State Library Bulletin Bibliography no. 19 December 1899 COLLEGE LIBRARIES IN THE UNITED STATES CONTRIBUTION TOWARD A BIBLIOGRAPHY College catalogues and presidents' reports have been omitted from this list as have also articles devoted largely to other matter relating to colleges. Thus library statistics in the World and New York tribune almanacs, annual reports of the United States bureau of education, College year-book, etc. have been omitted. The arrangement is alphabetic under the heads "General articles" and "Individual colleges." Under each college historical and descriptive matter relating to the library has been placed first and where the amount of material made it advisable a separate group has been made of reports, circulars, etc. arranged chronologically; these are followed by library catalogues, bulletins, etc. in chronologic order. The material for the list has been obtained in the following libraries : New York state, Library of congress, Harvard university, Boston public, Boston Athenaeum. Call numbers are given for all books in the New York state library. The class number only is given for books not yet added to the card catalogue. Books in the New York state law library are marked Law library. Books marked e have been personally examined; for those marked f the entries were furnished by the respective institutions. before an entry indicates that it has been taken from C: A. Cutter's "List of printed catalogues of public libraries" in Public libraries in the United States, 1876, 1: 577-622, and has not been verified. Volume and page numbers are separated by a colon; e. g. 6: 170 means vol. 6, p. 170. The following are the principal abbreviations used. Others are selfexplanatory. Owing to the extent of the subject, limited time and the large number of indirect sources from which data were secured the list is necessarily incomplete and the compiler therefore requests that any additions or corrections noted be sent to him at the Library of congress, Washington, D. C. PRINCIPAL BIBLIOGRAPHIC AIDS CONSULTED Besides the library catalogues marked e in this list the following bibliographic aids were found of great service: Bartlett, J: R.
