Catalogue Of The Illinois State Library

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Illinois State Library, 1894 This Catalogue of the Illinois State Library is the first printed since 1880, and will, I think, be found fairly accurate. The work of preparing the copy for the printer has occupied nearly. A year, and the greatest care has been taken to avoid errors. The library contains thirty thousand volumes, besides ten or twelve thousand duplicates of State and national publications. The arrangement of this catalogue is that in general use the dictionary system. Each book is entered under its author, title and subject, and the whole arranged in one alphabetical series. The exceptions to this system are all anonymous books and those having arbitrary titles which do not admit of being placed under subjects.
