of stereotyping, or such part thereof as may be agreed on. 4. The stereotyped titles to remain the property of the Smithsonian Institution. 5. Every library uniting in this plan to have the right of using all the titles in the possession of the...
Strana 8 - Again, this general catalogue would enable purchasers of books for public libraries to consult judiciously for the wants of the country. So poor are we in the books which scholars need; so long, at best, must we remain in a condition of provincial dependence in literary matters, that a responsibility to the whole country rests upon the man who selects the books for any public library. Another important benefit of this system is that it allows us to vary the form of the catalogue at will from the...
Strana 4 - ... since the last appendix was printed. Supplements soon become intolerable. The whole catalogue must then be rearranged and reprinted. The expense of this process may be borne so long as the library is small, but it soon becomes burdensome, and ere long insupportable even to national establishments. There is but one course left — not to print at all. To this no scholar consents except from necessity. But to this alternative, grievous as it is, nearly all the large libraries of Europe have been...
