the property of the Radeliffe, or Bodleian Libraries, or of the 

 Ashmolean Society. 



The Librarian takes this opportunity of pressing on the notice of 

 scientific readers, whether Professors or Students, that while it is his 

 endeavour to keep the Library up to the wants of the day in every 

 department to which the Museum is devoted, he must be in a great 

 measure dependent for his knowledge of the wants of Readers through 

 the medium of the Books of ' Libri desiderati.' 



He desires to renew his thanks for the great assistance he has 

 received from the Readers in general ; from the Sub-Librarian Mr. 

 Haines ; from Mr. Bailey the Assistant Sub-Librarian ; and the 

 Attendant Joseph Walker. Opportunities as shown by the present 

 Catalogue could not have been offered without the aid of the Rev. 

 H. O. Coxe, the distinguished Librarian of Bodley, or without that of 

 his staff: to their courtesy he is often indebted. 



It may not be out of place, and it is very gratifying to be able, to 

 state, that since the Library has been opened, and has been used by 

 persons of either sex, by residents in the city and in the county, as 

 well as by members of the University, no complaint, either of Reader 

 against Reader, nor of the officers against frequenters of this Library, 

 has reached his ears.

NOTE TO THIED EDITION. 



In printing another issue of the Catalogue of Serials, available in 

 th" Radcliffe Library at the Museum, I have only again to acknowledge 

 the constant attention of the Library Assistants, and especially of 

 Mr. Bailey, to whom the charge of the Catalogue is committed. 

 Several Periodicals appear for the first time in this edition, and 

 therefore, although the arrangement of the type has been much 

 compressed, the number of the pages is materially increased.
