 This Association was founded on 5th October, 1877, at the conclusion 
 of the International Conference of Librarians held at the London 
 Institution, under the presidency of the late Mr. J. Winter Jones, 
 then principal librarian of the British Museum. 
 
 Its objects are : (a) to encourage and aid by every means in its 
 power the establishment of new libraries ; (6) to endeavour to secure 
 better legislation for rate-supported libraries ; (c) to unite all persons 
 engaged or interested in library work, for the purpose of promoting the 
 best possible administration of libraries ; and (d) to encourage biblio- 
 graphical research. 
 
 The Association has, by the invitation of the Local xiuthorities, held 
 its Annual Meetings in the following towns : Oxford, Manchester, 
 Edinburgh, London, Cambridge, Liverpool, Dublin, Plymouth, Birming- 
 ham, Glasgow, Eeadmg, Nottingham, and Paris. 
 
 The Amiual Subscription is One Guinea, payable in advance, on 1st 
 January. The Life Subscription is Fifteen Guineas. Any person 
 actually engaged in library administration may become a member, Hjithout 
 election, on imyment of the Subscription to the Treasurer. Any person 
 not so engaged may be elected at the Monthly or Annual Meetings. 
 Library Assistants, approved by the Council, are admitted on pa3'ment 
 of a Subscription of Half-a-Guinea. 
 
 The ofi&cial organ of the Association is The Library, which is issued 
 monthly and sent free to members. Other publications of the Associa- 
 tion are the Transactions and Proceedings of the various Annual Meetings, 
 The Library Chronicle , 1884-1888, 5 vols., and The Library Association Year- 
 Book (price one shilling), in which will be found full particulars of the 
 work accomplished by the Association in various departments. 
 
 A small Museum of Library Appliances has been opened in the 
 Clerkenwell Public Library, Skinner Street, London, E.G., and will be 
 shown to any one interested in libraxy administration. It contains 
 Specimens of Apparatus, Catalogues, Forms, &c., and is the nucleus of a 
 larger collection contemplated by the^^^ssociation. 
 
 All communications connected with the Association should be 
 addressed to Mr. J. Y. W. MacAlister, 20 Hanover Square, London, W.

 In compliance with a widely expressed wish, the Editor has 
 decided to include in this series a number of Subject-Lists 
 which will form practical guides to the purchase of the best 
 books in the various classes dealt with. There are, no 
 doubt, many excellent guides already in the market ; but, for 
 the most part, they are too general, and, so far as the Editor 
 is aware, not one of them has been prepared by practical 
 librarians or persons who have learnt the true needs of the 
 public by daily intercourse with them at the library counter. 
 
 The Association's Lists will not profess to be exhaustive, 
 but will include all the essentials of a good collection. Mr. 
 Brown's Music list may well be taken as a model of its kind, 
 and those who know his previous work in connection with 
 the literature of Music will be assured that this, his second 
 contribution to the Association Series, is thorough and 
 practical. 
 
 The next Subject-List will be devoted to Biology, and 
 will be prepared by Mr. J. J. Ogle of the Public Library, 
 Bootle. 
 
GUIDE TO THE FORMATION OF A MUSIC 
 LIBRARY. 
 
 By James D. Brown, Clerkenwell Public Library, London. 
 
 Befoke proceeding to set out a list of books on music and of 
 collections of music suitable for public libraries, it will perhaps be 
 advisable to make a few remarks on the subject at large. As 
 most librarians are aware, the presence of music in libraries es- 
 tabUshed under the Acts has only recently been generally recog- 
 nised as desirable, and though a few— certainly not more than 
 half-a-dozen— libraries formed collections many years ago, the 
 great majority practically ignore the matter. There are still 
 librarians who deny the claims of music in any form to represen- 
 tation in public libraries, though they admit with readiness any 
 kind of picture-book ; but these will doubtless be speedily brought 
 to reason and consistency as the public demand for music becomes 
 more emphatic. Meanwhile much interest in the subject has 
 recently been awakened, and nearly every librarian, who wishes 
 to keep abreast with the popular demands of his readers, is mak- 
 ing some little provision of music and its literature. To these, 
 and to all librarians interested in the matter, this Guide is 
 especially addressed, in the hope that more systematic and better 
 informed methods of making collections of music may in future 
 obtain. I have already pointed out* the wholly inadequate 
 position assigned both to practical music and its literature in 
 nearly every public library, and need, therefore, but repeat my 
 strong belief that neither music nor any other subject should be 
 left to the manifold uncertainties of chance. It is the main object

 of this series of subject-lists to rectify what has m many instances 
 been simply library formation on the happy-go-lucky principle of 
 selection by instinct instead of knowledge ; and if this brief tract 
 does anything to remedy the haphazard method of collecting 
 music its only object will have been accomplished. 
 
 One or two difficulties confront the librarian at the very outset 
 of his task of music collection, but these need in no great measure 
 hinder progress if properly understood. The literature of music 
 presents only one difficulty, that of at first restricting selection to 
 the most necessary w^orks, but this is largely met by the method 
 adopted of marking the following list. With practical music, 
 however, the case is rather different, as the questions which arise 
 are not confined merely to selection. They spread to important 
 considerations like those of edition, notation, duplication, and the 
 provision of popular music in sheets. The first consideration I 
 have endeavoured to dispose of by indicating those editions of 
 popular classics which seemed by their form, price, or editor, to 
 best meet the requirements of public libraries. The second, 
 which concerns the purchase of staff or tonic sol-fa notation edi- 
 tions, extends chiefly to the greater vocal productions of masters 
 like Handel, and should be decided in favour of the universally 
 recognised staff notation to begin with ; demand for other editions 
 being left for later decision. A similar policy should be observed 
 as regards duplicating popular works. While in some libraries 
 the light operas of Sullivan are so much in request that duplicates 
 may seem to be a sine qua nou, there are others in which this 
 popularity is never reached, and so it may be urged that demand 
 only should be allowed to regulate the supply. With works of this 
 class, moreover, which only have a temporary vogue, it should be 
 considered that the lapse of time frequently diminishes or utterly 
 extinguishes their lustre, and common-sense should therefore dic- 
 tate caution in the matter of filling the shelves with lumber for 
 posterity. Finally, I would advise that sheet music be entirely 
 ignored, unless in the case of local composers, whose w^orks it is 
 desirable to collect on other grounds than those of public utility 
 or requirements. The enormous quantity of songs and pianoforte 
 music annually issued in sheet form is simply appalling, and 
 though now and again amidst this plethora something meritorious 
 or that takes the public fancy may emerge, it is neither the duty

 nor to the advantage of public libraries to waste money in pur- 
 chasing it in such a form, or to devise special means of storage 
 with the attendant expense. These, then, are a few of the diffi- 
 culties most likely to confront the librarian in his quest of music. 
 To this should be added a caution against buying anything but 
 works of the highest class ; and to prevent this from being done 
 in ignorance, I would recommend that advice be sought from some 
 local inusician of good standing before experimental selection is 
 attempted. Organists of large churches as a rule are well 
 qualified, and in this case would, I believe, be willing to give 
 assistance. This caution may seem superfluous to librarians who 
 understand music, but to those not so fortunate it is necessary 
 to give some warning against the array of mediocre oratorios, 
 cantatas, operas, " arrangements," services of song, and such like 
 inflated imitations of great and artistic works. 
 
 There are several practical points which demand a little dis- 
 cussion before this brief series of notes is closed. In the following 
 list of practical music the price given is that of the cheapest issue 
 of each work. These for the most part are bound in paper covers. 
 The publishers' cloth bindings are, as a rule, more expensive than 
 library contract leather bindings ; besides, being chiefly held by 
 thin muslin and thick glue, their durability is questionable. It 
 will, therefore, prove most economical in the long run to buy in 
 paper covers w^here possible, and let demand distinguish works to 
 be bound. Most of the works noted in this list are in 8vo (9" to 
 10") and 4to (12" x 9J" to 13" x 10") sizes, but it may be that 
 folios have been inadvertently included, and in such cases 
 librarians will study their own and readers' convenience by hav- 
 ing smaller sizes if possible. Of course, certain works are only 
 issued as folios. When ordering music it will often be found 
 of some advantage to approach the publishers directly, 
 especially if the selection made from the list of one firm 
 runs into a respectable amount. Discounts ranging from 
 25 to 50 per cent, will generally be allowed on a fair 
 order, and all the bother of employing an intermediary will 
 be saved. 
 
 The names and addresses of firms mentioned in the annexed 
 list will doubtless be found useful. The book-publishing firms, 
 such as Macmillan's, Longmans', the Clarendon Press, etc., 
 are so well known to librarians that there is no need to give

 Music may very often be purchased second-hand at low prices, 
 and good editions of the older classics, other than those named 
 in the list, can be bought for very little from such firms as Mr. 
 W. Eeeves, Fleet Street, London. Many good Continental firms 
 in Berlin, Frankfort-on-Maine, Leipzig, and elsewhere, also make 
 a special feature of second-hand music-selling. The second-hand 
 booksellers of London and the provinces have also occasionally 
 good and cheap parcels of music, and doubtless would give 
 more attention to the trade if sufficient encouragement was 
 forthcoming. 
 
 In this list the selection of books marked W'ith a double asterisk 
 (**) should form part of every public library, large or small, as a 
 foundation on which to build up a musical section. Other works 
 on the same subjects can be selected of course, but there should 
 be no failure to have such subjects represented. The single 
 asterisk (*) denotes works which ought in addition to be purchased 
 for libraries able to make a good start. The "E"in front of 
 entries indicates books suitable for reference only.

 In the absence of a standard anthology of the British Isles, it will be 
 needful to secure from time to time the collections of Bunting for Ireland, 
 Jones and Parry for Wales, Kitchiner for England, and Johnson, Thom- 
 son, and Smith for Scotland. Some of the modern collections are fairly 
 full, but there is nothing of a general character published.

 It may be useful to point out that a large number of cheap albums of 
 
 songs by modern composers are published by firms like Boosey, Chappell, 
 and Novello, and a selection can be made from their catalogues if con- 
 sidered necessary. Certain American houses issue collections of good 
 music in large volumes, but as they usually contain " pirated " editions of 
 copyright songs, they are ditficult to procure on account of this contraband 
 character.

 In the foregoing list a large class of music has been omitted, 
 not because of its unimportance, but solelj^ because of its diversity 
 and quantity. I refer to arrangements of operatic and other works 
 for pianoforte solo, for pianoforte duet, violin and piano, flute and 
 piano, etc. ; the great array of magnificent music roughly classed 
 in Britain as " chamber music," containing works in sonata form 
 for every possible combination of instrument; and vocal music, 
 other than songs, glees or four-part songs, such as duets and 
 trios for male and female voices. With this class of music selec- 
 tion becomes difficult even to the most expert, w^hile a catalogue 
 of the most desirable works w^ould probably fill a good-sized 
 octavo volume. The important point is to get the collection 
 started, and if readers begin to study the organ, pianoforte, 
 violin, or voice, it will be proper to consider their requests for 
 educational pabulum when they are advanced. It is possible to 
 imagine all sorts of demands being made on the musical section 
 of a public library, but until the whole question is better under- 
 stood and music is better represented in existing libraries, little 
 more need be done at this stage than to press the claims of this 
 list on every one concerned. This selection of works may be open 
 to all sorts of objections; text-books may be considered old- 
 fashioned or weak, certain deserving composers will be considered

 more worthy of a place than others of perhaps rather low standing 
 whom I have included ; but all those faults can easily be remedied 
 by reference to the personal knowledge of either committee men 
 or librarians ; while failing that, skilled local advice may readily 
 be obtained. In no case, how^ever, should any selection of music 
 be entered upon without every consideration being given to 
 possible local requirements.
