 "N the year 1886 I issued a Catalogue of Wigan and District 
 Books and Pamphlets. Since that date by purchase and 
 donation a large amount of material has accumulated, and the 
 scope of the Collection has greatly extended. Its value to the 
 local historian must always be important, the motto placed at 
 the head of these forewords, chosen by the eminent bibliographer, 
 Mr. W. C. Berwick Sayers, fitly describing the method of its 
 acquisition. To that motto I would append the one upon our 
 Reference I^ibrary bookplate: " TOt tiul, ilii aprs,"
