BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MAINE. Note. The matter of the Bibliography is gathered from the following sources - Viz. our own memoranda ; the Trade-lists of publishers, recently revised and sent in ; Catalogue of the Library of Bowdoin College; and selections from a Catalogue of works by Maine authors, prepared by William Willis for the Historical Magazine, published by H. B. Dawson of Morisania, N. Y. Valuable aid has also been rendered by several friends interested in our work. With a few exceptions the selections have been confind to such works as were published in separate books or pamphlets. Our request to publishers was, that they should put no book in their lists but such as originated in Maine. Notwithstanding our care in this respect, there may be a few deviations from the rule. ln the General Alphabetical Catalogue following the publishers' lists, where it was doubtful in regard to the residence of the author, the title or character of the work is inserted in the alphabetical column ; the author's name following. OUR AUTHORS, THEIR BOOKS AND PUBLISHERS. Those houses that have sent us a Catalogue of their publications will find their Lists under their respective names.

At the age of`16 he made a profession of religion, and it was his purpose to enter the ministry, but want of' health prevented. He afterward taught school in Bristol and Bath, Me. In 1811 he entered the book-business at Bath. In 1816 he removed to Portland ; purchased the stock of Lyman and Hall, his former employers in the book-business ; also the stock of Mr. Murray, bookseller on Middle street; uniting both, and opening the store for- merly occupied by A.

Mr. Hyde aided in the establishment of the Christian Mirror in 1828 ; removed to Boston in 1830; remained there a few years, and then returned to Portland ; was there in the book-business until 1857.
