DESCRIPTIVE NOTES ON LIBRARIES. lxxxi 



The library has a catalogue, but the public are not allowed 

 to see it. 



(4) Nadwat al-'Ulama' Lib. 



This library is situated at Golaganj and was founded 

 (a.h. 1328 = a.d. 1910) by Shams al-'Ulama' ShibK Nu'manl 

 (d. a.h. 1333 = a.d. 1914). It is in a very good condition and 

 contains mostly printed works, arranged in 32 big book cases. 

 I could not fully inspect its contents as it was closed before I 

 could do so, on account of some festival. For fuller details 

 vide alNadwah 1910, No. 7, p. 3, and No. 11, pp. 31-33. 



(5) M. Hakim 'A. Hayy Lib. 



This library is situated at Aminabad and has a fine collec- 

 tion of MSS. I found the owner engaged in writing three 

 voluminous and interesting works^n Arabic namely 



The above works are now complete, and are noticed below (see 

 Nos. 140, 143 and 148). 



(6) Nawwab Sayyid Nur al- Hasan Lib. 



This library is situated at Ghasyari Mandl, and had for- 

 merly a large collection of MSS., but owing to some difference 

 among the family members, its contents have been divided and 

 taken away. Now it contains mostly printed books and about 

 100 MSS. I could not inspect the library owing to the absence 

 of the Nawwab Sahib, the owner.

This library is situated behind Tahsin Masjid. It has 

 about 1 ,500 MSS. mostly by Shi'ah authors. It is in a bad con-
