LONDON: a Star Yard, Carey St. W. C. LEIPZIG: Hospital Str. 10. PARIS: 76 Rue de Rennes. GUSTAV E. STECHERT is the only importer in America, who employs no Agents, but has his own offices at : 2 Star Yard, Carey St. W. C. . 76 Rue de Rennes. Hospital Str. 10. LONDON: where experienced clerks and assistants attend carefully to the orders from New York. That such orders can be filled better, cheaper, and quicker and with less trouble and work to the Librarian than if the books were ordered from European Agents, can easily be seen for the following reasons: I. I am in direct communication and account with all European publishers and dealers. Therefore I need not pay any commission to Agents, but always get the bottom price and often an extra discount. II. III. The Librarian saves the correspondence to various European firms and has to keep only one account. IV. As shipments are received Weekly: "Mondays from England and France and Thursdays from Germany," no order, large or small, needs to wait for accumulation of material. V. If books from England, France, and Germany are ordered, these books will congregate at New York from where they will be sent in one shipment, thereby saving the expense of packing, freight, consular fees, Custom House charges, cartage, etc. VI. Of all publications, appearing in consecutive volumes or parts, a list is kept here and abroad and continuations are sent as soon as published, without a reminder from the Librarian. VII. Being provided with a large Bibliographical material of all European countries and with a collection of Catalogues of second-hand books, I am enabled to give quotations on nearly all European and American publications, new or old. VIII. Special attention is given to the procuring of second-hand books and Sets of Periodicals, of which I keep a large stock on hand, constantly refilling by buying whole Libraries and by attending auction sales. IX. Binding is done carefully in Europe under supervision of my clerks, and pattern is kept of the binding of every first volume, so as to insure a uniformity of the succeeding volumes. X. Periodicals supplied cheaper, quicker, and in better shape than if ordered by mail from Europe. XI. American Publications at lowest rates. The following is a list of some Sets of Periodicals on hand: Geological Magazine. By I. Rupert Jones, H. Geologische Reichsanstalt. Jahrbuch.
