Bassett And are to be sold at his Shop at the George near Cliffords-Inne in Fleet street 1671. 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 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 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 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 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 Tho.
