Invitation to the curious in books. To spread the influence
of science, extend the benefits of learning, enlighten the
mind absorbed in ignorance, and enrich it with the blessings
of knowledge. . . [28 lines extolling the benefits of
reading books.]
Note. The newest plays, magazines, reviews, and other
periodical British and American publications, down to the
present year.
Since 'tis a Godlike attribute to know.
Visit our store of learning ere you go;
Tho' small it seems-- you'll find within a feast,
I'm confident will suit each diff'rent taste.
Come take a peep-- you're welcome first to try
Our diff'rent sort of food before you buy.
