REVIEW;

From its Commencement, to the End of the Seventieth Volume. By the Rev. S. AYS COUGH,

COMPILER OF THE CATALOGUE OF UNDESCRIBED MANUSCRIPTS IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

Containing a Catalogue of the Books and Pamphlets characterized, with the Size and Price of each Article, and References to the Reviews wherein the Account of them, with the Bookfellers' Names, are inferted. Alfo an Index to the principal Extracts, Obfervations, and remarkable Paffages.

Sold by T. BECKET, Pall Mall.

AT length this Compilement, fo long and frequently called for by our Readers, hath made its appearance; and we hope it will anfwer the expectations of thofe who have been fo defirous of fuch a publication. Of the manner in which the Work hath been executed, fome idea may be formed, by attending to the following extract from the Compiler's Preface.

"The FIRST Volume contains an Index to the Titles, AUTHORS' NAMES, Sizes, and Prices of all the Books and Pamphlets (digested under their respective claffes) which are characterized in the Reviews, from the beginning of the Work, in 1749, to the end of the SEVENTIETH Volume, which was finished in the year 1784.

"In respect to the Prices of Books and Pamphlets, they are given as they stand in the Reviews; and it must be observed, that they are fometimes the prices bound, or in boards, or fewed; which it was not poffible to diftinguifh, in every inftance, with perfect accuracy. The names of the Bookfellers and Publishers will be found in the Reviews; to which the reader is conftantly directed, by the First Volume, or Catalogue part, as we may term it, of this Work.

"For the accommodation of those who may wish to know what hath been written by or concerning any particular Author, during the period of the Reviews, an INDEX to ALL the Names is added to the TABLE OF CONTENTS, of which the Firft Volume confifts.

"In the SECOND VOLUME is given an INDEX to the principal Extracts, Obfervations, and remarkable Paffages. As thefe materials could not be fo properly arranged in Claffes as thofe of the First Volume, they are wholly comprehended under one General Alphabet; and the particulars are literally copied from the original Indexes, fubjoined to the different Volumes of the Review."

To what Mr. A. hath obferved, we need only to add one remark, viz. That even to readers who are not poffeffed of fets of the Review, thefe volumes will be of great ufe, as they may, with ftri&t truth, be affirmed to comprehend the moft general, and most complete priced Catalogue that ever was offered to the Public.

It may be further obferved, with refpect to those whofe fets of the Review are incomplete, that to fuch perfons the publication before us will be found peculiarly useful, as it will, in fome measure, fup-' ply the want of thofe volumes of the Review in which their fets are deficient, and which, perhaps, are no where to be procured.' REV. March, 1786.
