Classed Catalogue Of Printed Books

Excerpt from Classed Catalogue of Printed Books The collection is necessarily quite general in character, being a library of reference for connoisseurs and art - historians, as well as for practical artists and art-students who have to introduce heraldry into their designs.

Excerpt from Classed Catalogue of Printed Books: Ceramics The present catalogue is the first of a new series which has been devised and undertaken with the view of enabling every reader to ascertain with the least possible trouble what works the National Art Library contains on any particular branch of art. In addition to books and pamphlets specially relating to the subject these catalogues will contain the titles of others which incidentally illustrate it, a reference in all such cases being given to the page or plate to which the student's attention should be directed. Those who consult this catalogue are requested to bear in mind that the order followed in the sub-divisions of each section is chronological, and that works are entered under one heading only, namely, that to which they chiefly relate. Cross-references are added at the end of each sub-division to works entered else where which should be consulted.
