TO THE READER.
FOR several Years last past, having traded in Books, it has often happened that I have been at a loss, when, by Gentlemen (either whose Profession induced, or their Curiosity inclined them to buy Books on that Subject) an Account hath been demanded of me of all the Law-Books extant. [Page] Now for avoiding the trouble which for the future I and other Book-sellers might undergo in such case, but more especially for satisfaction of those who are desirous to be informed therein, I have collected the ensuing Catalogue, whereby the Reader will be informed of all the Law-Books now Extant, which directly, or more remotely concern the Common and Statute Law of this Realm, and of the best Editions and Prices, &c. of the same; In doing of which, I had the kind assistance of some Gentlemen of the Profession of Law. To do a thing first, and [Page] to do it perfectly, is more than (perhaps) any has as yet pretended to; and therefore this Printed Catalogue may well be capable of amendment, or additions at least, and being conscious of it, I have left blanks at the end of each Title, that what is omitted here by me, and occurs to others, may be added in their proper Places. And to the end those into whose hands this Catalogue shall come, may have it more and more perfect, if they please to have recourse to me, I shall afford them my assistance therein; and in the mean time Collect and Insert in a Catalogue [Page] I keep by me for that purpose, all Books (which upon farther search, and others Information) I find omitted, and also those that shall be hereafter Published.
Besides the encouragement I had from some, to whom I imparted my intentions concerning this Catalogue, when it was only in design, and the inducements I touched before, I apprehended, that by this Collection some advantage would redound to such, as living remote from London, are by specious Titles trepann'd into the buying of some Law-Books, [Page] before they are assured whither (in truth) the Discourse tends, which how frequently it happens, experience sufficiently convinces. The Method I have vsed, and the placing Books under the Titles I have disposed them, may probably be disliked by some; however, the Catalogue not being very long, the whole may be soon read over, which will cure that Fault. And the ends I aim at, will (I hope) excuse the attempt, and my Errors in the performance of it.
