ENGELMAN'S BIBILIOTHECA SCRIPTORUM CLASSICORUM.

A little while ago, I ordered Engelman's _Bibliotheca Scriptoram
Classicorum_, purporting to contain all such works published from 1700
to 1846. It was furnished to my bookseller by a foreign bookseller in
_London_ with an English title, having _his own_ name on it as
publisher, and an invitation to purchase the books described in it _from
him_. As the paper and type were German, I objected and received in
consequence a new English title, with the same name upon it, and a
_shorter_ invitation to purchase from him. I was captious enough to
object even to this; and I then received a Leipzig title in German. But
there still remains a difficulty: for this German title has also the
name of a _Parisian_ bookseller upon it, _a la maison duquel on peut
s'adresser, &c._ Now, as Engelman is a bookseller, and would probably
not object to an order out of his own catalogue, of which he is both
author and publisher, the preceding, circumstances naturally raise the
following Queries:

1. What is the real title-page of Engelman's _Catalogue_ 2. Is the
Parisian house accredited by Engelman; or has the former served the
