Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Public Lending Library The Public Lending Library now contains over volumes, and these have been catalogued briefly upon what is known as the Dictionary plan, that is to say, the authors, titles, and subjects are arranged in one alphabet, like the words in a dictionary. This catalogue does not lay any claim to bibliographical completeness. The entries have, however, been made sufficiently full to identify the books, and to give a tolerably clear idea of their purpose and scope. The date and place of publication, the size of volumes, and the editions (except in a few cases) have been omitted, in view of the necessity for economy.
