Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Books in the Celtic Department That the University Library Committee undertake that the Celtic Library will be carefully housed in the Library of the Uni versity, free of any charge upon the Highland Association. That such a sum as may be available be expended by the said Library Committee in adding to and maintaining the Celtic Library from time to time. That the volumes shall be lent out to members of the Association upon the written authority of the Secretary for the time, free of charge, subject to the general regulations of the Library; but that the Association shall be responsible for such books while lent to borrowing members. That a Catalogue of the Celtic books shall be prepared and printed by the University Library Committee, and a reasonable number supplied to the Association free of cost. Generally such other bye-laws as may be hereafter mutually agreed on for maintaining and increasing the Celtic Library, and for making it available to students of Celtic Literature, particularly and primarily to members of the Association. With Dr. Masson's volumes have been combined those on cognate subjects previously in the University Library, and the list now issued includes the titles of all the books in the Celtic Department. The Catalogue has had the benefit of revision in proof by Dr. Masson, by the Rev. Duncan Macgregor, Inverallochy, and by Mr. William Dey, LL.D., Aberdeen. The sum that can be set aside from the University Library funds for the purpose of adding to the Celtic Department is very small, and the Library Committee confidently appeals to former students and to all friends of the University to increase its usefulness by the donation of books or pamphlets not entered in this Catalogue. All such gifts, however small, will be gratefully received and acknowledged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
