Bibliography 797 



five thousand titles in twenty languages, not including, how- 

 ever, transactions of societies, or medicine. Following the 

 Catalogue are ninety-one pages of " Chronological Tables," 

 arranged in columns by years, giving a synchronal conspectus 

 of all those periodicals having any considerable number of 

 volumes, and showing the precise number of the volume 

 published in any given year. To this succeeds a concise 

 index of subjects under ninety-four heads, arranged alpha- 

 betically. A novel feature of this comprehensive work is the 

 library check-list indicating the library or libraries in which 

 each periodical may be found ; each of the one hundred and 

 twenty-seven principal libraries of the United States and 

 Canada being designated by a symbolic abbreviation. 



A new edition of this " Catalogue," brought down to the 

 year 1895, with about 3500 new titles, is in preparation by 

 Doctor Bolton. It will contain a new library check-list.
