Excerpt from Library Aids
IT is very desirable that a library manual should be prepared and published. None exists in the Eng lish language. There are materials, however, for a good one in the contents of the seven volumes Of the Library Journal already published and of the Special Report issued at Washington in 1876, by the Bureau Of Education, and entitled Public Libraries in the United States Of America, their history, condition, and management.
I have been requested to call attention to the more important articles and papers in these publications, and by grouping them under appropriate headings make their usefulness more apparent than it is at present to the great body Of librarians and persons interested in establishing and maintaining libraries.

Excerpt from Library Aids
He has added, with the kind permission of the authors, the library references from Poole's "Index to Periodicals," and the chapter on " Books and Articles on Reading," from "Libraries and Readers," by W. E. Foster; also the bibliography references from the "American Catalogue," and (without permission, a liberty which the publisher feels assured the authors will forgive for the good purpose sake) the library authorities quoted in that admirable article on "Libraries," by H. R. Tedder and E. C. Thomas, in the "Encyclopædia Britannica."
There is, perhaps, a raison d'étre for the appendix of publishers' pages, since all contain "works for the library."
It is hoped that this little volume may form the foundation of a "Library Annual," having for chief features a topical record of the more prominent bibliographies, and of the articles and books relating to libraries, published during the year. Any suggestions, or bibliographical contributions, will be thankfully received.
