This work aims at facilitating the researches of the Bibliophile, the Librarian and the professional Bookseller, and is the esSence of sixteen years of patient study and experience, presented concisely in a simple and eminently useful manner. The author claims that it is an inventory of Hispanic-American Literature. ‘‘ For example, the catalogues of Salva and Ticknor, the library of Gallardo, and the best- known works of this kind, only give an account of the works which they possess or have seen; but no publication exists in which we can see, arranged in chronological order, all the editions of our most celebrated writers.’ We are the sole agents for the above Bibliography for Great Britain, the British Empire, and the U.S.A.
