braiiches of trade and commerce , and even in the interest of science and art , that one feels at times almost nauseated with it .
Nevertheless , a little consideration of the subject will show that contemporary advertisements throw no little light on the tastesamusements
requirements and public opinion , of the age . , Of all trade advertisements there are
perhaps none more generally and permanently interesting and instructive than those of * The Trade , ' as it is still proudly called by its
members . Of course we mean the Book Trade . For instance , if we turn over the advertisement sheets of magazines and other serial
publications of half a century ago , we find very many ' — - — ^ j announcements — — — — — — — — — — of — books ~ - — — ¦ b ¦ y m celebrated - ^*~ ^^ » ^^ r- ¦ ** ^^ ^*^ v ^^ ^*^ ^ i ^^ B *
authors which never saw the light , or else did so under some other title . The earlier numy

knows that this romance afterwards appeared in ' Master Humphrey ' s Clock , ' under the
title of ' Barnaby Rudge . ' That such advertisements have an interest for literary
studentsmay be assumed when we learn that it is proposed to publish an account of all the contemplatedbut never completedworks of
, , Thackeray . Herr Wilhelm Meyerof Speyerwho has
been making researches , in the Library , at Munich , with a view to elucidating the early
history of the art of printing and of the Book Trade , has published some of the results of his inquiries — h - — - — — in — a — — pam h — — — -- — - — phlet : v ' — Biicheranzei — -- — - ^^ ¦ ¦ m _ ^ v - _ - ^^ v ^—^^ ^^ p ^ ^^^ gen ^^ ' ^^ h ^^^^ ^^^ ^^^ des ^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^^

itself felt by the book-printer , who could not expose his valuable productions in unglazed shop-fronts to the weatheror careless or
