Bates Hall shall be kept open from nine o'clock A.M., until six o'clock P.M., from October to March, inclusive, and until seven o'clock during the rest of the year ; and books be- longing to that portion of the Library must in all cases be applied for and returned within those hours in Bates Hall. Bates Hall books will be delivered at the Branches, if the applicant's card and slip, properly filled in, are left at a Branch. The printed catalogues of Bates Hall and the Bulletins are kept at the Branch Libraries and at the Delivery Stations. Boxes pass to and from the Central Library daily. Note. — Readers are requested to report any undue deldy in the delivery of books. PERIODICAL READING-ROOMS. Art. 5. All persons above the age of fourteen years, of respectable character, and of such orderly conduct and condition as not to interfere with the occupations and comfort of others, shall have free access to the Reading-Rooms for Periodi- cals, during all regular hours. REGULATIONS. O Note. — The Central Reading-Koom for Periodicals is provided with seats for one hundred readers. It has the hest collection of American and Foreign Periodicals in the country, and is amply furnished with Dictiona'ries, Gazetteers, Cyclopasdias, and other books of reference, which are free of access to all. The Reading- Rooms of the Branch Libraries are on a less extended scale. When a Periodical is wanted, its name or box-number, together with the name and residence of the borrower, must be written on a slip of paper, — furnished for that purpose at the Desk, — and left with the attendant. [See Article 10.] Every Periodical received from the attendant must be returned by the borrower before leaving the Reading-Room ; and it must not be carried into any other part of the building, without special permission from some officer at the Library. Every Periodical, when re- turned, will be carefully examined by the attendant, who is required to report immediately any injury which it may have suffered. Incomplete volumes of Periodicals cannot be taken from the building, unless permission be given by the Trustees. Bound volumes of Periodicals in Bates Hall do not circulate ex- cept by permission of the Librarian or his representative. The books of reference at the Desk are to be consulted there, and returned promptly to their proper places. No reader will be allowed to accumulate them on the tables. All conversation, all avoidable noise, and unbecoming conduct of every kind, are strictly prohibited. The attendant is required to check every ir- regularity of the kind, and if necessary, to make report thereof. The attendant is not allowed to converse in this room except on Library business. Certain American magazines (bound in covers) can be taken out as four-day books until the next number ap- pears, when they become fourteen-day books. Applicants must write on a white slip the name of the magazine and the month they desire. These magazines are in the Lower Hall and Branches, the Atlantic, Century, and Harpers; with the addition in the Lower Hall of the Popular science monthly and St. Nicholas. HOME USE OF BOOKS. Art. 6. The following persons, when of orderly conduct and condition, shall be entitled to borrow books from the Library for home use, upon sign- ing* a promise to obey its Regulations. 4 REGULATIONS. First. All inhabitants of Boston above the age of fourteen years ; all clergymen and teachers who have permanent professional occupation in the city ; also the members of such higher educa- tional institutions in the city as the Trustees may from time to time permit. All such persons must have signed the application card, and given satis- factory reference to one citizen. Note. — The registration takes place in the Lower Hall, and at the Branch Libraries, and Deliveries ; and a card issued at any Branch Library or Delivery is good for Bates Hall as -well as for the Lower Hall, or for one of the Branch Libraries. Registration in more than one of these places is forbidden. The cards issued at the several Libraries have different stamps, as follows : — Central Library date East Boston • date E South Boston S date Roxbury date B Charlestown date G Brighton B date Dorchester date D South End £ date Jamaica Plain J date Lower Mills L date Roslindale Bos. date Mattapan Matt, date North End N date Neponset Z date West Roxbury TJ". B. date To change a card all books must first be returned at the Library from which they were taken ; and the old card must be properly stamped, showing that the return has been made. Second. Any other inhabitant of Boston who deposits the sum requested by the Librarian for REGULATIONS. O the volume desired, if it be permitted to circulate, or for the set to which it may belong. Such sum shall be repaid whenever the books and the receipt given therefor are returned, after any lines in- curred for injury to the book or its improper de- tention have been deducted. Kote. — Non-residents (when specially permitted, in considera- tion of the advancement of puhlic interests) may take hooks for home use, in accordance with the conditions imposed in each case by the Trustees. When the ordinary privileges are granted, a " Non-resident's card " is given at the Central Library only, and under fixed conditions. Non-resident tax-payers of Boston are denied the privilege, as such, of taking books from the building, by a vote of the City Council in 1S62. Residents may make application for special privilege cards, entitling the holder to draw more books, and to keep them longer than the rules allow ; but such cards are granted only in the in- terests of citizens at large, or of a considerable class of them, and not the advancement merely of private studies. The claims of professional authors, lecturers, teachers, and editors, will be considered on the merits of each case as presented; and accord- ingly an explicit statement should be made, to assist the authori- ties in their decision. Such privileges are sometimes granted to non-residents for fitting reasons; but non-residents must remem- ber that the rights of citizens in the Library must be interfered with by them as little as possible. Four books and four iceeks are the limits of a special privilege, except in extraordinary cases ; and two books and two weeks are all that will be ordinarily granted. Cards given are good for the time specified thereon, which shall not, however, exceed one year, and are always sub- ject to recall. Applications should be handed in person or sent by mail to the Librarian. The privilege, if granted, can only be used for books on special topics, and not for miscellaneous read- ing, or for books newly acquired, the use of which is subject to the general rules of the Library in such cases. If the applicant is not known to some one of the Trustees, or the Librarian, a recommendation from some one who is known should be made on the application. 6 REGULATIONS, Art. 7. Any person visiting the Library for the purpose of literary or scientific investigations may temporarily receive the benefit of the Reading- Rooms, and the use of the books within the Li- brary buildings. Any persons wishing to consult the Patent Specifications in the Patent Room will be permitted to do so, upon making application at the Bates Hall delivery desk at any time between 9 A.M. and G P.M. Note. — See under the head of Catalogues, in this Hand-book. A study room with tables, and ink for writing, is in the rear of the desk in the Bates Hall, and admission can be had on appli- cation. Art. 8. All books belonging to the Library may, at the discretion of the Librarian, be used in the building, and in such part of it as he may desig- nate, — a discretion which he is required by the Trustees to exercise, especially in the case of minors, and in the use of books of great value or rarity. All examination of costly or rare works must be made, if the Librarian requires it, in the presence and with the assistance of an attendant connected with the Library. The Librarians of the Branch Libraries will comply with this rule as far as applicable, under instructions from the Librarian. Art. 9. Encyclopaedias, Dictionaries, and other books needed for reference in the Library build- ings ; books not easily to be replaced, in conse- quence of their rarity or value ; books expressly given for reference only; books deemed by the REGULATIONS. . / Trustees to be misuitecl for general circulation ; and unbound periodicals, — shall be used only in the buildings. In order to allow the widest use of the Library, however, consistent with efficiency, a person desiring to borrow any book or periodical, and stating in writing reasons therefor which may seem sufficient to the Trustees, shall be permitted to borrow such book on proper terms, unless it be two-starred on the Catalogues, and labelled " For Hall Use,' 1 or one that could not be replaced if lost. Books of a purely medical character shall be issued only to adult persons and those profession- ally studying or practising the healing-art. METHOD OF DRAWING BOOKS OUT. Art. 10. Every person allowed the privilege of taking books from the Library will be fur- nished with a card setting forth his right, and bearing a record of his residence as given in his application. If this residence be changed imme- diate notice must be, given at the Library, and neg- lect to do so may subject the card-holder to forfeit- ure of his card. The registered holder is in all cases responsible for books drawn by means of his card, by whomsoever presented. Note. — See note under Akticle 6. In either Hall or Branch Library slips for books will be furnished the applicants, as they may require them. The applicant will write in the \ the officer in chai Holders of cards issued at any Branch Library REGULATIONS. ') can always take one book at time from Bi Hall; and also one from the Lower Hall, if fchej have none in use from ;m\ Branch Library. No work of fiction or juvenile book publi ;hed within one year shall be retained by the borrower for more than seven Ways, and no oilier hook more than fourteen days. No renewals are allowed. No book can be taken put again by the same borrower within twenty-four hours from its return by such borrow er. If is no! the purpose of the Library to furnish books for continuous courses of study. The transfer of a book from one card to another is not allowed. Books marked with one star ( ::< ) can be loaned only under such written regulations as the Libra- rian may pre icribe. Books marked with two stars (**) can under no circumstances leave the building; this class in eludes all books, the shelf-numbers of which are prefixed with the Letters 1), E, (>, II, and K and those in the Patent Room. Books marked with three stars (%*) are of two : — 1st. Books which cannot be loaned except by written permission of the President or of two Trustees, or, in their absence, of the Librarian. 2d. Book labelled " Fob II ill Use," which cannol Leave the building, Imi may be consulted in the gallery of Hates Hall, under such regulations be Librarian may prescribe. [See Abticle 9.1 10 REGULATIONS. Note. — Stars are prefixed in the catalogue [in volumes] to the title only which has the imprint, and not to cross references. f£zr Books loaned are at all times subject to recall for Library purposes. Books which have one star attached to them are of eevera kinds: 1. Those not easily replaced. 2. Those belonging to long sets, which, if broken, lose much of their value, and which it is often difficult to complete again. 3. Those which from their nature are hooks of reference, and hence fitted to serve a greater number in the building than when in circulation. 4. Those for reference only in Bates Hall which are duplicates of books in the Lower Hall, where sufficient copies will be kept to meet the demand. Application for one-starred books will be granted upon a slip properly filled, if the character of the book and the reasons of the applicant are approved. All these books can be used in the various halls at the discre- tion of the librarians. FINES. Art. 12. To protect the Library against loss, and to secure to all a just and equitable share in its benefit, any person who detains a volume longer than the regulations permit shall be fined two cents for each day of detention ; and pay two cents for each mailed notice, and no remission of any fine shall be made except by the Librarian. Note. — The day on which a book is taken out is not counted in casting the time, under the rules, during which a book may be detained; but Sundays are always counted, and holidays, and other days on which the Library may be closed, are also counted, except when such day happens to be one on which the count ends, and then the count shall end at the close of the first day thereafter on which the Library may be opened. Example. — A work of fiction published within one year is taken out on Monday, Feb. 1st. If returned on Monday, Feb. 8th, no fine is incurred; if not returned on that day, a mailed REGULATIONS. 11 notice is sent on the 12th, and a fine of two cents is incurred for every day after the eighth, until the book is returned, with cost of mail notice. If, for any reason, the Library he closed on the 8th, the borrower may have the 9th, or the first day subsequent on which the Library may be open, to return the book. If the book is not returned by Monday the 22d, — ten days after the notice was mailed, — a messenger notice is sent on the 23d, and an additional penalty of twenty cents, together with cost of mail notice, is demanded, whether the hook is returned early or late on that day, or any subsequent day. If the Library is closed on the 22d, the borrower has the 23d or the first open day thereafter, to return the book, and the messenger notice is sent and the penalty incurred ou the second open day. In the Lower Hall the fine must be paid at the Clerk's Desk and the card stamped before books will be delivered upon it. In the Bates Hall, the Branch Libraries, and the Branch Deliveries, the fine is to be paid at a designated desk. The Librarians of the Branch Libraries will report to the Librarian in chief cases for the remission of fines. Borroivers who return books without their Library card to be stamped off, do not secure the evidence which may be necessary to them in case of a question about the return, where the records of the Library are against thou. Art. 13. Any book detained two weeks beyond (lie time limited by these regulations shall be sent for, and an additional penalty of twenty cents shall be collected from every delinquent after the detention of a book more than four weeks ; and no book shall be delivered to any person who lias fines or penalties remaining unsettled beyond such time as may be publicly fixed. BOOKS AND CARDS NOT TO BE LENT. Art. 14. No person shall lend either his Library card or any book belonging to the Library to any one not a member of the same household. 12 REGULATIONS. Note. — The Library attendants are forbidden to use their official position to confer upon their friends any advantages in the use of books not accorded to all users of the Library. INJURIES TO BOOKS. Art. 15. All injuries to books beyond a reasona- ble wear, and all losses, shall be made good, to the satisfaction of the Librarian, by the persons liable therefor ; every book detained above three months shall be deemed lost. Note. — The following act was passed by the Legislature of Massachusetts, February 26, 1872 : — An act for the Preservation of Books and other Property belonging to Public Libraries. Be it enacted, etc., asfolloios: — Whoever wilfully and maliciously or wantonly and without cause writes upon, injures, defaces, tears, or destroys any book, plate, picture, engraving, or statue, belonging to any law, town, city, or other public library, shaU be punished by a fine of not less than five dollars nor more than fifty dollars, or by imprison- ment in the jail not exceeding six months, for every such offence. [Approved Feb. 26, 1872.] The Trustees offer a Reward of Twenty-five Dollars to any person, not in the employ of the Library, for information leading to a conviction under this law. Convictions have already been obtained, and placards with the names of offenders have been posted in the Library for a limited number of days. RETURN OF BOOKS. Art. 16. All books must be returned to the Library at such times as may be required by the Trustees, under penalty of a fine of one dollar for each volume detained ; but reasonable notice of the time when books must be returned shall be given in the newspapers of the city. REGULATIONS. 13 Note. — It is not customary to close the Library for any peri- odical examination, as that work now goes on without any inter- mission of the circulation, BOOKS NOT TO BE TAKEN FROM THE SHELVES. Art. 17. No books shall be taken from the shelves in any part of the Library by any person not employed in the service of the Library, ex- cept such books as are deposited in the public rooms for reference. CONVERSATION, ETC. Art. 18. All conversation and conduct, incon- sistent with quiet and order, are strictly pro- hibited. Note. — The use of tobacco in the building is forbidden by an order of the Trustees. ABUSES, ETC. Art. 19. Any person who abuses the privileges of the Library by unbecoming" conduct, by viola- tion of any of the regulations, by intentional defacement of a book by writing in it, or in any other way, shall be reported to the Trustees as soon as may be, and be by them thenceforth, or for a time, excluded from the Library, according to the nature and degree of the delinquency or default; but, in case of any gross offence, the Librarian or his representative may act summarily in the matter, and cause the offender to be at once 14 REGULATIONS. excluded from the building, reporting the case to the Trustees, as soon as possible, in writing, for their final decision. Art. 20. Any person removing cards from the drawers of the Card Catalogue will subject him- self to a suspension of all his library privileges for two or more weeks, at the discretion of the Librarian. The taking away of cards from the Card Catalogue mutilates it and unfits it for all purposes of reference, in as great a degree as the tearing out of its leaves does a printed catalogue. CATALOGUES. Copies of the Catalogues are always accessible in the various departments of the Library. BULLETINS. New books as soon as received are entered on the Bulletin-boards of each Library. The Bul- letin-board for Bates Hall shows newly published books added to the Central Library, and before titles appear on the Board the new books are dis- played (with the shelf-number attached) in a glass case at the desk. The lists in the Lower Hall and at the Branches show only the books added to those departments. The Dorchester list is posted also at the Lower Mills, Mattapan, and Neponset deliv- eries, and the Jamaica Plain list at the Roslindale and West Roxbury delivery. The printed Bulletins contain the new and more important books placed in the Library, with other matters deemed of interest to the readers. They are for sale (excepting those out of print) at five cents each. Books with numbers below 2110 are in the Lower Hall ; with 2110 and above, in the Bates Hall. Those with Bri., cim., Dor., e.b., j.p., i.e., Eox., s.b.,s.e., or W.R., prefixed to the number, are respectively in the Brighton, Charlestown, Dorchester, East Boston, Jamaica 16 CATALOGUES. i Plain, North End, Roxbury, South Boston, South End, or West Roxbury Branches, or Delivery Sta- tions.

These are under one alphabet, with entries by author and by subject or title. A Card Catalogue of the books in the Lower Hall may be consulted in that de- partment under the direction of the Curator of the Lower Hall Card Catalogue. It is to be remembered that there are many books in the departments of history, biography, travel, the arts and sciences, literature and the drama, and works in foreign languages i n the Lower Hall which are not to be found in the Bates Hall collection. If the book needed is not in the Upper Hall, consult the Card Catalogue in the Lower Hall, and it may possibly be found. If the Library lacks any desir- able books, readers are invited to write the titles of such books upon slips to be obtained at the Desk, and they will be ordered and notice mailed to the applicant, unless there are special reasons to the contrary. Readers are not permitted to take the cards in these drawers from beneath the wires. [See Art. 20.] The Librarian of Bates Hall and the Curators of these catalogues will assist readers, and attend to all questions. VII.

Note. — A limited number of copies of tbe Index and Supple- ment can be borrowed like other books. As the books on the shelves are classed accord- ing to subjects, the shelf-lists will frequently afford the readiest means of ascertaining the extent of the Library's general collection in any given department, and these can be consulted on appli- cation.

The Branch Library catalogues and other publi- cations will be furnished, as far as practicable, on similar terms, to be made known on application. CENTRAL PERIODICAL READING-ROOM. A list of periodicals currently received (more than 800 in number, of which about one-half are kept in the Reading-Room) is for sale at 5 cents. A List was published in December, 1878, of serial publications now taken in the principal Libraries of Boston and Cambridge. An inter- leaved copy with additions can be seen on appli- cation to the Librarian of Bates Hall. Periodicals, when removed from the Reading- room boxes, are kept assorted, and bound by CATALOGUES. 21 volumes as completed, and assigned to the shelves. In the Card Catalogue often only com- pleted and bound volumes are entered. Incom- plete numbers of periodicals and parts of other publications issued serially are indicated on a special memorandum catalogue in the Ordering Department, which can be examined on application. There are numerous periodicals in charge of the Curator of Periodicals, and others kept in the Bates Hall, which for various reasons are not put in the Reading Room. [See Articles 2 and 5 of the Regulations.] ENGRAVINGS. There is a separate List of the Portraits in the Tosti Engravings. Bulletins 13 and 15 contain a list of that portion of the Tosti collection of engravings which is in bound volumes, embracing nearly 5,100 prints; and Bulletin 21 contains a list of the framed prints, not portraits, in Bates Hall. A Supplemental List, May, 1873, completes the catalogue of the collection. These lists have been bound in a separate volume. The Tosti Engravings, kept in volumes, are shown daily in the Bates Hall, from 9 to 12 M. The Curator has in charge a consolidated cata- logue, with cross-references, made from the printed lists ; and also a complete Card Catalogue for the entire collection is in separate drawers at the north end of the Catalogue-case of the Bates Hall, properly labelled. 22 CATALOGUES. PAMPHLETS. Special efforts are constantly made to increase the collection of pamphlets, and appeals are made to the friends of the Library for gifts of such, pub- lications. They are bound and catalogued as rapidly as jDossible, and are to be sought for in the catalogues in the same way as books. Those not yet bound or catalogued are kept assorted, and the Curator of the Pamphlets can be consulted concerning them. Duplicates not needed are in like manner arranged for exchanges. The following method of exchange has proved to be the best one : In return for pamphlets pub- lished in any particular State or section of the country, this Library will send an equal number issued in Massachusetts or New England. NEWSPAPERS. The titles of many of the newspapers in the Li- brary appear in the Bates Hall catalogue, both under their names and under " Periodicals. 1 ' The Curator has a special Card Catalogue in charge, which brings the record down to date. He has also in charge a list in which the newspapers are ar- ranged by years, so that it can be ascertained at once what papers in the Library cover a given period. A list of the files at the Boston Athenaeum, and at the Massachusetts Historical Society, is also in the Curator's keeping. Current newspapers are not taken ; but some of the principal newspapers CATALOGUES. 23 are added as the volumes are completed. The Curator of the Newspaper room can give all needful information upon application. MAPS. These are also to be searched for in the Bates Hall catalogues under the name of the country or place, and the engraver or compiler. U3P Look in the Card catalogues under the name of the country, division 52 d (that is, Geography, description and travel, sub-division Maps). Under the name of the city mid the division Description, topography , sub-division Maps. MANUSCRIPTS. A partial list of the manuscripts in this Library can be found in the Card catalogue, under the heading Manuscripts. The Bowditch mathemati- cal manuscripts appear in the Index of the Bates Hall. In the Prince Library there are many early New England manuscripts, a list of which may be found in the Prince catalogue. The Spanish manuscripts (mostly transcripts) in the Ticknor collection are described in the Ticknor catalogue. The Barton collection contains many interesting manuscripts and autographs. There are manu- scripts relating to the West Indies in the Hunt collection. The original parole of Burgoyne and Riedesel and their armies, given at Cambridge subsequent to the capitulation at Saratoga, is one of the most interesting manuscripts in the Library's collection. 24 CATALOGUES. DUPLICATES. A room in the basement is set apart for dupli- cates. They are not catalogued, but are arranged by classes, and in charge of a Curator. Many of these the Library would gladly exchange for other books not in its possession. THE CATALOGUE SYSTEM OF THE LIBRARY. There are three things, one of which a person in search of a book must know. A triple and combined alphabetical system will therefore guide the reader more readily than any other, as he always looks in the proper alphabetical place for the entry he seeks. These three things are as follows : — I. The title. If this is not clearly indicative of the subject of the work, search for it under the first word not an article or a preposition, or under the chief word of the title. If it is, the subject should be looked for rather than the title. II. The author's name. Find this in its proper alphabetical place. If the name is a pseudonym there will be a reference from it to the real name. When the initials of the author's name only ap- pear the last initial is put first. Look also under the names of editor's of collections. All editions of the Bible and its parts are entered under the word " Bible. 1 ' Societies, Governments, Depart- ments, etc., are considered as the authors of works published by them ; and such publications will CATALOGUES. 25 generally be found under the names of such bodies. In the headings of the titles, the names of authors are given in their vernacular form. French surnames preceded by Le, La, or L\ are entered under L; by Du or Bes under D ; by de or d\ under the initial letter of the name follow- ing this prefix. In English names the prefix is treated as a component part of the surname ; as in De Quincey, Van Ness. In other languages, surnames are entered under the. letter which begins the name that follows the prefix. Com- pound surnames, if English, are put under the last part of the name, when the first has not been used alone by the author ; if foreign, under the first part. British noblemen and ecclesiastical dig- nitaries are entered under their family names with cross-references from their titular appellations. All other noblemen are usually catalogued under their titles. Initials enclosed within marks of paren- thesis stand for Christian names which are not usu- ally retained by the persons to whom they properly belong; as About, E. (F. V.). In the headings of the titles, the German diphthongs, a, o, ii, are writ- ten a e, o e, u e ; Goethe occurs, for example, in alphabetical order, before Goldsmith, instead of after it. An italicized name within marks of pa- renthesis following the name of an author is the pseudonym of such author; as Agassiz, E. C. (^Actcea). Brackets, within titles, enclose words added, or changed in form. III. The Subject. Find this under the most specific head, and consult other heads referred to 26 CATALOGUES. there ; but observe that these references are not always to more general subjects, inasmuch as it is left to the intelligence of the user to look for mat- ter pertaining to the horse, for example, under such general heads as Natural History, Animals, Quad- rupeds, and Mammals, books on which general topics have, almost as a matter of course, chap- ters or sections on particular animals. Again, books on the same subject will sometimes be found under different heads, where the terms are synonymous, or nearly so, as, for instance, Coins and Numismatics ; but in such cases the cards are put under one of these heads with cross-references from the other. Indeed, a multiplication of cross- references is a fundamental idea of the system. This necessitates, of course, the disadvantage of turning from one part of the catalogue to another ; but there is, on the other hand, a great advantage in the certainty of getting a clew somewhere, — a thing often impossible in an unindexed classified catalogue, except to such as have made its system a study. ASSISTANCE TO READERS will be afforded by officers and attendants of the Library in the examination of the catalogues, to such an extent as other duties may permit ; but it should be remembered that all in the Library have special duties, and no considerable portion of their time should be held at the exclusive disposal of any individual reader, nor can they undertake to do merely literary work, such as making out CATALOGUES. 27 lists of books on particular subjects, searching out questions of publication and authorship, etc. ; but assistance of every kind will be given as far as consistent or practicable. Visitors are not allowed to converse with the attendants except upon Library business. Readers wishing to consult many books in protracted investigations, and to use pen and ink, can be accommodated in the Study Boom of the Bates Hall. Writing-paper is not supplied. HOW TO GET A BOOK. Having found the number attached to the book you want, take a slip furnished at the desk, and copy in the prescribed places the name and resi- dence on your card. Find in the catalogue the numbers attached to the book you want. Put the number before the dot (.) in the column on the slip headed Shelf, and that after the dot (.) in column headed No. ; and, if the book is in more than one volume, des- ignate the one wanted in the column headed Vol. If, for instance, you want the second volume of Bishop Hooper's works, the figures in the slip- columns will be written thus : — Shelf. No. Vol. JJfJ /s J Then hand the slip to the attendant at the desk, 28 CATALOGUES. together with your card, which will be returned to you with the book. At the Bates Hall desk is an indicator in charge of an attendant who, in a few seconds, will inform the applicant if the book desired is out, and thus save useless waiting. When books are in they are brought as speedily as possible; but parties should understand that each applicant is served in turn, and that which may seem to be a great delay is unavoidable by reason of the number of those en- titled to prior service. In the Lower Hall the slips will be found at the Clerk's desk. It is advisable to insert the numbers of several books, to increase the chance of finding one of them in. In this Hall hand in the slip and card at the Receiving counter, and listen for the calling of your name at the Delivery counter, where the book will be given to you with the card. If no book is given with the card it means that all the books designated on the slip are out. Then hand in a new slip, with other numbers, with the card again, at the Receiving counter. If you return a book with your card, but without a slip for another book, the card will be given out at the Delivery counter, not at the place it was put in. The Branch Libraries are in character mainly a counterpart of the Lower Hall Library ; and the foregoing directions are in most respects applica- ble to the use of them. In the Bates Hall, if you do not find a book in, you can have word sent to you when it is returned CATALOGUES. 29 to the shelf, by writing your name, address, the title and number of the book on a slate, which will be furnished at the desk. In such case the book is not, however, retained for you if another previously applies for it. BOOKS RECOMMENDED. Whenever a book not belonging to the Library is wanted by any person using the Library, such person is particularly requested to enter the title of the book on a slip furnished for the purpose, to which the person's name and residence must be added. It must be remembered that the book asked for may fail to come, if the application is not legibly filled in, and correctly, as regards title, author, etc. ; and, furthermore, that the order may be delayed, if obscure penmanship or in- sufficient or erroneous data render the labor of verification fruitless or uncertain. The book, if the purchase is approved by the Trustees, will be procured as soon as possible ; and, when received, will be retained in the Library three days, subject to the order of the person who asked for it, to whom due notice to that effect will be sent by mail. It is not intended, however, to allow applicants to secure the first use of popular books by recommending them before publication ; as such books are purchased irrespective of recommendations. If the book recommended is a foreign book (even though it may have an American title-page) 30 CATALOGUES. it is for the interest of the Library to avoid the payment of duties and to gain an increased dis- count by purchasing through its European agents. Six or eight weeks, and in some cases a longer time, may elapse before the applicant be notified of its arrival. Additional delays take place when the book needs to be bound before it is sent to the Library by its agents, or when recommendations are received just after the despatch of orders, particularly as regards foreign books. When the book recommended is out of print (and books still standing in current catalogues are often so) no positive assurance of its speedy procurement can be given. When applicants desire that a duplicate should be added, they will say so ; but judgment of the necessity must be based upon the Library's records of circulation. Bates Hall books are not generally duplicated; but other copies, or copies of cheaper editions, are sometimes put in the popular departments. If books are recommended by those not holding cards, no claim for special use can be established even if they are bought on such recommendation American orders are despatched almost daily; English, French, and German, weekly or fort- nightly, and those to Italy as occasion requires. A Spanish agency has been established at Madrid, from which books are received at irregular in- tervals. INDEX TO THE NOTES ABOUT BOOKS AND READING AND TO THE SPECIAL BOOK LISTS FOUND IN THE CATALOGUES OF THE BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY AND OTHER LIBRA- RIES, AND ALSO IN PERIODICALS. The Bulletins of the Boston Public Library con- tain lists of books on special subjects, with descrip- tive notes. There are also notes on Spanish and Portuguese books in the Ticknor Catalogue, and on works in the departments of history, biography, travel, and historical fiction in the Lower Hall catalogues. These Bulletins and other catalogues can be found at the Central library and the Branch libraries. Of the Bulletins, vol. 1 contains No. 1-19 ; vol. 2, No. 20-35 ; vol. 3, No. 36-47 ; vol. 4, No. 48-59 ; vol. 5, No. 60-66. All of these lists give the shelf-numbers of the books mentioned. The Bulletins of the Harvard College Library contain notes on books [shelf-no. *6194.7] ; the Providence Public Library publishes Monthly 32 INDEX TO NOTES ABOUT BOOKS. reference lists [*2M4.60], and other libraries have done more or less of the same kind of work.

By the publication of the new edition of Poole's Index to Periodical Literature, the reader is fur- nished with a much n< .aide. This work, which can be found at the desks of the Central Library and Branches, is brought down to January, 1882. It includes only periodicals in the English language, and but few that a f< ssional or otitic. A cooperative index to current num- bers of leading periodicals is published as a sup- plement to the Library Journal, beginning in the [C.R. 17.1.8, L883]. The cont< nts of many periodicals not included in Poole's Index can be found in the indexes enumerated in the followin . which is confined to such periodicals as are in the Boston Public Library. United States C< — The Index of these docum< nts, begun under the superintendence of the late Pr . C. Jewett, and printed to the year 1863 in the two volumes of Catalogues of the Pate- Hall Collection, has since that time been continued in manuscript on canl-, with which have been embodied, in a illy enlarged form, the contents of the printed lists i to. The whole forms a collection of nearly fifty thousand titles, which are accessible to reader-. Under the heading- United Slates, in the following list, other indexes are mentioned. INDEXES TO PERIODICALS. ETC. 55 The collection of congressional documents in the Boston Public Library, based on the collection made by Peter Force and Edward Everett, and generously increased by the friends of the Library, is believed to be unrivalled. Parliamentary Sessional Papers of Great Britain. — The index of these papers, from 1807 to 1865, can.be found in the two printed volumes of the Bates Hall Catalogue. From 1866-1869, reference must be had to the numerical list and index which accompanies the documents of each year. An index of the papers for 1870 to 1878-9 forms volume 83, part 1, of the documents for 18S0. Other indexes are mentioned in this list under Great Britain and Hansard. Indexes of subjects selected from the sessional papers from -1881 are given in the Library Bulletins for July, 1878, January and April, 1880, October, 1881, April, 1882, and October, 1883, and it is in- tended to continue these indexes in the Bulletins whenever new documents are received.

A Selection from the Encyclopaedias in the Library. The following 1 list embraces a selection from the encyclopaedias in the Boston Public Library. Few but those of a general character and a recent date are given. It is to be remembered, however, that many encyclopaedias published earlier contain much useful information, which is not obsolete. The titles of other encyclopaedias may be found in the Card Catalogue, under the words Encyclo- paedias, and under the names of the various sciences, division Dictionaries.

The Patent Specifications and Drawings, and the decisions of the Commissioner of Patents and of the United States courts of the United States; the Patent Documents of Great Britain (from 16 17 to 1882 inclusive, with the acconrpanying indexes, etc., completed) ; of France (from 1791 to 18G7, 1871 to 1877, with indexes) ; of Germany to date, Canada, and Victoria, are kept in the Patent room, adjacent to the Bates Hall, under the charge of a Curator, and can be examined on application at the desk. [See Article 7.] The American volumes are received monthly, about six months behind date. The Official Gazette is received weekly. The Journal of the Franklin Institute is in the Patent room, and may be consulted for American patents previous to the official records. Whatever matter relating to patents the Con- gressional documents contain, can be most readily found by consulting the 3is. index to these docu- ments in Bates Hall. The British volumes are received once a year, and make now about 50 volumes each year. Since 187G the plates are reproduced in a smaller size than heretofore, and bound with the specifications, 100 of each, with an index, forming a volume. 96 PATENTS. The Commissioners of Patents' Journal forms two volumes a year. An abridgment of the patents, arranged by subjects, brought down to 1866 (many having been brought down to 1876) , makes a series of 120 small volumes on 99 sub- jects. This is continued in an Annual "Descrip- tive index, 1 ' which ends at the close of 1875. Patents for Firearms have a separate series, com- ing down to 1853. ISTo abridgments of current patents have been published since 1875. The Subject-matter index down to 1852 fills two vol- umes, and is continued by an annual volume to 1870. From 1871 to 1882, inclusive, these annual continuations of the index have been published in a more condensed form yearly. There is also a Reference index, 1617-1852, with Appendix volume, 1853-5; a Chronological index, 1617-1868; and an Alphabetical index of Patentees, 1617-1882. During 1866-7-8, the En- glish Patent Office published an index to foreign scientific periodicals. For recent British patents, "The Engineer" [7961.2], a weekly London journal, which is received regularly in the Period- ical reading-room of the Library, should be con- sulted. It contains a " Patent Journal, condensed from the Journal of the Commissioners of patents," and gives abstracts of specifications. These vol- umes cannot be taken from the building. Matter relative to the British system of patents may be found in the sessional papers of Parliament, by consulting the indexes to them mentioned on page 66 of this hand-book. PATENTS. 97 The British Parliament passed, in 1883, a new- Patent law, to go into operation January 1, 1884. A copy of the law can be seen in the Patent room. The Canada Patent-Office record (monthly) , begun in 1873, is in the Patent room. There are indexes of Victoria (Australia) pat- ents for 1854-73, with abstracts of specifications and plates for 1869-73 ; also alphabetical abstracts for 1854-66, Accidents — Buoys; and of patents relating to metals. The French patents have the specifications and plates bound together. The volumes for 1863-71 are now in course of publication, so that the miss- ing numbers will be in time supplied. The vol- umes of the Technologiste (1839-83), kept in the room, cover these missing years. A Subject-matter index of the French patents, just published by the United States Patent Office (1883) is in the Patent room . The library does not receive the regular official issue of the German patents. For these consult the Patentblatt, a w r eekly journal without specifications, and drawings, and the Illustrirtes Patent-Blatt, issued three times a month, with specifications and drawings. For patents or inventions previous to 1877, consult Dingler's Polytechnisches Journal [5927.1] (from 1820 to date) and the Polytech- nisches Centralblatt [7960.5] (from 1835 to 1875). All these are to be found in the Patent room. The " Bulletin du Musee de Tindustrie " (1857- 83), published at Brussels, and kept in the room, may also be consulted for Belgian patents. 98 PATENTS. The following- list of books does not contain all in the Library of interest to persons using the Patent room. Other books may be found by look- ing' in the Card Catalogue under the names of inventions, of inventors, and of parties to suits about patents. IN GENERAL. Agricultural implements. See Allen.

GENERAL INFORMATION. The Boston Public Library contained, November 1, 1883, 434,158 volumes, exclusive of pamphlets. These are distributed as follows : At the Central Library 313,811 volumes, and at the Branches 120,317 volumes. The Lower Hall of the Central Library contains the larger part of the English fiction, and books for the young, to be found within this building, with a limited collection of books in the depart- ments of history, travel, the arts and sciences, and works in foreign languages, etc. The Bates Hall collection, numbering 274,375 volumes, represents the accumulation of books received by gift or purchase, during the past thirty-one years. EARLY PRINTED BOOKS. The oldest complete specimen of printing in the Library is the " Supplementing " of Nieolaus Auximanus, printed in Venice about 1471, shelf- number, **7620.8. It is described in the Bulletin for April, 1883, p. 344. GENERAL INFORMATION. 121 The following, selected from the titles of the early printed books in the Library, may be men- tioned : — A Latin Bible, known as Eggestein's first Bible, the first volume only, from Genesis to Psalms, printed at Strasburg in 1468; shelf-number **6010.3. (In the Show Case.) A book on the lives and deaths of poets and philosophers, in Latin, and in Gothic type, by Walter Burley. Printed in Nuremberg in 1472. **B. 140.15. A nearly complete set of the original edition of the Speculum Qnadruplex of Vincentius Bello- vacensis, or de Burgundia, in eleven volumes, including two of duplicates. Printed in 1473-76, at Strasbunr and Augsburg. It has the chain and staple by which it was fastened to the desk. **B.150.1-6. The Sermones of Utino, **B.140,12, supposed to have been printed in 1474. The Nuremberg Chronicle, so called, printed in 1493. Two copies. Interesting not only as a specimen of early printing, but for the many hun- dred curious wood-cuts which it contains, which illustrate the early history of the art. **4140.5; **2210.1. A German Bible (Genesis to Psalms), with many colored prints, some of them nearly the same as in the Nuremberg Chronicle. Printed in Nuremberg, 1483. **6010.10. The Epistles of St. Jerome, in Latin.

A set of De Bit's Voyages, in nine volumes, printed at Frankfort, 1590-1634, with its interest- ing- maps and engravings. Another copy is in the Barton Library. A large proportion of the rare and notable books in the Library belong to the following spe- cial colleetions : — THE BOWDITCH LIBRARY. In the year 1858 the sons of the late Nathaniel Bowditch gave to the Boston Public Library their father's books and manuscripts. These are kept together in a part of the Bates Hall since then known as the Bowditch Gallery, and are cata- logued in the Bates Hall Index, published in 1861. Later additions are catalogued in the Bulletin for April, 1878, p. 330, and reprinted as a separate cata- logue [shelf no. *6200,20]. Within the past six years the mathematical part of this collection has been largely increased by books purchased with a fund given for that purpose by members of the Bowditch family. There is a special card cata- logue of these mathematical books in this col- lection in the Trustees' Room, which can be consulted by students. GENERAL INFORMATION. 123 THE PRINCE LIBRARY. The Reverend Thomas Prince bequeathed, in 1758, to the Old South Church of Boston, of which he had been the pastor, his collection of books and manuscripts, a large part of which relate to the civil and religious history of New England. In the year 18G6 this collection was deposited by the Deacons of the Old South Church in the Boston Public Library. The introduction to the Catalogue of the Prince Library, which was published in the year 1870, gives an account of this unique col- lection. Among the rare books which it includes are two copies of the Bay Psalm Book, which was printed at Cambridge in the year 1640, and which was the first book printed in the British posses- sions. Also copies of the first edition of Eliot's Indian Bible, Cambridge, 16G3, and of the second edition, Cambridge, 1G85, and a copy of Eliot's Indian Primer, Boston, 1720. For an account of the many other rare books in this Library reference must be had to the Catalogue. The manuscripts collected by Thomas Prince, and indexed in this Catalogue under the divisions, Mather papers, 1632-1080, Cotton papers, 1632-1680, Cotton and Prince papers, and Hinckley papers, 1676-1699, etc., are the chief possessions of the Boston' Pub- lic Library in the department of manuscripts. PARKER LIBRARY. An interesting account, by Thomas W. Higgin- son, of the collection of books bequeathed by 124 GENERAL INFORMATION. Theodore Parker to the Boston Public Library, may be found in the Annual Report of the Library for the year 1883. This collection is especially rich in editions of the classics, and in works upon language, ecclesiastical history, etc., and includes man}' rare books. THE TICKNOR LIBRARY. In the introduction to the Ticknor Catalogue reference is made to the character and value of this rare collection of Spanish and Portuguese books, which was bequeathed to the Boston Pub- lic Library by George Ticknor, the historian of Spanish literature. Among the many rare books of the Ticknor Library the following may be mentioned : — Amadis de Gaula. Venice, ] 533. F°. [D.190.3.] Barahona de Soto, L. Primera parte de la Angelica. Granada, 1588.

The library has also a copy of the Polyglot Bible of Cardinal Ximenes, in six volumes; printed at Alcala de Ilenares in 1514- 17. [**5440.1.] THE BARTON LIBRARY. An interesting sketch of this collection, as it was when in the hands of the collector, may be 126 GENERAL INFORMATION. found in Wynne's "Private libraries of New York" [2126.3]. The Shakespearian part, which is the finest col- lection of its kind in America, and will take rank among the best in Europe, embraces about 2,500 volumes. The catalogue of this portion, includ- ing, also, nearly 2,000 works upon the same subject in the general library, lias already been issued. From this it will be seen that the Library has the first four folios in fine condition, twenty-two early quartos, and the most desirable editions published since, such as the first illustrated, the first Ameri- can, the first Boston, the Sir Walter Scott, the Halliwell folio, and nearly all the variorum edi- tions. Moreover, there are translations in Ger_ man, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Bohemian, Danish, Friesic, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Plattdeutsch, Polish, Swedish, and Welsh. The collection of works illustrative of Shakespeare and his writings is wonderfully complete, and is con- stantly added to, everything of value published in this country or abroad being procured it* possible. The catalogue of the remainder of the Barton Library is nearly ready for the printer, and can be consulted on application at the desk in Bates Hall. Among the early specimens of printing are Colonne's Historia Troiana, 148G ; Thwrocz's Chronicles of the Kings of Hungary, 1488; Gesta Romanorum, three editions before 1490; Historia Alexandri, 1486 ; Albumasar flores astrologie, be- fore 1488; Bucolicum carmen, by Calpurnius Siculus, 1491. GENERAL INFORMATION. 127 Among the rare books may be mentioned the following: Spenser's Daphnaida, 1591, Fowre h}*mnes, 1596, Prothalamion, 1596, Complaints, 1591; HolinshecTs Chronicles, editions of 1577, and 1587 ; a magnificent set of De Bry's voyages, 1590-1631, in 16 volumes ; the Vinegar Bible, 1717; first editions of most of the old English dramatists of the 17th century ; Greene's Groats- worth of wit, 1629; England's Parnassus, 1600; Clarke's Polimanteia, 1595, containing nearly the earliest mention of Shakespeare ; -Scot's Witch- craft, 1581; Goulart's Admirable histories, 1607; Roman de la rose, 1529; Les Marguerites de la Marguerite de Navarre, 1547 ; La Fontaine's Contes et nouvelles, 1762, illustrated by Charles Eisen ; Folengo's macaronics, in the editions of 1517, 1521, 1692, 1734, in six volumes, printed on vellum, and 1768; Cancionero general, 1573, and scores of other rarities. THE HUNT COLLECTION. Mr. Benjamin P. Hunt bequeathed to the Boston Public Library his collection of books, manu- scripts, and charts on the West Indies. These number about 700 volumes, and, added to the books of a similar character already in the Library, form a noteworthy collection. THE FRANKLIN LIBRARY. This department of the Boston Public Library is based upon the collection of Benjamin Franklin 128 GENERAL INFORMATION. books, pamphlets, and engravings given to the Library by Dr. Samuel A. Green, and since in- creased by the income of a fund received fro*m him. To these have been added similar books, from the general collection of the Library, and the whole have been placed on shelves set apart for them. Lists of the titles of this collection have been published in the several Bulletins of the Public Library for 1882 and 1883, and they will be continued in a future number of the Bulletin. At their completion they will be published as a sepa- rate catalogue. These lists contain also the titles of such works as this Library lacks and wishes to receive by purchase or gift. THE THAYER COLLECTION. The Public Library received, in the year 1877, by bequest from Miss Eliza Mary Thayer, about 900 volumes, largely upon English history. An especial value is attached to these books from the portraits which they contain, many of which were taken from other sources and inserted in these volumes. This bequest was supplemented, in the year 1883, by a gift of similar works from Mrs. R. Anne Nichols, and Miss Caroline Coddington Thayer, the sisters of Miss Eliza M. Thayer. THE TOSTI ENGRAVINGS. The Tosti engravings were presented to the Li- brary, in 1869, by Thomas G. Appleton, who pur- chased the collection in Rome. A few of the prints in frames are displayed in various apartments of the Library. The greater part of those that came GENERAL INFORMATION. 129 framed have been removed from the frames and arranged alphabetically by the names of their en- gravers in portfolios. About 5,100 prints are in bound volumes, and several hundred more are in portfolios. The catalogues of them have been described on page 21 of this Hand-book. The previous owner of this collection was the Cardinal Antonio Tosti, who died March 23, I860, aired 90. In 1834 he was made treasurer of the pontifical government, a post which he continued to hold for ten years, when he resigned it into the hands of Gregory XIV. He is regarded as the founder of the industrial and artistic school in the hospital San Michele, of which institution he was director at the time of his death. This collection was made by Cardinal Tosti, probably without any systematic plan ; its devel- opment having doubtless been controlled in some degree by his opportunities. As patron of the school of San Michele, in Rome, he stood in inti- mate relations with two of its scholars, who gained eminence in the art of engraving, — Mercurj and Calamatta, — and he doubtless had their assistance in gathering, whence he could, specimens of their art; while they, furthermore, almost always fur- nished him with the earliest impressions of their works. A distinctive feature of the collection is, beyond doubt, its portraits. Edelinck, Drevet, Nanteuil, and Schmidt, are here strongly repre- sented. The earlier Italian masters will not be found to be well represented. The English school is but slightly represented, while the modern French school is more fully set forth. 130 GENERAL INFORMATION* These engravings can be studied to advantage in connection with books in the Public Library, on the fine arts, engraving, painting, and in works upon different artists, etc. The student should consult the Gray engravings, at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which is a more systematic collec- tion. BRANCH LIBRARIES. There are Branch libraries of the Boston Public Library at Brighton, Charlestown, Dorchester, East Boston, Jamaica Plain, Roxbmy, South Bos- ton, and at the South End. These contain from 10,000 volumes, or thereabouts, to 25,000 volumes each. In some cases these branches have special funds, the income of which is used for the pur- chase of books. There are delivery stations at the Lower Mills (Dorchester), Mattapan, Neponset, the North End (Boston), Roslindale, and WestRoxbury. Books in the Bates Hall of the Central Library can be applied for at the several branches and delivery stations, and, if they are on the shelves, they will be sent to the branch or delivery the same or the following day. GIFTS. Gifts of books and of every description of pam- phlets are very acceptable. When requested by note or letter, or b} r word left with the desk attend- ants, the Librarian will cause packages -to be sent for. Friends at a distance may send by ex- press, at the Library's expense. CHRONOLOGY OF THE LIBEABT. 1S41-1S47. Various preliminary movements made towards a City Library.
