The Annual Catalogue (1737) Or, A New and Compleat List of All The New Books, New Editions of Books, Pamphlets, &c.

"The Annual Catalogue" by John Worrall is a detailed inventory of new publications from January 1736 to January 1737. It meticulously records books, updated editions, and pamphlets covering subjects like history, law, and poetry, providing a vital resource for readers and booksellers, specifically for those outside of London who might miss the latest literary news. The introduction highlights the book's mission to improve access to new works, catering to individuals who lack consistent exposure to London newspapers that typically announced new releases. Organized by the letter of the title, the catalogue includes publisher and price information, illustrating the wide range of intellectual and creative activity from the time and showcasing the structured effort to share knowledge to a wider audience.
