(Harv. 1871), of Cambridge, author of "Familiar Quotations," and a Concordance of Shakespeare, etc., himself "a practitioner of more than fifty years, experience of the art of angling"; by him it was presented to the Library of Harvard College, Nov. 17th, 1892, when it numbered 1014 volumes and 269 pamphlets. A large proportion of the volumes are handsomely bound, the panels of the back being ornamented in many cases with dies showing fishes in gold. After the collection was received, it was arranged in subject groups according to the scheme given on the next page, and to it were added most of what few books on angling proper the Library already possessed. In other groups of the collection, however, the like was not done, and the catalogue, therefore, does not represent the full strength of the College Library in fisheries, fish culture, the natural history of fishes, etc.; nor have there been added from the College Library any books dealing indirectly with angling, like travels and other descriptive works, which Mr. Bartlett collected in large numbers. The books were catalogued and the list prepared by Miss Louise Rankin Albee, of the Library staff, in the summer and autumn of 1893, and the spring of 1895, pressure of other work necessitating long interruptions. The arrangement of titles and the position of shelf-marks on the printed page have been determined solely by the requirements of the card catalogue, since the list is printed from the type set up for the cards. A catalogue of the collection was printed at Cambridge in 1882 [Ang. 1.55], and a supplement in 1886 [Ang. 1.56]. A second supplement exists in manuscript [Ang. 1.56]. |
