    entries , an d refe 2 , rring ^ to more r ^ than 60 , 000 books , . It combines the qualities of an ordinary alphabetical catalogue with that of an indexfor books

    are found entered under their authors , as well as under the names of the books . Except in cases where the title has not indicated the contents of

    a work , the author ' s own definition of his book has been employed . In this way , the compilers have produced a catalogue in the making of which

    the writers themselves may be said to have assisted . Only , of course , there is many a book whose title-page docs not tell you the subject

    dealt with . In such cases , the ' Manchester Reference' catalogue falls back upon the usual method . Altogetherthe compilerswhile laying

    before their immedia , te clients a comp , lete and handy catalogue to the whole of their library , may claim to have sent forth a volume of great

    general usefulness . Jt appears that the printing alone of the volume before us has occupied two years .
