This supplement contains a complete A-Z listing with all book sizes and prices listed. Among the topics represented are theology, medicine, physics, geography, arithmetic, chemistry and history. Georgi, who also provides a forword, was a Leipzig bookseller and publisher. Decorative head and trail pieces. Boards detached with considerable wear and stamped with "Mercantile Library Co." Pages foxed and brittle. Library stamp on title page. Spine lacking.
