f their inquiries, experienced the difficulty there is in
procuring copies of pamphlets which being for the most part originally
published for purposes of temporary interest, are rarely preserved
by binding, and consequently when afterwards wanted become extremely
difficult of attainment. We all remember the valuable Catalogue
published many years since by Mr. Rodd, of Newport Street, the father
of Mr. Thomas Rodd, and have often regretted the loss of our copy of
that extensive collection; and we record now for the information of
our readers the publication by Mr. Russell Smith, of 4. Old Compton
Street, of Part I. of a Catalogue of a singular and unique collection
of 25,000 ancient and modern Tracts and Pamphlets: containing I.
Biography, Literary History, and Criticism; II. Trials, Civil and
Criminal; III. Bibliography and Typography; IV. Heraldry and Family
History; V. Archaeology; VI. Architecture, Painting, and Sculpture;
VII. Music; VIII. Metaphysics.
