136 STRAND, LONDON,

NEXT WATERLOO BRIDGE

G. WILLIS most respectfully informs his Customers and the Public, that finding the accommodation afforded by his Covent Garden establishment insufficient for the requirements of a large and increasing trade, his business is now removed to very extensive and centrally situated premises, No. 136, Strand, which probably form the largest and most convenient establishment of the kind in England.

At the same time he has entered into partnership with MR. HENRY SOTHERAN of Tower Street and the Strand, whose abilities as a Bookseller, and valuable collection of books, have been long known to the public.

As the Proprietors, from their long experience and known resources, possess unusual opportunities for conducting with success and on the most extensive scale, both at home and abroad, every department of their business, they will be enabled to offer to their customers, on the most favourable terms, such an assortment of the best Books, in every branch of Literature and the Fine Arts, as has never hitherto been brought together in a single establishment.

THE OLD AND SECOND-HAND BOOK DEPARTMENT will embrace an unrivalled collection of the best Standard Works, in all Languages, also Rare and Curious Books, Manuscripts, etc.

To the NEW BOOK DEPARTMENT will be added every work of reputation as soon as published; thus combining, what to the Book-buyer has hitherto been a desideratum, the advantages of an emporium both for Old and New Books.

In addition to a large collection of BOOKS SUITABLE FOR PRIZES AND PRESENTS there will constantly be kept on hand an extensive assortment of works of a superior character adapted to the wants of LITERARY INSTITUTIONS and PUBLIC LIBRARIES, ! estimates for which will be forwarded on application.

The MONTHLY CATALOGUE AND PRICE CURRENT OF LITERATURE, which has been published regularly for many years, will appear as heretofore on the 25th of each month.

In conclusion, G. WILLIS, while gratefully acknowledging the extensive patronage which has been bestowed on him individually for upwards of twenty years, trusts that the combined and increased exertions of himself and partner will secure its continuance, and that the confidence hitherto reposed in him will be extended to the new firm of
