Excerpt from The Library Companion: Or, the Young Man's Guide, and the Old Man's Comfort, in the Choice of a Library
I T Will be obvious, from the slightest glance at the ensuing pages, that it has been the object of their author to present a great quantity of useful informa tion Within a reasonable compass. A Work Which, like the present, aspires to be a Guide to Youth and 3 Comfort to Old Age, should be rendered at once commodious in form and moderate in price; and considering the.extent and variety of the subjects here treated, it is presumed that both these points will be found to have been accomplished in the volume now in the hands of the Public.
