THE END. HARPER'S NEW CATALOGUE A NEW DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF HARPER & BROTHERS' PUBLICATIONS is now ready for distribution, and may be obtained gratuitously on application to the Publishers personally, or by letter, post-paid. The attention of gentlemen, in town or country, designing to form Libraries or enrich their literary collections, is respectfully invited to this Catalogue, which will be found to comprise a large proportion of the standard and most esteemed works in English Literature--COMPREHENDING ABOUT TWO THOUSAND VOLUMES--which are offered in most instances at less than one half the cost of similar productions in England.
