ENGLISH AND AMERICAN REPRINTS OF OLD BOOKS
Most people are aware of the great demand there is for English
literature, and indeed for all literature in the United States: for some
years the anxiety of persons in that part of the world to obtain copies
of our early printed books, prose, poetry, and plays, has been well

American purchasers could not obtain original editions they have, in all
possible cases, secured reprints, and they have made some themselves.
