Waldie's Select Circulating Library. Supplement The Journal of Belles Lettres

/ Philadelphia 1833
the supplement section "Journal of Belles Lettres" only; the designation of which issue of the main work is being supplemented is very irregular and confusing and sequence is most easily determined by referring to the whole numbers that are found inconspicuously in the lower left corner of the first page of each issue; [Part 1], Whole Numbers 1-6, 8-52 (lacking number 7 which would have supplemented New Series Volume 2, Number 3), June 18, 1833 (the first two issues are prospectuses and the first is undated)-June 24, 1834; Part II, Whole Numbers 1-26, July 1, 1834-December 23, 1834; a run of the first seventy eight issues lacking only one number, most are four to eight pages, all quarto, all in one binding of marbled paper covered boards with red calf spine and corners; binding very worn, portions of text browned but not fragile, one leaf has tear at top margin, one leaf cut short with loss of words in last line, occasional age staining, but still a better survival than would be expected; the Journal of Belles Lettres was composed mainly of book reviews culled from various British periodical sources.
